Nathalie Sheehan uses a split grip drill to create a bigger turn in your backswing. It’s an easy way to hit the driver a little farther.

Will this be applicable for a 3 wood and/or 5 wood?
How does Rohm hit it so far with a short backswing? johnr@pdcgraphics.com
Great tip, thanks Nathalie!
Nathalie love your simple to implement swing tips and drills. If I remember right Rory does something similar to this as well by separating his hands not only in the backswing but while separated taking the trail hand thru impact point creating a full turn feel. Good stuff
This looks like a good tip Natalie. I'm going to try it when I get down to AZ next week. I like the Golf Pass videos because they're effective and only a few minutes long. Thanks!
I like this suggestion. Can you provide any assistance, drills, exercises that would help me maintain good balance in this swing? I have a tendancy to fall back on to the rear foot on the follow through, not maintaining good balance, and therfore swinging up on the ball and topping it.
Thanks Natalie. It's swing break up here in New York. I'll try your tip out at the indoor lounge tomorrow and dream of Florida. My biggest swing thought has always been, "Do I want to hit the ball long, or do I want it to land on the fairway?"
Sounds like a good thing to practice. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
Thanks Nathalie, great tip! This along with extending both arms and keeping my elbows close until waist high on the follow through are parts of my swing I really need to work on. How do you feel about allowing the left arm to bend a little on the back swing (right-handed golfer)?
Thank you for that amazing training exercise. I’m recovering from foot surgery. When I’m well in a couple months I can hardly wait to get to the driving range to give that one a go. Please keep those kind of pointers coming. Regards, Michael Nunez.
