Martin Hall here with Five Star Golf mats. I'm on the Residential Mat and I want to talk about something we all want to do: want to smash it. Hit it miles down the fairway. How are we going to do that? We're going to lean on it to launch it. Now, the Residential Mat is pre-punch with tee holes on either side, so putting the tee's in is nice and easy to do. Don't have to worry about anything there. Let's get to the tip – let's talk about what we can do to launch the ball. 
 
Modern science definitely proves that hitting up at the ball with a couple of the things in place can absolutely help you launch the ball farther. So I say lean on it to launch it. Now, the Residential Mat – the tee holes are punched, so it's easy to get the tees in. And here's the tip: I want to give you a tip that will guarantee you've got this what I call secondary axis tilt. This tilt to the side where the trail side is low. It's simple but it really works. So having set up, your head might be behind the ball some, but we're going to lean on it. 
 
How are we going to lean on it? Take your trail hand, put it behind your leg, reach down until you touch the back of your knee. Do you see how that leans my body. Reach down, pull the trail foot back a bit, I am now leaning on it to launch it. Most accurate – absolutely not. Most powerful? Very definitely. So, I'm going to lean on it to launch it. Normal setup – adjustment coming – trail foot back, trail hand down behind trail leg. I am ready for launch. Here we go! I would take that every single time. Now that is going to help you.
