Unlock Your Best Swing: Two Simple Tricks to Get Through the Ball

Struggling to get through the golf ball? Let’s fix that with two easy adjustments that’ll transform your swing.

1. Set Your Feet for Success
Many golfers start with their feet pointing straight or even inward. This limits hip mobility and restricts your swing. Instead:
- Slightly turn your left foot outward about 20 degrees.
- Add a small outward turn to your right foot about 5 degrees.

This adjustment opens up your hips, giving you more freedom to rotate through the ball, especially if you have tight hips or knees.

2. Focus on Your Trail Arm
Forget about forcing your chest through the swing—that’ll only cramp your movement. Instead, focus on your trail arm (right arm for right-handed players).
- After setup, extend your trail arm fully during the follow-through.
- Imagine skipping a stone: your arm naturally extends and creates speed. Apply that to your swing.

Bonus Practice Drill
Take three balls and practice without a club first. Feel the motion of your trail arm extending as you twist your body. Then try with a club, focusing on smooth, powerful extension.

Key takeaway: It’s all about setting up your feet and allowing your trail arm to drive the motion. With these tweaks, you'll create more speed and consistency.
