In the sport of golf, people have to work on certain aspects of their game in order for them to make progress.
In the sport of football, the players lift weights in order for them to compete at the highest level.
In baseball, they work on becoming quicker and more agile through agility exercises.
In track, the same applies and the runners have the goal of becoming faster.
In golf, the main objective is manipulating the golf swing and the ball in order to make the hole in as few strokes as possible.
Golfers learn how to, over time, increase their swing power so that they can make holes in less strokes.
For example, a golfer that normally makes a par four hole in an albatross will soon be able to make the same par hole with better results such as an eagle, or in desirable cases maybe they might be able to improve to a bogey of some sorts.
Many of the best players in golf have very different looking golf swings, but the best of the best have two things in common.
Good players retain wrist-cock through the impact zone, as well as maintain a strong solid base during the hitting area.
These two areas of the golf swing set the good player apart from the high-handicapper.
A key component of increasing the swing power is to show strong base upon impact.
To create power during a golf swing, golfers need to have a solid base as they strike the ball.
In all sports, a solid base creates power.
One should make sure that one has proper wrist cock, maintains lag, and increases power.
To create lag, the left wrist needs to be bowed upon impact allowing the hands to be slightly ahead of the ball upon impact.
This causes a late hit, or "lag," which all good players use to create the power in their golf swings.
High-handicapper golfers tend to do the opposite by releasing the hands early instead of having the hands ahead of the ball upon impact.
They collapse the left wrist causing the club head to move past the hands before impact.
This scooping action creates a tremendous loss of power resulting in loss of distance with the driver and miss-hits with the irons.
To create a late hit, your hands need to arrive at impact before the club head.
The best way to achieve this position is to practice hitting balls with a heavy club.
Once golfers assume power, they must take careful measure not to overuse their abilities.
This may result in long and undesirable shots that produce undesirable results will usually have the golfer hitting from a hazard or accepting a penalty.
Also, practice has to be consistent throughout a golfer's game.
It is recommended that the golfer consistently pay attention to details and make consistent trips to the driving range for practice.
At the driving range, there would be professionals there in order to assist golfers maintain and keep up their work.
All amateur golfers should consider this as they aim to improve their swing power.
