How to Easily Increase your Distance and Accuracy

Every golfer seems to be obsessed about hitting the ball further, but seem to go about it in the worng way.

Hitting a long ball with the driver and any other club requires several things:
1. Good fundamentals - Grip, setup, posture, ball position and alignment. If any of these are off then you make it hard for yourself to create the positions that you need to hit it a long way.

2. Good Rhythm and Tempo. The only way to increase your distance is to increase your speed. Make sure that you are swinging at the optimum tempo for you. If you watch any of the top tour pros, you will see that there rhythm is the same with every shot, and it is smooth. There is no hit in the swing. The clubhead gathers speed as it goes and collects the ball along the way. All the energy is focused towards the target and not at the ball.

3. Impact position. There are many different routes to the ball, as there are many different routes to any destination. The one thing that has to be good is the impact position. No matter how you take it back, if you are not in a good position at impact, then you will lose distance and accuracy.

4. Make contact with the sweetspot. If you do not find the sweetspot, then you will not maximise your distance. If you are not hitting your wedges out of the sweetspot, then how can you expect to hit the driver from the sweetspot consistently.

If you focus on these four areas, then you will easily increase your distance and accuracy not just with your driver, but with all clubs in your bag.

Look out for my next post where I will show you how to get into a good impact position.

Have fun on the Golf Course.
