Apply Pressure

Problem

You want more yardage and need to improve on accuracy.

Cure

Avoid applying pressure too soon with your trailing hand.

Therapy

Great players tend to apply pressure with their trailing hand just before impact and eleven inches past impact. Golfers lose potential power when they apply pressure as soon as they start their forward swing. Allow your trailing hand to simply be on the club for support and focus on letting your forward hand to almost feel as if it is pulling the club down along with gravity. You will then feel your trailing hand gain pressure and power as you approach the impact zone.
