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
