You can’t alter the rules of physics. But you can use the rules surrounding those external forces to effectively multiply the effort you put into your swing. In the next of our series of swing subject Dives, The User’s Guide to Ground Forces will give you…..

New Rock Hill teaching professional Kyle Brey comes to Long Island with an extensive track record of playing success.
