Be sure that your weighted club has the same weight distribution as your regular clubs, particularly if you are using it in the winter to perfect your swing. A weighted club head cover will do the trick if your intent is simply to get loose before you play your round, but it is useless for anything else.

Work on generating more club head speed with your weighted club, and your golf ball will go further. Try accentuating your pronation just before the club reaches the bottom of the swing to add speed to your swing.

Build the muscles that will help your golf swing the most. You will find that using a weighted club frequently will strengthen your abdomen, leading to faster club head speed and greater distance with all of your clubs.

Use your weighted club to stretch your muscles. You will find that, by using it, you will be able to take the club back further than normal. And overall, your agility will improve.

Swing your weighted club slowly, because you will risk injury by swinging fast. Think of a baseball player swinging a heavy bat before coming to the plate. He realizes that a fast swing is not necessary to get loose.

Swing your weighted club back and forth without stopping for sixty seconds. You’ll probably swing the club 50 time, or so, and that’s far more than the number of balls you’d hit on the range. Try this three times, with a two minute rest period following each, and you will feel all of the muscles you will use to swing the club.

Use your weighted club to improve your short game. You will be less inclined to help the ball into the air, and you will most likely finish your stroke rather than guide the ball.
