Power Factor 4: Ascending Strike
WHAT IT IS: The bottom of your swing arc occurs before the ball, and you catch the ball at the very start of the upswing.
WHAT IT DOES: Gives you a ton more carry and, since you'll be landing the ball in the fairway, more roll, too. Research by swing analyzers like TrackMan (www.trackmangolf.com) and TaylorMade's MATT (Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade) system back this up. Check the data at right.
NO! Downward strikes result in more backspin and a loss of distance.
