JORDAN SMITH
Like it or not, golf is now very much a power game. Getting it out there a good distance from the tee is seen as a very significant advantage by nearly all analysts. Yes, you’ve still got to have great touch and sound putting to compete at the highest level, but if you’re hitting shorter clubs in more often, you’re likely to miss fewer greens and hit it closer. Jordan Smith, the 2017 Porsche European Open champion, is one of the new breed of long hitters. “I’d say I’ve always been above average, and it’s always been a strong part of my game,” Smith says. The stats back that up: last year, he averaged over three hundred yards off the tee, which, combined with high levels of driving accuracy (ranked 15th), contributed to 0.7 strokes gained off the tee per round over the field. Here, Smith talks about the keys to generating more power.
