more power

Admit it. There’s nothing better than launching one from the tee box. In fact, it’s one of the highlights of playing golf—especially if the shot lands in the middle of the fairway. So it’s understandable when a golfer amps up his or her golf swing trying to hit one long and straight off the tee.

But swinging harder doesn’t get the job done. It just throws your golf swing completely out of whack. That causes you to block your shot right, pull it dead left, or otherwise mis-hit the ball. That gets you in trouble right off the tee, which can cost you strokes.
