How to get more driver distance
The key to hitting a golf ball a long
way is minimizing your hip turn
and maximizing your shoulder
turn, this means that he body coils and when released generates power. The way to
accomplish this is to make sure
that your left knee doesn't slide to
the right on the back swing and
that the right knee stays firm and
flexed throughout. (right-handed players.) Also, get
your shoulder behind the ball at
the top of the back swing. This
ensures good weight shift and
allows for a longer swing.
To make sure the above happens at address, keep most of your weight on right foot and widen your stance, with toes pointed out.
Tee the ball high so that it can be hit with an ascending blow.
Waggle to relax muscles and rehearse hinging of
right wrist, use a strong grip (the way you position your hands on the club not how tight you hold it) and light grip pressure.
Make a wide arc and strive for maximum extension to maximize coil and get left shoulder and hip behind
ball on back swing, to maximize coil, don’t lift left foot on back swing.
Hinge wrists fully at top of back swing, you should be able to balance some books on your wrists if you have hinged correctly.
Don’t let your left arm bend at the top of the back swing.
Try to generate maximum club head speed when the club head
passes the ball, not at or before impact.
Keep head and upper body behind ball throughout swing and try to keep your right heel on the ground longer on downswing to
help keep your body back.
When taking the club back take it back slow an along the ground keeping in on line for as long as possible
