How to add yards

1 Power from the ground

Golf has become much more of a power game, and a few extra yards can give you shorter clubs in or bring longer par 4s or even par 5s into range. So how do you go about generating more power?

Look to your main power sources first – the legs and the ground. Try to feel as though you’re pushing down more into your left side with your body as you start down from the top, as Rory does, then move back up again as you actually hit through to draw power up from the ground. The best players in the world move upwards and back a little bit through the ball, staying behind it with the sternum. You could try this without a club first to get a feel for the movements.
