Generating Power in Golf: How Jon Rahm Maximizes Distance with Setup, Swing & Ground Force
Jon Rahm boosts distance by striking higher on the driver, using ground force, and swinging upward with speed and balance. Learn the keys to his power setup.
Key Points
- Hit the center of the clubface, ideally slightly higher on the driver to reduce spin and increase distance.
- Ball position: Forward in stance, near the left foot, to support an upward strike.
Set up with power in mind:
• Feet wide apart
• Torso tilted back
• Tee the ball high to encourage launch- Swing upward through the ball — not down — for more carry and less spin
- Speed comes from the body, not just the arms.
Use ground reaction force:
• Push into the ground
• Rotate the hips
• Use a flatter swing arc- Jon Rahm combines all these elements to create a powerful, efficient, and repeatable swing
