Set Up for Better Drives

Practice Something About Your Game Everyday.

You don’t need to go to the driving range or golf course, you can simply make practice swings in your garage or living room at home a few minutes a day (just make sure that you don’t whack the ceiling or walls!)

If you don’t have enough room to swing a regular club, use the ‘Shortee Practice Training Club’ by GolfGym.

To get more distance, try hitting the ball straighter instead of harder. Concentrate on hitting the ball in the sweet spot of the club face. If you have ever hit sweet spot, you know that these shots fly farther than the shots you hit off center in the heel or toe. For every quarter inch you hit the ball outside the sweet spot, you lose 10 yards of distance. So for maximum power, improve you swing technique to consistently hit the ball in the center of the club face.  All this month, I will present tips to improve your swing technique.

Swing Essentials No. 1 Set-Up-Driver

For the majority of high-handicap golfers the driver is the most difficult club in the bag to hit because it is the longest club and it has the least amount of loft. It will slice more often than not.

  • Pros set up with their spine tilted away from target at address, which helps them give the ball a more sweeping blow
  • As opposed to high-handicappers who may lack strength and mobility in spine and hips and set up too much on top of the ball at address which makes them hit down on the ball.
  • If you have marks on top on your driver because you have hit down on ball with driver, then you need to watch this tip.

On-Course Golf Tip-Simplify Your Set-Up for Both Driver and Irons

Off-Course Fitness Tip-Straight Leg Raise Test: Test flexibility in hamstrings and legs.

This test measures the mobility in your hamstrings and lower back, but can also detect certain problems or stiffness in your hips, which can limit a proper set up for your full swing short or putting stroke. If you are unable to perform this test, you will not be able to maintain your posture (body angles) throughout your swing, which will make it difficult to keep the club on plane. Low test results may also be related to loss of power, loss of posture and swaying.
