Most amateur golfers are obsessed with hitting longer off the tee and if you are reading this article you too obviously want more distance. Look at the money we spend on drivers, balls and lessons to maximize our efforts!

The Complete Guide to Maximizing Your Driver article on practical-golf.com is a really comprehensive one by Jon Sherman. Below is the short version and of course you can click here https://practical-golf.com/maximizing-driver-distance?utm_source=newsletter_490&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the-complete-guide-to-bombing-your-driver to read entire article.

First, there are a number of reasons why recreational golfers are lacking distance with their driver – swing speed, impact tendencies, equipment setup, and several other factors. If you want to maximize your distance, then your goal should be to increase your ball speed, launch it higher and reduce the amount of spin on the ball. (Easier said than done.)

No surprises here but here are the driving distance numbers by scoring average for the average player:

100 – 105 scoring average: 172 yards driving distance
90 – 95 scoring average: 193 yards driving distance
80 -- 85 scoring average: 217 yards driving distance
90 – 95 scoring average: 193 yards driving distance
72 or better scoring average: 251 yards driving distance

Here are some steps you can do without radically changing your swing:

1. Play the right driver – Most amateurs blindly select their driver off the rack without taking into consideration the shaft, the loft and driver head. Want more distance? Then get custom fit. You could easily add 20 – 30 yards if you aren’t hitting the right club.

2. Shorten the Shaft (yep, shorten the shaft.) -- All things being equal, a longer driver shaft will allow you to swing the club faster, which could add more distance. The problem for recreational golfers and even the pros, is that it makes it more challenging to find the center of the clubface with a longer shaft. So while you might be swinging it faster, your ball speed (and distance) could decrease because you are striking it all over the face of the club.

3. Improve your impact location (see #2 )-- By improving your strike efficiency, this is a way to add distance to your drives without adding any swing speed. The first thing you should do is find out where your impact tendencies are.

4. Hit up on the ball -- By learning how to hit up on the ball, or have a positive angle of attack, you will be able to launch the ball on the more optimal trajectory. Players can add as much as 20 yards to their drives by going from hitting down on the ball to hitting up on it. For certain golfers, it could be as simple as teeing it up higher and moving the ball further up in your stance.

5. Find the right tee height -- Your goal is to make impact in the center of the face, or slightly above it.

6. Swing faster (not harder) -- When most golfers try to add swing speed they are doing it all wrong. They just try to swing harder, which usually ruins their swing mechanics and results in injury. Getting stronger and more fit is one way to add swing speed the right way. Having a golf-specific workout can increase your strength, flexibility, and prevent injuries.

Trying one or two of these things may make a big difference. Have a plan and hit it straighter and further.
