How to increase driver distance

Here in this article I am going to go over a few key points that will increase your driving distance without losing any accuracy. These tips will be useful for all levels of golfers.

The first things that you want to do to increase distance with your golf driver is to get the basics right. You want to make sure that your golf ball position is correct. With a driver you want the golf ball to be teed nearly a full balls width above the face of the driver and the golf ball should be placed just inside your left foot.

You will want your stance to be slightly wider than normal and your weight should be behind the ball at least 60%. Your head should be behind the golf ball as well. This is to promote an upward strike because to get maximum distance we need a high launch with low spin.

Ok now that we have the perfect setup for distance we now have to over a couple of swing mechanics to get increased distance. Our aim to get the most distance is to get the clubhead travelling to the ball as fast as possible giving a high launch and low spin. To do this you need to take a long low wide takeaway and a full turn. You want your back to face the target. Now you want to start your downswing with a slight weight transfer and uncoil of the body.

As the club comes down you want to continue to uncoil whilst maintaining as much lag as possible and holding it to the last minute releasing the golf club at impact. Doing this whilst uncoling and keeping your head behind the ball promoting an upward strike will give you much more distance whilst maintaining accuracy with your golf drives. One more pointer that should be added is that you should make sure that your driver is custom fitted as a driver that is not properly fitted will mean a loss of distance and accuracy. To get custom fitted or even check how your current driver is you should visit your nearest fitting centre and Im sure they would let you try your own driver on the monitor to get some data.
