In this video, you’ll get a great drill to increase swing speed.
First, you’ll see what you absolutely don’t want to do…
Gripping the club way too tight with your right hand destroys your swing speed…
And it causes you to cast the club and push it through contact.
To increase your swing speed, relax the right hand grip a bit…
And let the club accelerate so fast that your right hand will have trouble hanging on.
Grabbing on tight with the right hand is common for most of us…
So it’s going to take some work to train yourself not grip the club too hard.
I have a great drill to help you get the correct feeling and increase swing speed.
I want you to practice with your left arm only.
This may seem extreme, but it’s a great way to break the habit of squeezing too hard with your right hand.
Start the drill by gripping up on the club about five inches with your left hand…
And feel like you’re holding on with your bottom three fingers.
Get a little bend in your legs during the downswing and rise up as your club releases.
Here’s an extra tip…
As you begin the downswing, bow your left wrist a bit.
This will help square up your clubface for more consistent ball striking.
Now, start hitting some balls with the one arm drill, letting the club accelerate through contact.
Put in a hundred reps…
Then add your right hand on the club.
As you make a normal swing, you should start to rely less on your right hand.
