Hit Longer Drives by Breaking Down the Wall

Video Transcript

"This segment is on long drives and it's the swing thought that has helped me, as well as a lot of my students, hit the ball longer. And that is to visualize a wall right here and a sledge hammer. And what you want to do is to take this sledge hammer and boom, bang down that wall. That gives you a lot of things. First of all, when you bring a sledge hammer back, you're not going to go like this, you're going to start feeling strong. You're going to bring it back and you're going to use that speed of the sledge hammer to hit that wall, boom, from behind the wall. Staying behind it. You're not going to go like this. It gives you timing. It gives you powerful timing. So I'm going to hit these balls and I'll show you what I mean. The wall is right here. OK Jay, you have a sledge hammer, there's the wall, break down that wall. That was a pretty well hit drive right there. Come on Jay, come on, hit that wall harder, there's the wall, here's your sledge hammer, there's the wall, take that sledge hammer, break that wall. It makes it a little more difficult when you're saying it as opposed to just thinking it but I'm going to do it again. Sledge hammer, wall, come on, there's the wall, come on Jay, break down that wall. Sledge hammer, break it! That was a well hit drive. Remember, you think of swing thoughts during your swing and a good long drive swing thought that will get you to wind up well, use your hands correctly, release right into the wall with powerful timing. Break down the wall with a sledge hammer."
