What Is the "Secret" to More Distance?

With the writing and publication of my new e-book, Goodbye Hit, Hello Swing, Part III, "Swing Power," The Stress-Free Solution for More Distance, I have been really tuned in to ideas and practices related to speed, acceleration, and distance. The concept of "gradual acceleration," which is at the heart of speed and distance, can be a hard one to explain and understand. But believe me, it makes a tremendous difference (as opposed to trying to produce speed with a sudden burst or jolt). Here is a good metaphor I recently came across in the interesting little book called "Golffirmations" by Hugh O'Neill. Keep this idea in mind the next time you go to the practice range or the course. And for more guidance, check out my book by CLICKING HERE.

Try working this automotive metaphor into your golf consciousness, and it can help you start the downswing with ease. This idea is courtesy of Mickey Wright, who won 82 times on the LPGA tour, including an astonishing 50 victories over 5 years:

You can't take a car from a dead stop and put it immediately up to 70 miles per hour. No matter how powerful your engine, you must have a gradual acceleration of speed. So it is in a golf swing.

So, the "secret" is the concept of "gradual." Plant this idea in your mind and work with it in your physical game and watch what develops...

Here's to a great swing!
