⛳ Why Distance Matters in Golf

Whether you’re a weekend player or a serious golfer, adding extra distance to your shots can completely transform your game. More distance means shorter approach shots, easier birdie chances, and lower scores.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to swing harder to hit the ball farther — you just need to swing smarter.

💪 The “Step Drill” — The Secret to More Power

This drill trains your body to generate power through proper weight transfer — not by muscling the ball.

🧠 How It Works

The Step Drill teaches you to shift your weight naturally from your back foot to your front foot during the downswing. This mimics what top pros do for effortless power.

🏌️‍♀️ How to Do the Step Drill

1️⃣ Setup

• Start with a mid-iron (like a 7-iron).
• Take your normal golf stance.
• Place your feet together, ball in the middle.

2️⃣ The Move

• As you start your backswing, let your lead foot (left foot for right-handers) lift slightly off the ground.
• When you start your downswing, step forward with that lead foot and swing through.

3️⃣ The Feel

You should feel your body weight naturally shifting toward the target — giving you that powerful, compressed contact.

🧩 What It Improves

✅ Better weight transfer
✅ Improved balance and timing
✅ Faster swing speed
✅ Solid contact and straighter shots

🔥 Pro Tip

Practice this drill for 10 minutes before every range session. Once you feel the rhythm, go back to your normal stance and notice how much smoother and more powerful your swing feels.

💬 Final Thoughts

Adding distance to every club isn’t about brute strength — it’s about efficient movement. The Step Drill helps you train that movement until it becomes second nature.

So, next time you’re at the range, try this powerful drill — and watch those extra yards show up on every shot.
