She starts with a relatively strong grip , which eliminates the need for excessive hand action to square the clubface at impact.

You've probably noticed Karrie's long, pronounced waggle before every swing. I love this because it rehearses a wide takeaway path for the clubhead. This is especially helpful for golfers prone to picking the club up abruptly with the hands on the backswing or taking the club too far inside during the takeaway. A waggle also reduces tension and increases the sense of rhythm necessary for consistency.

Karrie's backswing creates a tremendous windup. At the top, her entire upper body has pivoted behind the ball. She also has turned her shoulders more than 90 degrees, but has retained great leverage by keeping her hands high. This creates an opportunity to generate a lot of clubhead speed, which is why, at 5-foot-6, she averages 255 yards off the tee.

At impact, note how the shaft is still behind the left arm and her head has stayed well behind the ball. This combination creates a shallow blow into the back of the ball with her driver, creating optimum trajectory and maximum distance.
