Phil Mickelson reveals his top tips on hitting bombs in 2021
Phil Mickelson had a few useful tips for golf fans that were hoping to make 2021 "the year of hitting bombs".
Phil Mickelson has started his preperations for 2021 after enjoying some time off over Christmas and the golf legend has some fantastic tips for anyone out there who is looking to hit bombs off the tee this year.
Lefty provided his first update on December 28 where he was hitting a drive in his back garden (yes his back garden is long enough for him to use his driver) to see where his speed was at after a few weeks off.
After ripping a ball off the tee, Mickelson checked his speeds using a Foresight Sports launch monitor as well as a Trackman and the 50-year-old wasn't too pleased with the results but expected to see a slight drop.
In his latest video, we were treated to some extremely useful tips about how to improve physically in order to hit longer drives, while Mickelson also speaks about longevity and the importance of training certain muscle groups.

Mickelson's latest speed test showed some pretty impressive results, with 181mph ball speed combined with 125mph clubhead speed, resulting in a huge carry of 345 yards, not bad for someone who has now featured on the PGA Champions Tour.
Seeing how Mickelson has transformed his body over the past few years has been really interesting to watch. It wasn't that long ago that Mickelson admitted to being and feeling out of shape and he then started a physical journey to ensure that his time on the PGA Tour wouldn't be cut short as he entered his later years.
The five-time major champion returns to action on the PGA Tour at The American Express on January 21 in California and it looks like he will continue his quest to hit bombs in 2021.
