Turn everything for
more power
Allowing your hips to turn freely
on the backswing is the secret to
more power and distance. A full
turn of the right hip not only helps
you make a full accompanying
shoulder turn, it also gives you
the space to attack the ball
slightly from the inside and the
extra room to hit up on the ball
through impact for higher-
launched tee shots.
PRACTICE TIP
Keep your swing on plane
Place a couple of alignment sticks
parallel to your target line either side of
the ball. As you swing back, make sure
the butt of the club points at the sticks
until you hinge your wrists and then
again once you’ve reached your
halfway back position.
