The best advice is to practice as often as possible, it takes skill and repetition to perfect and improve your golf drive.

  1. Step 1

    Have correct posture and alignment. The correct stance is with your knees flexed. Your feet, hips and shoulders in line with the target. And have the ball lined up slightly inside of your front foot.

  2. Step 2

    Slow your tempo on the takeaway, bringing the club inside (hinge wrists to create a proper lever system for power).

    Focus on having the proper weight transfer throughout your swing: shift weight onto your back foot during takeaway and use the natural movement of weight through the swing, ending with good balance in the finish.

    Practice as often as possible. Stay focused and eager to improve your golf game and form, not just increase your drive distance.
