subject: Hit Longer Golf Drives - The Simple Way to Get More Distance on Drives! [print this page] When trying to hit longer golf drives, someone can get very confused with the process. When I look to get more distance on drives, I generally turn to the basics in my swing. If my distance is hurting, then I am missing something with my fundamentals. There are many different drills available to golfers online, but most are extremely technical and can cause more problems than they actually solve. Most of the drills I use are mental drills. Golf is a mind game. Your body knows what to do, but your mind gets in the way due to over analyzing. Here are a few things that I like to do to correct the problems in my swing, without doing a swing overhaul. Slow Down One thing I like to do is just take a deep breath and slow down. Many times, when I am on the course, I get extremely excited when I hit a good shot. This causes my swing to slowly get faster and faster. The reason this happens is because I want to crush my next shot like the first one. Then, I hit another good shot, but it is not as far as the first one. Why is this happening? You are using all of your energy swinging too fast! Just relax and crush it. Work on Flexibility Another thing I do when lacking in the distance, is to work on my flexibility. Try stretching before you step up to each shot, even if it is just a little. The more relaxed your body is, the more torque and power you can create when you start to coil your swing. Take a nice and smooth back swing and let your flexibility create all of your power. It is as simple as that!
