When people try to improve their golf swing speed they often have the wrong idea that they need to swing hard. Swinging fast is completely different than swinging hard. And one of the biggest differences is in muscle tension. To swing FAST you must be very relaxed when you’re swinging. Tension in your swing is a silent killer when it comes to hitting the golf ball further.
A tense muscle is a slow muscle.
So because our goal is speed in the golf swing today we have for you a couple of great techniques you can try to reduce tension in your golf swing so you will hit the golf ball further. Here’s the first one…
1st. Setup to swing your driver, but before you start to swing tense up your entire body, particularly your arms and shoulders, and then hold this tension and swing as fast as you can. Then immediately after doing this take another swing but this time relax your muscles and swing. Go and do that exercise right now and then come back here.
You would have found a HUGE difference in speed from the first golf swing to the second golf swing.
Now you can actually use this tension and hold technique before you hit any golf shot or just for swinging the club when you’re doing The Golf Swing Speed Challenge. To do this simply before you swing the golf club tense up your entire body and hold this for 5 seconds and then release and relax your body.
Then when you go to swing you’ll be a lot less likely to have tension in your body so you’ll have a faster, quicker golf swing. You can even make this part of your pre-shot routine simply by tensing up the one part of your body that seems to give you the most trouble. For most golfers that’s their arms. If you look at a lot of golfers when they setup to the golf ball they look like they’re squeezing the club to death. You want your arms and shoulders to be very relaxed before swinging the golf club and during the swing so you swing with maximum speed.
So before you swing a golf club tense your arms as hard as you can and hold for 5 seconds and then release and relax and then swing the golf club. You’ll notice you swing much faster when you are relaxed.
OK, that’s the first thing you can do to swing faster, here’s the second…
2nd. To reduce tension in your golf swing simply hum as you’re swinging. Start humming before you swing and then swing and notice your humming. This is basically a way of getting bio feedback about your golf swing. Because if you swing and your humming changes dramatically or it stops, that means you’re tightening a lot as you’re swinging.
Now when you’re swinging you simply have to notice the changes to the humming. But don’t try to swing with less tension. Just swing while humming and your golf swing will change and the tension will reduce. This happens because you’re made aware of something and for reasons you don’t need to understand, you’ll swing with less tension and more power.
So there you go, that’s two things you can do right now in your golf swing to swing quicker and hit the ball further.
Naturally these power drills we’re giving you are only to compliment The Golf Swing Speed Challenge program. Because when you start that program you’ll notice very quickly your golf swing becoming faster and better plus…
- You’ll enjoy playing golf more because you’ll be hitting the ball further, better and with less effort.
