golf distance is a goal that the majority of players are looking to
achieve these days! Find out what 3 key factors influence golfing
distance below, and start working on improving your average golf
driving distance today!
Golf Distance Factor 1 - Clubhead Speed:
Clubhead
speed is probably the most important factor that influences golf
distance, and there are 5 elements which influence clubhead speed:
1) Physical Strength
- is the most important factor when it comes to generating club head
speed and is the main reason why men and women play golf from different
tee boxes! Having said that, we have all seen big strong men being out
driven by lesser physically gifted people?.....this is because there
are other important factors involved and not just physical strength,
when it comes to hitting the golf ball a long way! |
2) Body Flexibility
- is also a crucial factor to building up club head speed. To create a
golf swing that is made for distance requires some movements of the
body that will rely on you having good flexibility. You may be
physically very strong but if you are not able to complete a full hip
and shoulder turn then you are losing significant potential distance
from your golf swing.
If you are interested in improving your
golf swing and generating more club head speed through developing your
physical strength and body flexibility, then i would highly recommend
Mike Pedersen's 'Power Golf Training Program'.
Mike Pedersen is
a well respected and well recognized golf fitness expert, who has
helped improve the golfing performance of many touring
professionals through his specific golf training exercises. These golf
fitness exercises are specifically designed to increase golfing
strength and flexibility and luckily he is sharing them with us in this
fully comprehensive, easy to follow golfing ebook!.
3) Swing Technique
- there is of course another vital ingredient to increasing your club
head speed, and will be influenced by your physical shape, body
strength and flexibility, so working on the above 2 elements will
certainly increase your chances of achieving a more successful swing
technique.
Again best selling ebook 'The Simple Golf Swing' by
David Nevogt might be of interest to you! David Nevogt believes that he
can get any golfer to break 80, no matter what their physical abilities
are, and with a 95% success rate, who's to doubt him!
4) Leverage
- this is a factor which unfortunately you have no control over, as it
is an inherited attribute, and relates to the length of your left arm
(for right handers). If 2 golfers have equal strength, the one with the
longer left arm will have the potential for greater club head speed and
so more golf distance.
5) Neuromuscular coordination
- this relates to the bodies ability to use its muscles at the
right time and with the right amount of force. Again, this is mainly an
inherited attribute, although can be developed and fine tuned through
practice and experience.
Golf Distance Factor 2 - Centeredness Of Contact:
To
maximize your golf distance you will need to be hitting the golf ball
in the center of the clubface, otherwise known as the sweet spot! This
is where you will achieve the maximum amount of energy transfer. A golf
ball being struck at 100 m.p.h with a center faced hit will travel
roughly 240 yards! You will gradually lose golfing distance the further
away you are from a center faced hit, in fact just 3/4 of an inch off
center will lose you approximately 30 yards!
Golf Distance Factor 3 - Angel Of Approach:
The
angle at which the club head approaches the golf ball will also
influence golf distance! The steeper the angle of approach is, the more
backspin is imparted on the ball, more backspin results in more lift
and consequently less golfing distance. Also, the more the angle of
approach deviates from the optimum swing plane the less power can be
transmitted for sending the golf ball forward.
