What is really the best way to hit a golfdrive?
Well, believe it or not it has to do with leverage. As with many parts of this great game it has to do not so much with what you are thinking but rather the law of physics. By using the levers of the club and the body you can hit better, straigther and longer, but How?
The first and foremost rule is not to thinking of hitting the golfball but rather swining the club from one point to another. In the middle of this road lies a golfball, that you are going to carry with you. By doing what we normally do, namely trying to hit the ball, we are setting the mind for the golf ball being the end of the swing. So next time think of the total swing and hit the ball half way through.
The other important piece of advice concerns the way we think. When I tell you the classic “Don´t think of a pink elephant” what did you just think of? RIGHT! The mind tries to do what you are thinking of and cant understand the word DON´T. This means that when you focus on the negatives “I shall NOT hit the water”, “I must NOT get into the bunker” The mind is a bit dumb and tries to hit the water or the bunker. Instead think of where your landing area that you WANT to hit and it´s a totally different game.
