Increase Your Power

Problem

You are wondering if you should practice with a weighted club to increase your power.

Cure

A weighted club is great to help you build up arm strength and to use before playing because your driver will feel much lighter and you will be able to whip it through impact. However, do not overlook the benefits of swinging with a light club. It is a great tool because it allows you know what speed feels like.

Therapy

Practice your full swing using just an old shaft, practice stick, or a light club. Swing it as hard as you can without falling over. It will teach you how to stay in balance during a powerful swing and it can help improve your flexibility. After swinging this way for ten minutes, hit a few balls with your driver to see if it adds distance to your drives.
