If you are struggling to generate power out, it may be due to one of the three main oscillation errors.

So you are looking for Earn some extra yards from tee? Join the club. There is no single skill in the game more demanding than power with the driver.
Not only the extra power wow your game partners (and give you some rights in the Grill room), but it also makes shooting lower results significantly lighter. As the advanced analytics has told us, the closer you are with the green, the less stroke you will need to come out.
Fitness and speed training It will surely help in your crusade to increase the ball speed, but there is another way to pack some additional notes in your oscillation, and all you need is some major changes of shaking. If you can make your swing a little more efficient, you will see the yard profits without having to visit the gym.
On a last trip to Golftec The headquarters in Englewood, Colo., I got a chance to meet with their quality teaching principal, Josh Troyer. During our conversation, he shared three main oscillation errors he sees students make what costs them to leave Tee.
3 Energy leaks in your swinging
Error 1: Bending too far in the back
When the pros do their backs, they do a great job to stay in their behavior while returning to the top. However with the weekend fighters? Not so much.
“The best players start with about 40 degrees of shoulder flexion in front of the address,” Troyer says. “On top of the back, they are usually only two degrees back from that starting position.”
If you do not maintain your attitude while turning back – and on the contrary get up – makes it much harder to fill a full turn. And when you do this, you will tend to raise your arms (instead of returning) to finish your back. This is a leakage of energy that will cost you thousands of yards outside.
Error 2: Limited Shoulder Return
Error no. 2 runs parallel to the error described above. Golftec data show that the average tournament of the tournament turns their shoulders about 88 degrees closed to the top of the back. But for recreation players, the number is usually in the mid -1970s.
“A smaller twist makes it harder to create power and limits how far your hands can move behind you, which reduces the depth of shaking,” Troyer says.
Want more power? Make sure you are making a full turn on the top of the back.
Error 3: Standing too far from the impact
Ever heard someone suggest you “keep your head down” through influence? As it turns out, this is actually terrible advice.
When Pro Tour Receive through Impact (Axis parallel to Earth), they have bent their shoulders backward about five degrees. In comparison, recreation players are usually still bent forward about five to 10 degrees.
