Hitting a longer drive in golf involves a combination of technique, body mechanics, and practice. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
Select the Right Equipment:
- Use a driver that suits your swing style. The shaft flex, loft, and clubhead size can all impact your driving distance. Get fitted by a professional if possible.
Set Up Properly:
- Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart for stability.
- Grip the club comfortably — not too tight.
- Position the ball inside the front heel. This encourages an upward strike, which is key for distance.
- Tilt your spine slightly away from the target. Your head should be behind the ball.
Aim and Alignment:
- Align your body (feet, hips, shoulders) parallel to your target line.
- Aim the clubface directly at the target.
