Master Vertical Force in Golf: A Simple Drill with Big Results

Mastering Lead Smash with the Force Board Pro

Introduction:

Generating power in your golf swing begins from the ground up. With the SuperSpeed Force Board Pro, players can enhance their ground reaction forces to achieve better results on the course. Today, we’re diving into the Lead Smash Drill, which focuses on maximizing vertical force in the downswing.

Why Vertical Force Matters:

Vertical force is one of three critical ground reaction forces—alongside lateral and rotational forces. By targeting vertical force, golfers can improve their power and efficiency in the downswing. The Lead Smash Drill ensures you’re timing and applying this force correctly.

Drill Setup and Execution:

1. Position the Force Board Pro: Place the red tricircle attachment under the ball of your lead foot.

2. Focus on Transition Timing: As you finish your backswing, transition into the downswing by applying pressure to the tricircle. Think of smashing it flat to maximize force.

3. Practice Repetitions: Start with practice swings to get a feel for the motion before progressing to hitting shots. Aim for consistent timing and powerful pushes.

Pro Tip: If you tend to early extend, focus on feeling a slight “fall away” from the ball during the downswing. 

Benefits of the Lead Smash Drill:

Enhanced Vertical Force: Improve the power you generate from the ground.

Better Timing: Learn to apply force at the optimal moment during your swing.

Consistency: The Force Board Pro’s design keeps attachments stable, allowing you to focus on perfecting your movements.

Conclusion:

The Lead Smash Drill is a game-changer for golfers aiming to boost their vertical force and overall swing power. With the Force Board Pro, you can train smarter and see results faster. Ready to take your game to the next level? Start smashing!
