Think of your friend looking on as you launch the ball into space while you tee off! My obsession was to drive the ball farther than my friends. It was only until one day I felt confident enough to drive the ball further than my friends. You’ll learn the secrets of my success by reading on.
Before I finally realized that I wasn’t trying the best drivers, I had tried many. My current driver is a bog standard one, which makes it more interesting to drive with my partners who are using top golf drivers.
It’s so rewarding to see their smiles. Long drives have five key components. It would be impossible to cover them all so I will only give you an overview.
1.Speed, not strength
The club head speed is what matters, not the distance you hit. It is important to keep your swing relaxed, and to not get too excited about hitting that white ball.
2.Keep a Wide Arc
It’s easier to achieve maximum club head speed by swinging in a larger arc. This is a simple trick that’s easy to overlook when trying to break the long-distance world record.
3.Drills
When trying to increase your distance, make sure you actually go through all the drills. Sometimes it’s easy to become frustrated, and you end up with a lot of balls by brute force. It’s just not possible.
