Need Distance? Use Your Big Muscles

Golf Digest Top 50 Teacher Trillium Rose shows how to increase speed and distance using the engine of your swing.

In the theme of increasing your distance and maximizing what you already have (glutes and the ability to rotate your pelvis), here’s a simple way to practice the move.

I’ve titled this “need distance” because increasing your speed generally helps. Here I’m not focusing on increasing speed of the club, hands or arms, but rather the engine of your swing – the biggest muscles in your body: your glutes. And by rotating them effectively, you’ll increase your speed and that effects the rest of your swing.

How do we go about rotating our pelvis?

  • Take your set up position with a neutral spine and pelvis tipped in a forward bend.
  • Use your lead arm to balance and hold your torso in that same forward bend
  • Take the free hand to simultaneously push and rotate your pelvis toward the target. Use this opportunity to feel the stretch.
