Power Factors of Golf – One That Is Often Overlooked
There have been numerous articles and books written on the “power factors” of golf. Most of them focus on club head speed, club head lag, swing path, etc. But if you do not hit the ball in the sweet spot of the club all the other factors will be partially negated.

Below is a video by Hank Haney with a drill you may find useful to help you consistently hit the ball in the sweet spot. Take a look and see if it helps.
