It seems to be in-built to every golfer that golf driving distance is the most important part of the game and while I have doubts about that I do understand the desire to hit a golf ball longer and deeper.
Every golfer wants to increase their golf driving distance, it's a terrific thrill to see your ball flying down the fairway. Possibly an even better thrill is out driving your playing partners, it's a human condition to be the best.
The golf drive is one of the most discussed aspects of the sport and for the producers of golf clubs, a highly profitable one. It almost seems as though a new driver, promising extra yards, straighter drives and more power is released every week.
Tiger Woods is almost certainly the worlds greatest ever golfer but even if you swopped his Nike clubs for a cheap set of irons from Walmart he would still be number one. The average golfer will not get any significant increase in their golf distance just by purchasing a new set of clubs.
If new clubs are not the answer, then what is? The fastest, and dare I say it? the cheapest way to gain a measurable improvement in how far you can hit a golf ball is by improving your driving ability.
I know that buying a golf instruction program and actually practicing is not as glamorous as a new $450 driver but it will pay you back with dividends. So for starters
here are three tips to increase your driving distance.
Tip One: Practice your set up, you can do this without a ball or even a club, just take the time to find the balance within you. Take your stance as though you are about to take a shot and then mentally go through your body and become aware of where your center of gravity is. A powerful drive needs a firm foundation and so your balance must be right.
Tip Two: Hover your driver behind your ball. If you allow the club head to rest upon the ground at set-up the first thing that you will do is tense your forearms as you begin the takeaway. If you hover the driver you have already taken the weight and you will draw the club back more smoothly.
Tip Three: A recurring theme of mine is "Do not hit the ball!". This ludicrous sounding statement is a matter of focus. By putting your focus on hitting the ball you are losing huge amounts of power to your golf swing because your brain will cause you to slow down just when you should be speeding up. Concentrate on allowing your arms, body and legs to turn completely to a balanced finish position and this will let you maximize the power of your drive through the ball.
I hope these few tips will help you to get your maximum golf driver distance and make you a longer and more accurate golfer.
