Trust = Power

Let’s face it: we all want to hit the ball further. Being able to hit longer drives gives you less club into the green, making everything that little bit easier. There are many ways you can try and generate more power during your swing, and nearly all of them start from the ground up.

Trust your footwear
Despite his small frame, tour star Rickie Fowler is renowned for his power. As you can see in the three images above, he pushes off from his right foot through impact and relies on great grip and stability to ensure the power his body is creating doesn’t come at the cost of control.

Having a strong base is something we should all aspire for. The FootJoy Tour-S can help you do this thanks to its PowerStrap that enhances support, plus its nine cleats per foot that offer maximum stability across a range of terrains.

Replace your long irons

We want to make this game as easy and as enjoyable as possible for you, so if we had one piece of advice for you it would be to replace your long irons. The further up your irons you go the harder they become to hit, which is why golf brands have a range of fantastic alternative options for you to try…

Powerful and forgiving
If you struggle for consistency with your long irons, this Lynx Parallax hybrid has a larger head size that offers a safety net of forgiveness. Its Power Channel also means it’s a great option off the tee, while its wide sole is perfect for tackling shots from the rough and when chipping from bare or muddy lies.

Shot shaping
If you’ve always found irons easier to hit than woods, this hollow Lynx Prowler VT iron takes all the benefits of an old school driving iron and adds in buckets of modern distance and forgiveness. It can help you hit long and accurate shots off the tee, but it’s also easier to launch than your long irons off the deck.
