Hey golf enthusiasts!
Dani here, back with some tips to help you crush your drives. A solid tee shot can set the tone for your entire hole, so let’s break down some simple tricks I use to maximize my drives.
- Perfect your stance
- Feet shoulder-width apart
- Ball positioned just inside your front heel
- Slight tilt in your spine, away from the target
- Grip it right
- Not too tight! Imagine you’re holding a small bird
- Find a grip that feels natural and consistent
- Focus on rotation, not lifting
- Turn your shoulders, not just your arms
- Let your hips lead on the downswing
- Keep your head still
- Resist the urge to look up early
- Keep your eye on where the ball was until after impact
- Follow through
- Finish high and balanced
- Your belt buckle should face the target at the end
- Breathe and relax
- Take a deep breath before your swing
- Tension is the enemy of a good drive
- Practice with purpose
- Use alignment sticks to check your setup
- Film your swing to spot areas for improvement
Remember, consistency is key. Find a pre-shot routine that works for you and stick to it. It’s not about swinging harder; it’s about swinging smarter.
What aspect of driving do you struggle with most? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll try to address it in a future post!
Keep swinging, Dani
