Hit the Ball 15 Yards
Farther!
If you'd like to increase your golf drives by
about 15 yards, just get some custom-made orthotics that you wear
with your regular shoes, and wear them every day for six weeks.
That's the finding of a recent study
by researchers at the Northwestern College of Chiropractic in
Bloomington, Minnesota, who measured the club head speed of 12
experienced golfers. Then they had the golfers wear custom made
orthotic devices for six weeks, and re-measured the club head
velocity.
The second time, the club head was moving 5
mph faster than at the start of the study. The researchers estimate
that the increase would amount to 15 yards on the average drive.
