To Hit the Golf Ball Farther, Get Wide!

From Michael Breed On January 29, 2024
Have you ever felt like you're swinging with a lot of effort, but the ball isn't going anywhere? The problem could be simple - you're attack angle. If you're coming into the ball too steeply, a lot of the... energy from the club could be wasted down in the ground instead of into the back back of the golf ball? As Titleist staff member Michael Breed explains in this video, the cure is more width in the backswing. By keeping your hands a little farther from your body, you'll get wider and attack the ball on a more shallow angle. The result? More efficient energy transfer and shots that fly higher, carry farther and stop on a dime.

Follow Michael's keys and start hitting the ball farther with less effort.
