Lead With Your Left

Lead With Your Left

 When you want to get some extra distance out of your drives, it’s natural to think that your dominant hand should supply the power. In reality, however, maximum power is a result of a left-hand lead (for right handed golfers).

The best way to feel the proper start of the downswing is to imagine that your right arm is being pulled by the left for as long as possible. A great drill to get this feeling is to release your right hand from the club at the start of your downswing and swing only with your left. With practice, this drill will ultimately lead to more power and control.
