Tip of the week - “How can I hit it further?” One of the most talked about subjects amongst golfers. With launch monitors being so widely used we are more aware of our clubhead speed, spin rates, launch angles etc. but what influences these factors and how can you change/improve them? Firstly, what golf ball are you using? This plays a far bigger part than most golfers realise. For example, if you are swinging the club at 80 MPH with a driver you should not be using a premium ball like Pro V1, but instead something like a Tour Soft. Secondly, what about your driver? Is it right for you? Do you know what you should be using in terms of specification? And lastly, technique. The late great John Jacobs once answered the question of “how can I hit it further” by saying “simply swing it better”, that is to say improve your technique.
