How to Drive a Golf Ball Far Every Time

Who doesn't want to drive a golf ball far every time? Most people step up to the tee box dreaming of blasting a drive like Tiger Woods only to have their dreams shattered by a nasty hook or wild slice. Check out the information below to see what you need to do to drive a golf ball far every time.

Instructions

1. Practice as much as possible. There is no substitute for practice in the game of golf, and it takes a long time to groove a reliable, powerful swing. Make sure that you pay your dues on the range and you'll shine on the course.

2. Warm up before every round. This is crucial if you want to drive a golf ball far every time. If you don't warm up to ready your body for the game then the course will become your warm up. This will cause your driving distance and accuracy to suffer.

3. Check your grip to make sure it's correct. To make your hands function as one unit you need to have the proper grip. You should have either an interlock or overlap grip between the pinky and index fingers where your hands meet.

4. Assume a slightly wider stance. This will give your clubhead a longer, wider arc which promotes increased clubhead speed. The faster your clubhead speed is the more energy you will transfer to the golf ball which will make your drives longer.

5. Play the ball just off the inside of your left heel. Some people play the ball too far back in their stance when using a driver. If you play the ball further up the clubhead will be sure to catch it on a rising arc. This will impart just the right amount of backspin to make your drive climb and fly as far as possible.

6. Make a full shoulder turn. Some people don't take full advantage of their rotational power when driving the ball. The tighter you coil up the more potential energy you create and the longer your drives will be.

7. Uncoil from the bottom up driving with your legs. Doing this will use your legs and lower body to start the swing and to produce the power needed to drive the golf ball as far as possible.
