Power Leakage

When it come to getting long straight drives, most average golfers
have one key stumbling block... POWER LEAKAGE. I'm talking about getting "disconnected" from your swing.

You see, most golfers get too eager to hit the ball with the clubhead.
The result is that the wrists breakdown near impact (something the
pros call "throw-away" or leakage). Essentially you've taken a long
lever (your club shaft and arm), and turned it into a weak shorter lever
by breaking your wrists.

So if you don't have a FLAT left wrist and bent right wrist at impact, you
are "throwing" the clubhead at the ball... leaking power... and hitting
weak, inconsistent drives.

Here's a tip: Train your hands where they need to be at impact with
a "one-hand chip shot". Using your right hand only grip the club and
use your pivot to take the club back. As you downswing the clubhead
will naturally "lag" behind. This is a great drill to do in the back yard
with plastic practice balls and it forces you to keep you right wrist
bent at impact.
