Tips for Getting More Distance With Golf Drivers

Whether you have a Taylormade M5 Driver or something a little more basic, getting some distance is often a serious issue for keen golfers. Whether you’re playing a casual Sunday game or want to get really serious, getting some distance will help improve your stats. Fortunately, regardless of your choice of golf drivers, there are some tips to help you get more distance with any golf drivers.

A Stronger Grip Will Make it Easier to Square Face

A stronger grip will allow you to square your clubface up, so you won’t need to flip it using your hands too much. This will help you to hold off through the impact and feel better through the ball, rather than trying to chase it with your right hand. If you have a neutral grip, you will need to work harder to square the clubface, making it more challenging to get some serious distance. It is worth practising your grip, and when you find yourself with a stronger grip, you’re sure to be in a good place to get some serious distance.

A Longer Swing Will Increase the Acceleration Time

When you have a long golf swing, you are more likely to go past the parallel point at the top. This will help you to generate more speed, as your clubhead will be moving further. However, you will need to control it during the downswing. You may need to practice quickly uncoiling your hips during your downswing sequence to help everything catch up. This should be the same motion as you would use if you throw a ball.

Keep Your Clubface Body Turning

When your club shaft is parallel to the ground during the downswing, you need your clubface to be slightly shut. This means it should be a little outside or on the hands as you’re looking down the line. This will mean it tracks a little to the left. This may take a little practice, but it will enable you to create a passive clubface throughout the impact zone. However, you need to keep your body turning to keep it squared up. This should be a smooth motion to achieve a great sequence and consistent distance.

Track Left of Your Target for Fade

When your golf driver is in a good place, parallel to the ground during the downswing, you should be in a good position to deliver impact from there. If you don’t manage this good place, you’ll be fighting it into your impact. Tracking your club head slightly to the left at the point of impact will enable you to hit a little fade for greater consistency.
