How To Break 80 : Golf

What's the Secret to Hitting Longer Drives? The "secret" I'm about to tell you is simple, but it took me a LONG time to figure it out how to do it. This is hard-earned wisdom - from one golfer to another.

When I started working on increasing my own distance I was focused on the problem itself: How to hit the ball harder.

That makes sense, right?

But what I found is that when it comes to the golf swing, you can't overcome the laws of physics OR the fundamental realities of biomechanics. You have to work with them.

Taking a swing that isn't built for distance and intensifying that swing will not lead to more distance. It only leads to tension, and tension kills swing speed.

The real "ah-ha!" moment came for me when I realized


It's about Swinging Faster, not Harder. That one simple shift in thinking -- not harder, but faster -- changed my focus, took me in a brand new direction, and ultimately had a major effect on my long-term success as a competitive golfer, Long Drive Professioinal, and PGA Professional.

I focused on getting the clubhead through the ball a lot faster, and I learned that it's actually an easy "fix" once you know the keys. The problem was, I had to learn the keys the hard way. Thanks to this book, you don't have to.

This book represents the distillation of everything I have learned: the swing mechanics, the physics, the biomechanics, the mental approach, the practice routines, the drills, and even the learning process. Everything that I use myself and everything I teach my students. The lessons I've learned the hard way are now being used by my students with remarkable results. That's why I know they'll work for you.

So now you know:

THE SECRET TO HITTING LONGER DRIVES IS SPEED.

But knowing that speed is the answer is not enough. Anybody can tell you what to do (and they usually do!).

You need to know HOW to generate speed every time you tee it up. And THAT"S the beauty of this book, and where other golf books so often fall short.

THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO SHOWING YOU HOW TO LEARN to generate more clubhead speed AND hit the ball more squarely, at the right launch angle. With The 5 Keys to Distance you'll know exactly how to accomplish that.

In fact, The WHAT can be boiled down to 5 key swing concepts, and I am going to tell you what they are. Right now.

The 5 KEYS TO DISTANCE can be summarized by the acronym B.L.A.S.T. Here is what the letters stand for: B = Balance
L = Leverage
A = Arc of your swing
S = Speed of your hips
T = Target extension
