Golf Driving Tips: Accuracy before Power

It must be in a golfers DNA. You stand on the tee and look down the fairway on a long par 5. You see the flag fluttering in the distance and you realize it’s a long way off. You address the ball and let loose with everything you have. Nine times out of ten, your shot is to the left, right, or 100 yards in front of the tee.

It can be difficult to learn how to take a nice, easy swing at about 80% of your maximum power. We’ve all seen the golfer who takes a seemingly effortless tee shot, hit the ball 275 yards, and land in the middle of the fairway. The reason is that he has more control and can manage the fundamentals of driving better with a relaxed swing. The power will come naturally, concentrate on hitting a clean shot every time and your score will begin to drop dramatically.

Golf Driving Tips: Keep Your Chin Up Slightly

It’s been drilled into us from the first time we picked up a golf club. Keep your head down and your eye on the ball. It’s great advice. The problem many golfers have is they exaggerate their posture by tucking in their chin slightly. When the chin is tucked in too much it prevents the shoulders from turning smoothly. Go ahead and take a practice swing now with your chin tucked in. Did you notice the tightness in your swing? Now lift your chin up an inch or two while maintaining eye contact with the ball. Can you feel the difference? Try this on the practice range and see if doesn’t improve your power.

Golf Driving Tips: Swing With the Whole Body

The distance on your drives is the result of the stored power in the body that is released upon impact. If you watch the pros, you’ll see that they have a big shoulder turn on their backswing while their hips stay relatively stable. This is known as “coiling the body.” To do this, keep your back knee slightly bent and firmly planted while rotating your shoulders all the way back. When you uncoil on the downswing, rotate through the ball.

If you have trouble doing this, a golf fitness program may be in order. Flexibility and core training will condition your body for more power in your swing.

Golf Driving Tips: Have the Right Driver for Your Swing Type?

Using the right driver for your swing type is crucial in increasing power and distance. Beginners, intermediates, juniors, and ladies will have more success with a flexible, graphite shaft. The added flexibility will help you to swing with more power. A driver with a higher loft angle will help get the ball in the air quickly and generally produce straighter golf shots as well. Advanced golfers can add distance and accuracy by using a stiffer shaft and reducing the loft of the driver.
