AT THE TOP TRY TO KEEP YOUR LEFT HEEL DOWN
Here is one facet of Rory’s swing, and many pros’ swings for that matter, I know many amateurs struggle to copy. Still, it’s worth working on if you’re interested in picking up distance off the tee. As he reaches the top, his left heel is still planted on the ground ( left ). This enables him to really coil his body, increasing the X-factor potential (the differential between his hip turn and shoulder turn) that really boosts power. It’s fine if your heel comes off the ground – I don’t expect you’d be as mobile as Rory – but the longer you can keep it down, the more power you can generate and store for your downswing. Rory is in position at the top of this swing to hammer the golf ball.
