Turn fully to hit it further

Top 25 Coach Paul Foston says that maximum rotation is the key to more power off the tee

RAISE THE LEFT HEEL

When you raise the left heel, especially as you get a bit older, it can assist hip rotation and help you fully complete your backswing. Look at Matthew Wolff – his left heel is way off the ground. When you then plant it back down, it will allow you to use the ground more to generate power as you drive towards the target.

BALANCE

You might not be going at it flat-out all the time, but in theory, if you’re hitting driver, you’re looking to get it out there as far as possible. If you don’t want to do that, you should switch down a club! But you must stay in balance. You can hit the ball as hard or as soft as you like as long as you’re in balance.
