How to hit a Golf ball to travel far like Tiger Woods secret is out
If you were to ask Tiger Woods you will not get an answer unless you are a hot blond. Regardless of Tigers personal life; he is one of the best Golfer the game has seen. He was born to play golf but it’s the way he plays that makes the difference.
When Tiger Woods hits the ball it goes very far, although he can pick a distance at will, this article will only cover how to get the ball to travel far.
The experts will tell you it’s the spin of a flying golf ball that affects how straight and far it will go. This was first discovered in 1887 by British scientist P. G. Tait. He was taught in his youth that "all spin is detrimental," so he worked very hard at developing a golf swing that would produce very little spin on the ball. Then he started experimenting with golf balls, attaching string to them and having different people hit them. He discovered that a ball spinning quickly on a horizontal axis—with the top of the ball spinning toward the golfer—actually stays in the air longer than a ball with little or no spin. (As for his golf game, he said: "I understand it now, too late by 35 years at least.")
Here's how it works. A spinning golf ball creates the aerodynamic force called lift—the same as an airplane. This is because of a law of physics known as the Bernoulli Principle (named after Daniel Bernoulli, who discovered it in 1738), which says that when the speed of a fluid, liquid, or gas increases, its pressure decreases. Simply put: a golf ball with backspin is inducing the air it meets to pass more quickly over its top than its bottom—meaning there will be less air pressure above it and more below it. Result: lift.
Spin also affects the ball when it lands. Getting back to the difference between the driver and the iron: an iron's glancing contact produces more spin than a driver's square contact. In driving, you don't want the backspin—you want the ball to roll when it hits the ground. With irons, especially highly lofted ones, you want a lot of spin to create lift and to keep the ball from rolling when it lands.
So now you know how Tiger does it, just make sure the aerodynamics are right and your golf game should get a much needed boast.
In the next article next week i'll cover how to HOOKS AND SLICES the ball to get the results you want.
