Acceleration Drill

Problem

You need to increase the speed of your drives for more distance.

Cure

Acceleration is crucial for speed. Keep accelerating your swing into your follow through. A great key thought is to accelerate until your trailing shoulder is pointing towards the target during your follow through.

Therapy

Work on acceleration by swinging the club upside down. Do this by holding onto the clubhead. Use your usual swing and fight the resistance you feel in the shaft by continuously accelerating the club all the way into finish. You will soon notice that when you get a good acceleration that you will hear swooshing sound near the bottom of your swing or just past it.
