Adding Distance Without the Need for Speed
For high-handicap and senior golfers, adding distance without adding club speed can be a safer and more sustainable way to improve your game. The Smart Distance System offers a way to maximize yardage through refined technique and improved swing mechanics, rather than brute force, allowing golfers to enjoy greater distance with reduced injury risk. Watch the video below to see how you can implement this approach, accompanied by a detailed guide below!
Unlocking Hidden Distance Potential
Many senior golfers average club speeds around 70-75 mph, often resulting in drives around 165 yards. However, with the right mechanics, that same speed can potentially yield 200 yards or more. The Smart Distance System focuses on swing adjustments that unlock hidden potential, enabling golfers to add significant distance without the strain of increasing swing speed.
Swing Smarter, Not Harder: The Smart Distance System Steps
Follow these steps to swing more efficiently and gain yardage while reducing the risk of injury:
- Start with Proper Setup
- Align your shoulders slightly to the right of your target.
- Keep your stance relaxed and ensure your weight is evenly distributed.
- Complete Your Backswing
- Focus on making a fuller, more complete backswing with your shoulders.
- Avoid rushing into the downswing—this helps you maintain control and ensures that your swing arc is optimized for power.
- Add a Slight Pause at the Top
- As you reach the top of your backswing, imagine a slight “pause” before transitioning down. This pause helps with sequencing and allows you to start the downswing in a smoother, more controlled manner.
- Swing Out Toward the Target
- Focus on swinging the club out and toward the target, which helps you approach the ball from the inside.
- Avoid cutting across the ball; instead, visualize a path that encourages a gentle inside-out swing, which promotes a draw shot for additional control and distance.
- Keep Shoulders Square at Impact
- As you swing through the ball, keep your shoulders as square as possible to your target.
- Avoid over-rotating or “opening up” too early, as this can reduce power and lead to slicing. Staying square at impact ensures that your clubface is aligned correctly for optimal ball flight.
Practice the Smarter Way to Add Distance & Effortless Power
The Smart Distance System promotes effortless power by refining your swing mechanics. Many golfers who adopt these steps find that their drives gain both distance and consistency. Following this sequence may lead to a smooth, natural feeling in the swing that enhances distance without requiring additional effort.
For high-handicap and senior golfers, the Performance Golf Smart Distance System is an excellent way to add 30+ yards without increasing swing speed. By focusing on sequencing and technique, you can safely maximize distance while lowering the risk of injury. Try these steps to see if this system can help you unlock more power and enjoy longer, more satisfying drives on the course.
