Anthony Kim has reestablished himself at the top of the professional game after winning LIV Golf Adelaide two weeks ago.

Kim‘s return to prominence has been one of the best comeback stories in the history of the sport.

And his exceptional driving has been the cornerstone of his recent improvements on LIV Golf.

The professional golf world reacted in unison with delight when Kim returned to the winners’ circle in Adelaide earlier this month.

He has battled back from an incredibly low point – an extremely prolonged one at that – in his life over the past decade or so.

Now he’s reaping the rewards for all of his hard work, and any amateur looking to improve their driving should take a look at the tips he has just provided

Anthony Kim says ‘choke up’ and shorten the backswing

When speaking to GOLF.com, Kim outlined three key tips which should help amateur golfers instantly improve the accuracy of their driving.

Tip No. 1: Choke up

“The most obvious quirk in my technique is that I choke way up on the grip — about two full inches,” he said.

“And I choke up with every club in the bag. I started doing this out of necessity: I have a short torso and long arms, and if I took a “normal” grip I’d be too far away from the ball.

“Over the years, however, I noticed that the choke gave me more control — especially with the driver — and I’ve never looked back.

“Since the choke automatically makes the club shorter, | sacrifice some distance. But it’s less than you think — 10 yards at the most (and I still average 300 yards off the tee). So I have to hit 7-iron into the green instead of an 8-iron. Big deal.

“I’d take a longer iron from the fairway than a shorter one from the rough any day.“

Tip No. 2: Shorten the backswing

“Whenever I’m playing in a pro-am, I’m amazed at the length of most amateurs’ swings — it’s like they’ve spent three months at the John Daly School of Driving,“ Kim joked.

“Over-swinging is a death move for me. I can get away with swinging the club to parallel and beyond from time to time, but on Tour, time to time means a string of missed cuts.

“I’m more comfortable making a three-quarter backswing, with my hand stopping at shoulder height and my club way short of parallel. I knew from an early age that I wouldn’t be able to generate power with my arms alone on account of my size, so I don’t swing them back as far.

“Instead, I focus on turning my upper body as much as possible and keeping my legs stable, like I’m holding my hips back. So even though my arm swing is short, I’ve built up resistance between my upper and lower body, and that’s where my swing power comes from.“

Anthony Kim’s secret ‘squat’ to help hit more fairways

Kim’s final tip revolves around lowering your center of gravity to help build stability in your golf swing.

Tip No. 3: Squat down

“When you swing down from the top using only your arms, it’s easy to get off plane,“ Kim said.

“The secret to swinging on plane and with power is in your legs.

“I start my downswing with my lower body, which pulls my arms into action. I feel like I’m pushing my body into the ground, making a strong connection between my feet and the turf. As I do this, my arms fall naturally, with my left arm hanging close to my chest.

“After sitting down, I turn as fast as I can through impact, using the ground as leverage and getting my weight over my left foot.

“It’s a burst of energy at the bottom of my swing, which is why when I lift weights I only do ‘explosion’ exercises, not high-repetition sets. You only need to be fast through impact.“

If you put all of these tips into practice, you too could start hitting more fairways just like Anthony Kim.
