Young prefers a draw for extra distance and gets it by making sure his clubface is slightly closed (pointing left) of his inside-out swing path at impact. That closure comes from body rotation, not supination of the left forearm. “It's much easier to repeat. It doesn’t require the split-second timing you need if you're trying to close the clubface with your arms,” he says. KEEP TURNING, BUT STAY BEHIND THE BALL TO LAUNCH IT +
If you return to the photo that opened this article, you can see that Young, who is 1.8 metres, 84 kilograms, is delivering the full mass of his body into the strike. Here, his right shoulder is key, as it moves downwards ( above ) while his torso falls away from the target. This allows the club to launch the ball high with less backspin – two things you'll need to do to make this your longest year ever!
