When attempting to increase the distance of your drives, you should consider turning your focus to your technique. Hitting the ball well is going to be determined by many different factors, some even outside of your control. Examine your swing, focusing on elements such as your grip, feet placement, and alignment. Pinpoint several key areas where you can make a slight adjustment that will provide a large increase in your results.
Pay attention to your feet. This is one of the key driving tips. The goal is to balance your body well for driving the ball far with accuracy. Focus on placing your feet slightly wider. With proper alignment and balance you can hit the ball further with less exerted power.
The next focal point is the grip. Do not grip the club too tightly. Use a confident, relaxed grip. There is quick way to determine if your grip is too tight. Can the club turn easily in your hands? If yes, your grip is good. Driving the ball accurately is going to be a result of a proper grip. If your grip is too strong, it will throw off your accuracy.
Next, align yourself with the target. If you need a simply way to ensure that your alignment is good, here’s a trick. Prepare to hit the ball, in good stance, and set the driver down on the ground to meet your toes. The club will point in the direction of your alignment. Make sure to step away and get some perspective. It’s an easy way to correct any alignment errors in your drives.
Lastly, consider focusing your attention on drawing & fading your drives. Adjusting your stance slightly will make the necessary adjustments to your alignment. You will need to set your feet either slightly left, or slightly right than normal.
Obviously, this is not a complete guide to golf, or driving accuracy. Yet, these simple tips on driving will boost your overall game and make playing golf significantly more enjoyable. Stay motivated!
