How to Hit a Golf Driver

The Driver! The 1 Wood Golf Club!

If mastered it can be an advantage for you on the tee, if a long tee shot is needed.

Drivers are notoriously more difficult to hit the golf ball with in comparison with any other golf club in the bag. The shaft as it is considerably longer provides a wider arc and this means the club head travels a greater distance. Increased club head speed caused by the wider arc of the longer shaft enables longer distances to be achieved.

Slow takeaway, smooth backswing and continued throughout the golf swing enables you to hit the ball. The common mistake again is trying to hit the ball too hard or too far; you don’t have to throw everything into it, the driver will do this for you. No longer made only of wood, you need to try out a driver before you buy one. Many types, shapes and sizes are available manufactured from various compounds.

Slow back lift, smooth swing, don’t try too hard!
