When you want a little extra yardage, try going against your instincts. Instead of thinking you have to go 125 percent, aim at a target that's 75 percent of your maximum distance. And every time you do this, the 75 percent concept is reinforced. Also, focus on tempo and rhythm rather than mechanics. Many golfers get too deliberate when they want extra yards, thinking that perfect mechanics will yield the most powerful swing.
Truth is, power comes from relaxed muscles, while mechanical thoughts create tension.
So, turn on the power by turning down your level of control. Pro Shop Golfstats Privacy Policy . Time4 Media .
