Golfers seem to want one thing. To discover the secret of how to hit longer golf drives. Just like in baseball, people want to see the big home run, in golf everyone talks about the long drive of the day, not the awesome “up-and-down” someone pulled off.

I am a firm believer in training your body to not only increase your driving distance, but to improve your consistency for 18 holes. Lack of consistency coupled with a shorter than accepted driving distance is the 2 main issues with most amateur golfers in my opinion.

In the below golf video, I show you a simple, and affordable power golf swing weight trainer, that I put on the end of my driver, to add resistance when I swing it. This training aid can go in your bag and you won’t even notice. The great thing is to take it with you to the range and before you play, as I use mine for a golf-specific warmup.

Every golfer on the planet wants to know the secret to how to drive a golf ball far and straight. Well…there are no “secrets”, but there are several key components that need to be in place to maximize your driving distance, and any below golf driving tip will help.

Golf Driving Tips

Tip #1 Tee your golf ball off your inside heel of your lead foot.

Tip #2 Get a slight spine tilt away from target at address, and maintain it all the way through impact.

Tip #3 Work on improving your golf grip. A strong golf grip will encourage an aggressive rotation of the clubface through impact, encouraging a golf draw, that will land and roll 30 more yards.

Tip #4 Make sure you are lined up “parallel” to target line. So your feet, knees, hips and shoulders should be parallel to your end target. This will ensure a straight golf ball with every drive.

Tip #5 Square clubface at impact. It can be slightly open if you are coming from the inside, which would make it square to your path going into the golf ball.

Tip #6 Swing to a full and balanced finish with all your weight on your lead foot (heel), and with your hips and chest facing the target.

Give these simple golf driving tips a go and I’ll bet you hit your drives longer and straight!
