Hit It Far, Even As You Get Older
To hit the ball farther, you do not need more strength.
You need a better sequence.
The drill below helps activate what many golfers call the whip effect. Instead of creating speed too early with your arms, the speed is released later, closer to the golf ball.
That means more lag, more shaft lean, better compression, and more distance.
The Jon Rahm Drill
Most amateur golfers try to create speed with their arms.
Great golfers create speed through sequence.
This drill teaches your body how to create speed from the ground up, allowing the clubhead to accelerate later in the downswing.
The result is more distance with less effort.
Watch the video above.
Follow the drill exactly as described and focus on creating speed through sequence, not through your arms.
If you need help applying this drill to your own swing, Tour Player Sandra Gal and I currently help golfers inside our coaching program with individual feedback, practice plans, and step by step guidance.
