Power Tips # 1

Grip it Right! One of the first things to check when trying for more distance is your grip. The best grip for maximum distance is a 'fingers' grip rather than a 'palms' or 'fisty' grip. Many short hitters grab the club like a baseball bat, in the palms rather than in the fingers. A 'fingers' grip allows the club to release through the impact zone. Swing it Slow!: Contrast that with the swings of many amateurs. The most common tendency is to swing fast and rip at the ball.

Use a 'fingers' grip to help release the club through impact.

Keep a light grip for maximum distance.
