Tip of the Day -- 01/18/07

For more power, try standing a little closer.

Standing away from the ball with your driver and extending your arms may feel powerful but it is actually a weak position. You will tend to swing more freely, which makes the club feel heavier, and as a result, you will lose distance. Try addressing the ball by standing tall, with knees flexed and a slight bend in your back. Your turn will be better, and your club will turn on a more upright plane that will deliver more power to the ball.
