subject: Hit Longer Golf Drives - A Few Simple Keys to Longer Drives That Helped Me This Morning! [print this page] I was trying extremely hard this morning to figure out how to hit longer golf drives, but I was having a bit of trouble. When looking for the keys to longer drives in golf, there are many factors you have to look into. It is not just about strength, its important focus on technique as well. When I was playing in a golf outing this morning, it was the first I had played for about a year due to back injuries. I went out with the idea that my swing would be the same and I would just go up and swing away like I always do. That is what I was hoping would work. It did the exact opposite. I was hitting the ball extremely short and couldn't figure out what was going on! After sitting on the turn thinking about what I was doing wrong, I finally decided to go through some old drills. Here is what worked for me this morning, and can help you as well with getting longer drives in golf. Keep Your Eye on the Ball I worked on keeping my eye on the ball. I know this is probably one of the most basic tips out there, but keeping your eye on the ball does a number of things as well. When you are focusing on the ball, your head stays in place, and eliminates improper shifting. It is extremely fundamental, but is extremely important for a golf swing. Keep Your Swing Smooth Another issue I had to fix was keeping my swing smooth. I was rushing my swing like crazy this morning! I was rushing my back swing which prevented me from loading up all the power in my swing. Once I slowed down my swing and relaxed, my swing became more fluent and I started to hit the ball farther and straighter each and every shot! I know it sounds too good to be true, but it works.
