Improving Your Driving Distance

Distance

If you lack distance in your driving swing you may have a power leak at impact due to inefficient sequencing on the downswing.  Many golfers move their head and upper body past the ball during impact.

This will result in a major loss of distance and consistency.  longer hitters, and those with efficient swings approach the hitting area with a positive attach angle (on the slight upswing) with the driver.  Remember, an optimal two lever function of the left arm and club shaft is only possible if the left shoulder joint is behind the ball at impact.


Try to impact the ball with the driver slightly above the center of the clubface for maximum distance.

Practice tip:
Hit drives on the practice range with your head and left shoulder socket slightly behind the ball at impact.
