Power From The Tip of Your Tongue

Anyone interested in adding an extra 10 - 20 yards to your drivesinstantly?Just follow this quick tip and you'll have to go through and re-do all of your yardages for every club in your bag.

The secret is not some core rotational exercise (although those can be awesome).No, this is so simple that you won't believe it until you try it. It's all about the placement of YOUR TONGUE!

I first learned about the position of the tongue increasing overallstrength while over in India. One of my gurus would explain thatit helped to "complete the circuit" and give him strength andstamina while holding static Yoga poses. Of course it sounded kinda weird, but then again, this dude couldhold a handstand for over an hour! He probably only stopped thereout of boredom. But the guy was definitely onto something.

Now he didn't even know what golf was - but of course I'm ALWAYS relating everything to how it can improve our golf games, so hereit goes -Here's all you have to do: Gently place your tongue up on the roof of your mouth, with the tipresting against the back of your front top teeth. Gently hold it in that position while you swing. This will "close the circuit"...whatever the hell that means. Actually, I do know at least one theory, but let's just keep thisresults-oriented. Let me be clear about this - it should be gentle and subtle. Do NOT focus on it so that it becomes yet another swing thought.

To try this out for yourself, simply go to the range and warm up. Then pick a club and hit 10 ball "without tongue" and note the distance. Then hit 10 ball "with tongue" and compare. Be sure to compare only those shots with similar quality of contact.The chances are very good that you will notice increased distance when you "add a little tongue".
