Golf TIP. Great distance comes with great COIL
COIL drill
Want to see more power in your drives and iron shots? Well the key ingredient is making a good and full shoulder turn with minimal hip rotation. In the golf world this is called the “X” factor. A proper turn should have about 45 degrees of hip turn and about 90 degrees of shoulder turn in the back swing. If your tiger, your looking at more of about 40 degrees hip turn and about 100 to 110 degrees of shoulder turn. I don’t know if that’s exact but it must be close.
A good drill to incorporate this massive turn into your golf swing is right around the corner, keep reading. With a club in your hand (preferably a driver), grab the club so that it is parallel with the ground. Hold it so that it looks like your going to lay it flat on a table. Take your perfect golf stance and with the club still in your hands, take your backswing and focus on making a good shoulder turn and laying that club on the imaginary table. If you have made a bad shoulder turn then there will be no angle in your back. A good way to see if you are doing this is to make swings in front of a mirror. When you swing back, you should see your left should over your right knee and if you were to draw a line on your back, it would be angled. In another words, the angle your back creates is NOT straight up and down. Try this drill over and over again till you can do it in your real swing. You’ll be hitting drives right past those buddy’s your play with.
