To hit the long ball you have to shift your
weight properly. Improper weight shift is a major cause of lack of
distance. Assume a narrow stance using a mid-iron. Take several practice
swings. Begin your backswing by lifting your left foot slightly off the
ground. |
As you initiate your downswing replace your
left foot and then lift your right foot as you follow-though. Trouble with
this drill may indicate a weight transfer problem. You will know
immediately if you are not shifting your weight back and then forward
properly. |
