Alpha Golf Reveals Long Drive Secrets

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Helping to put more distance in golf, Alpha Golf proudly announces a new series of Long Drive Swing Tips from the players that know the most about hitting long drives - the tour-winning Alpha Golf Long Drive Team.

More than a half-dozen past and present RE/MAX World Long Drive champions - power hitters such as Carl Wolter, Danny Luirette, Mike Gorton, Eric Jones and Pat Dempsey - and dozens more have joined the Alpha Team to compete in a sport most often won by feet and inches, rather than yards. Just a few weeks ago, the Alpha Team converged at the 2004 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship and won two championship titles. Now, the Alpha Team is revealing the secrets of how to hit unbelievably long drives.

First off the tee, 2004 Long Drivers of America Tour Senior Rookie of the Year Eric Jones offers up the first Long Drive tip in the Alpha Series.

"Swing stronger, not harder" says Jones, who is also 2003 RE/MAX Senior World Long Drive Champion. "When you try to hit the ball harder, you create tension in the hands and arms, and that tension actually slows down the swing. You wind up making an arm swing, and you don't use the most powerful muscles in the body. Instead, think Œswing stronger' and focus on activating the large muscles of the legs and back. Swinging stronger will keep the hands and arms relatively tension-free, and you will make a faster turn while holding clubhead lag until the point of impact. The result will be more distance and greater accuracy off the tee."

Jones can be seen demonstrating this tip on ESPN's show "Power Golf ­ the 2004 Pinnacle LDA Tour." Jones can also be seen using his Alpha Golf C830.2 driver to defend his World Long Drive Champion title on ESPN this December 25th at 3pm EST.
