Jim Waldron: Speed Drills with Martin Chuck

Xtreme Long Drive Champion Jim Waldron and PGA coach Martin Chuck take you through the drills they use to maximize speed for Jim heading into competition.

High Launch and Low Spin

To get the most out of your drive, you need a high launch and low spin. Use this drill to really feel what hitting up on the ball with your driver means.

Centered Strike Challenge

Can you hit the center of your driver? This simple drill will help you focus on the contact point. The best way to see where you hit the ball on the face of your club is to test it! Spray a little Dr. Scholls on your driver to see exactly where the ball is making contact.

Wide Lead Arm

Throwing a frisbee illustrates exactly what the best players in the world do in their backswing. Use this drill to increase your width and maximize your speed.

Lead Shoulder Down

Getting your lead shoulder down and taking on some side bend is a great way to improve your delivery.

The Step Drill

This drill is the cornerstone for building speed. The Step Drill will help you get your momentum working through the ball to maximize your distance.

Find Your Ceiling

Once you've reached your cruising speed, you have to go beyond your top speed. Use the ground and really stomp on it to give it everything you've got.
