Increasing the distance you can hit your driver involves a combination of technique, equipment, and physical conditioning. Here are some tips to help you hit your driver longer:
Optimize Your Setup:
- Stance: Position your feet shoulder-width apart, and tilt your spine slightly away from the target. This helps promote a more sweeping, upward strike.
