The Whoosher Drill
As you will see in the attached video, you simply turn the club upside down and grip the shaft near the head. For maximum effect grip the club with you left hand first and then place your right hand over your left so that your right thumb is NOT on the shaft. Hold the club lightly and swing it fast enough so that the grip will make a whooshing sound. The idea is for the sound to be the loudest slightly past where the ball would be. This indicates that the club head is still accelerating through the impact point.
This will help you develop more club head speed and easily add 15 yards or more to your shots.
Other Benefits
Learning to do this successfully will also help greatly in eliminating fat and thin or bladed shots. The primary cause of these shots is early release causing the club head to pass the hands prior to impact.
As you get more comfortable with it you can go to a more comfortable grip as long as the sound still happens past the impact point. Working on this will, in most cases, help you to improve your grip.
It is important to remember that it doesn't matter whether you use a overlap, interlock, or ten finger grip as long as the sound is in the right place.
