Specifically, Force Follow Draw can be used to apply benefits of a draw stroke. But this one will "dig into" object ball more and as a result will move cue ball out and away from object ball before it starts to draw back.

There are many uses for such a shot. The Obvious is to gain specific position, but a second use is to gain spin-around type shot where you are shooting straight in on an object ball directly in front of a hole. This shot can easily result in a scratch as cue ball follows to object ball right into hole.

You achieve a Force Follow using same stroke you would use for a draw. The difference is, your target on object ball is a tip ABOVE equator of cue ball, not a cue tip BELOW.

Execution is exactly same as a draw stroke by snapping cue through cue ball withy a quick flick of wrist.

Golf swing power is result of three specific factors. Two out of three are much more important, but third does have a bearing on outcome of how far you hit that ball.

The first and probably most evident of three is your swing mechanics. I bet you are not surprised by this one.

The second one is probably least recognized of three, but for many is “key” to longer drives and category that is given least amount of attention. Number two is what we term golf strength. This is defined as how well your body is conditioned (i.e. fitness) to swing a golf club with maximum power. Probably least understood of three, and maybe most needed by golfers in general. We will talk more about this later. Let us move on to number three in regards to power for your drives.

Number three is your equipment. Yes, equipment does make a difference in how far you drive ball. The equipment manufacturers have let this fact be known, and I bet we all have gone to pro shop probably more than twice to pick up a new driver that claims to give us another 20 yards on every drive. That extra 20 yards might not be down middle of fairway, but it will give you an extra 20 yards… could be left, could be right, or could be in center of fairway. That all depends on points one and two of this article. Equipment and technological advances have definitely lengthened distance of our drives. But without better swing mechanics and your body in better golf shape, new technology will not help your game. A bad swing will produce a bad result, regardless of what type of “new” driver you may have just purchased.

Swing Mechanics

I think all of us are aware of how important mechanics of a swing are when it comes to driving ball down fairway. It is essential, if you are over top with your swing or come inside too much, you’ll see that dreaded slice or snap hook. The drives will be short, too low, too high, left, right, or a combination of these if you are putting bad swings on ball.

It is essential for a golfer to work on mechanics of their swing, week in and week out, to improve their game. If it weren’t important why would all these tour players have swing coaches that work with them on a consistent basis? The golf swing is such a finite, mechanically complex movement, that requires constant work to keep it highly efficient and in check.

One of most common mistakes I see amateurs make is probably a lack of instruction. I see amateurs over and over at driving ranges, week in and week out, pounding balls without any improvement. This, I feel, is a result of one of two things: 1) a lack of instruction or 2) low levels of golf strength. A lack of instruction leads to development and ingraining of improper swing mechanics. This only results in slices, hooks, topping ball, and hitting it fat on course. And we all know that those types of swings lead to frustration and bad rounds of golf. I would suggest to most anyone to find a good instructor and take lessons on a consistent basis. This can only help your game in long run. Now moving on second point of how to achieve powerful drives and that is golf strength.
