Powerful Golf Swing. Do you want it. Take the time.

How do you build a powerful golf swing? When you watch those big strong golf pro’s swing that golf club so effortlessly but still reach those tremendous distances you cant help to wonder how they achieve this, it looks so simple and easy. You start to think there must be some kind of secret that only the golf pro’s know about and they wont tell anyone else how to build a powerful golf swing. I am sure you have experienced that feeling when you’re out on the golf course that you just cant get any distance, your golf swing just don’t feel comfortable, and the harder you try to hit that ball the more disastrous the outcome. You just don’t have a powerful golf swing. Off to the practice range and you find out that hitting four hundred balls only helped a slight bit if any, and on the golf course the next week you can see little improvement. So what do I need to do? You need club control and that will come automatically if you have a powerful golf swing.The golf instructor at my local golf club gave me a tip for building a powerful golf swing. Practice your golf swing holding the club only in your left hand if you’re a right handed player and vice versa if you are left handed. It helped a tremendous amount. I could see and feel the difference out on the course the first timeSo I took it a step further and taped a piece of lead weighing about one pound just above the club head of my five iron. And started practicing swinging the club just like a normal golf swing, with the correct posture, grip, full back swing and full follow through but holding the club only in my left hand. Only for about twenty minutes a day.A very simple drill but I could not believe the results I got. Now it feels like I am only pulling the club through the ball and it flies a mile. At last a powerful golf swing!
