TRANSCRIPTS
-Hi. I'm Michael Breed, host of the Golf Fix. You're
sending the emails and we're reading the emails. This email
comes to us from Peter Rodriguez and he is in
San Juan, Puerto Rico. My downswing at times lacks the
energy to hit the ball farther. I have been told
that my left lead arm needs to be as straight
as possible when striking the ball. I am 60 and
I've seen older folks hitting the ball much farther. Any
drills? Yes, Peter. Absolutely and if your left lead arm
isn't straight, that means that your body isn't moving at
all, so what you've got going on is you got
a swing that's all arms going like this and then
you're going across like this so you're just waving your
arms back and through across your body like this and
the ball is not gonna go anywhere. It's just like
throwing a ball. When I stand up here and I
throw this ball I'm not gonna throw the ball into
the net without moving my body so I would never
go like this. It's clumsy and the ball is not
gonna go very far. What I wanna do is I
wanna rotate my body like this and then throw the
ball that way. That's gonna allow my arm to have
some extension and the ball is gonna go very far
because I'm gonna have a chance to move my arm
faster. Here, I can't move it very fast. The club
head is no different. We want the body to control
the club and the body has to rotate so what
I want you to do is this. I want you
to take your left foot, okay, because you're a right-handed
player. I want you to take your left foot and
I want you to just rotate it open a little
bit and then I want you to feel like you're
gonna take your belt buckle and spin your belt buckle
so that it's facing the target like that and when
I spin my belt buckle and face the target like
that, now all of a sudden my arms are gonna
have some length to them, alright? This is gonna look
like this so that left foot is out like that,
rotate and now my arms have a real length of
going through that shot and I know that that's gonna
help you with your game. What also is gonna help
you with your game, well is more tips and information
and I can give to you and all you have
to do is go to golfchannel.com/the-golf-fix and they're waiting for
you. It's all the information that's gonna help you play
better golf. And another thing you can do is you
can watch us every Monday night, 7 and 10 pm
Eastern. It's called the Golf Fix. I'm Michael Breed and
we're here to help you play better golf.
