How to Max Out Your Drives

Create width

THE GOAL A wide swing arc creates more power than a narrow one. Good players ensure a larger arc by maintaining their right-arm width — not by swinging with a stiff left arm.

THE DRILL As you take the club back, open your right hand but maintain pressure on the grip with the bottom of your hand. This simple drill will give you the feeling of righthand pressure that will help provide the wide swing arc you're looking for.
