ball goes 3 yards. If so, how do I increase my swing speed. Thank you.



Jim,

Here's my Rx for your Clubhead Speed problem.

From the Top of your swing, do these three things:

First, Drag the Butt End of the Club toward the Target Line
somewhere behind the Ball. Makes no difference at what spot, just Drag the
Club toward the Target Line behind the Ball;

Second, almost immediately after you've begun to Drag the Club
Down, let your Left Wrist Uncock, just like you were using your Left
Wrist to sling a water bottle directly toward the Target Line behind
the Ball;

Third, once you've felt the 'slinging' start, Roll your Hands
on a Straight Line through the Ball.

Drag, Uncock and Roll, Jim. Got it?


Now do it!
