Simple instruction is the key to hitting your golf driver. Every golfer wants to hit the long ball…but very few every do. Why? Because they “over-analyze” their swing and get “locked-up” when the get on the tee box.

How many times have you yearned to hit it longer…swung harder…and it didn’t happen? Every golfer on the planet can say this. I know I’ve done it more times than I can count! Swinging harder isn’t the answer! In fact…it’s death to your dreams of longer drives.

Golfers are so infatuated with the LONG ball. So much that they will spend $500 on a new driver in hopes for more yards off the tee. The problem with this approach is the cause of your lack of distance. It’s not your club, it’s how you swing the club that’s the problem!

Getting the proper instruction for your driver is critical to achieving your goals of more yards. There is so much junk, bad tips, and advice out there…you can be deluged with these inadequate thoughts, resulting in driving distances below your norm. Not what you want if you want more yards!

You need help from someone whose been there. Not the Harmons, Leadbetter’s and the Rick Smith’s of the world, but average golfers who have found a method that works! A method that can add up to 30 yards to your drives with minimal effort or change in your golf swing.

This type of instruction is out there, but finding it might be another issue. The Net is polluted with hundreds, if not thousands of websites, pages and articles that won’t help. I don’t mean to get you feeling like you can’t find help, but you need some resources you can turn to you trust. And that will get you the results you’re looking for.

About the Author:

I have often been asked what I think the most important part of the setup is when you’re getting ready to drive a golf ball. I don’t know if there is one answer to that question.

The way I answer it is based on what I’ve observed over the past 30 years of teaching.

After you’ve addressed the golf ball, and this is not an easy thing to see, you might have to have someone watch. Or, I’ll tell you how to check for yourself.

After you’ve addressed the golf ball and you’re all ready to hit, I would say that 90% of the people that struggle with the driver have their shoulders aimed way off to the left.

Now, why? It’s pretty simple. Oh, I don’t know, 80% of the golfing public has a driver golf slice. So, if you slice the golf ball, you’re going to try to aim off to the side, so when it recovers and comes back around it’s in play.

Now, unfortunately, for those of you that have a driver golf slice, simply by squaring your shoulders up, that isn’t going to take away the slice. But it’s going to encourage the golf club to swing more from inside than from outside, and it will help it a lot.

You may need a grip change. But there’s no question about it, the most important part of the setup for the driver has to be the shoulders.

Make sure they’re aimed parallel to your feet, knees and hips going left of the target.

Now, if you’re driving the golf ball poorly and not very consistent, let me give you these two golf swing instruction pearls. They go hand in hand.

And I promise you this will help you find out if your problem with your driver is in the backswing.

For you to become a really good driver of the golf ball and consistent, the shoulders have to turn. The only way they can turn in the backswing is if you have your chin up and not down.

Most mistakes that I’ve seen with amateur golfers in their difficulties of driving the golf ball is their posture.

Their head is too far down. The only thing your shoulders can do is go up in the air. You won’t have the ability to swing the golf club around you. You won’t have the chance of your shoulders turning.

So, the best golf swing instruction I can give you is, the next time out, after you’ve addressed the golf ball, gone through your routine and you’re almost ready to swing the golf club back, simply lift your chin up in the air an inch or two. And don’t forget that your shoulder should turn in the backswing.

If you have your chin up, the shoulder can turn around it. From there, you can really let it fly in the downswing.

Again, chin up, not down, promotes the shoulders turning in the backswing.

Try that the next time out and I promise you it’ll help you.

Thanks.
