Pointers For Adding A Little Extra Distance On Your Drive Updated for 2024

TIP! Having a well-tuned body is a great benefit when it comes to developing a solid swing. Your whole body is the force behind your shot.

Golf is a great sport for those who wish to relax and get moderate exercise. Read the following article for some advice on learning how to play golf. You’ll discover that once you understand the basics, it’s easy to get going.

TIP! The key thing to consider when looking for a powerful swing is using both your upper and lower body to create momentum through the ball. Beginning golfers rely too much on their arms for swinging power, which causes them not to hit all that far.

Don’t bother renting yourself a golf cart, walk instead! This will give you more exercise on the course and that is a great way to be in better shape. It can be very beneficial to your health. The constant movement of walking while golfing will keep your muscles warm.

TIP! A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to not take it too seriously. Mistakes do happen out on the course and you won’t hit a perfect shot every time, the key is to always keep smiling, which will help you relax.

Golf is a sport that utilizes your entire body while you play. You don’t just use your arms, you have to channel energy from your whole body for a source of true power. When you swing the club, your body should always stay 100 percent behind your swing. You are then more likely to hit the ball farther without swinging your arms as forcefully.

TIP! When addressing each putt, it is important to have your hands slightly ahead of the line between your head and the ball. Don’t let this position slip during your stroke.

Make sure that you are holding the club correctly when you are a beginner. New golfers often mistakenly grip the club tightly in hopes they will be able to hit the ball harder. Grip your club softly but firmly. Hold the golf club as though you were cradling a small bird.

TIP! So make sure you are properly hydrated, and before you tee off, make sure you properly warm up. To become successful with golf, take care of your body.

A great technique for bettering your swing is to make the most of your entire body weight as a means to gain additional power. Inexperienced players believe that strength derives from their upper body, but using only your arms means your swing will be weak and awkward. Moving the whole body with the club motion is much more effective.

TIP! Align your front heel with the ball before you swing with your driver. For other swings, your two feet should be about equidistant from the ball.

Be sure that all of your attention is dedicated towards your next shot. Try to free your mind of past plays or hazards that lay ahead of you, and just focus on the moment at hand. Thinking about past mistakes or future actions takes your mind off the swing, so do your best to just move on and forget about them.

TIP! Develop a good position to improve your overall skills. Your position can influence how far the ball goes.

When addressing each putt, it is important to have your hands slightly ahead of the line between your head and the ball. Putt the ball, keeping your hands steadily in this position as you follow through. This helps to keep the ball from bouncing too hard off the club face, and will also hold the club firmly in your grasp.

TIP! Consider getting custom-fitted when buying a club. Every golfer is proportioned differently, so a club that hits like a champ for golfer A, may leave golfer B hitting into the rough.

If possible, play with good players and watch their techniques. You can benefit from the experience of your fellow golfers in more ways than one. You don’t even have to play with the person you’re shadowing to learn from him. Sometimes, just spending time with him helps your game. Just watching a good player carefully can help you learn strategies you might never have thought of on your own, which will improve your play.

TIP! Check the club head – before you buy a used golf club! A worn, shiny area on the head of the club may be an indicator that the club was used excessively. This wear means less action from the grooves in the club that are designed to give you the best chance for distance and accuracy.

Ideally, using these tips will make you feel better about getting into golfing. Just like anything you learn in life, the more you learn the easier it becomes, so take in this knowledge. Try to the best of your ability to apply it.

"I have picked up golf seriously at the age of 43. The "Draw" System has enabled me to understand what goes wrong with what I do to a golf ball and make corrections. Having this knowledge has me playing with a 19 handicap after only playing for a short while. It helped me understand the game better.

When I started playing my shots landed anywhere except where I was aiming. I am now getting my shots to go where I am aiming more regularly. Just yesterday, I hit a 141-yard shots on a par 3 and it landed 6 feet away from the hole. Three months ago that would never have happened.

The instructions and the pictures are wonderful. The instructions are concise and descriptive. Combined with the pictures, it promotes easy understanding. The pictures help the most."

"My fairway woods are now much more consistent in distance and much straighter, both off the tee and from the fairway. Also my mid iron shots are more consistent than in the past.

This system helped me to learn to put all the pieces together to know what a good swing should feel like. Whereas in the past someone might give me a good piece of advice, but I never had it in the context of a whole solid swing. And now I'm finally gaining confidence with my swing.

The instructions were easy to follow. The pictures added a lot of clarity to what you were looking to emulate. The "Draw" System gives you a step by step approach to building a good, solid, repeatable golf swing. All the drills are geared towards that singular goal of producing a swing that will produce a draw.

I've seen a lot of the drills used in The "Draw" System, but this is the first time where I've seen all the drills tied together in order to produce the "whole" good swing. And I'm finally learning what a good swing should feel like, (after years of unsuccessful guessing), and can try to recreate that sensation on the course.

I enjoy playing golf more now because I can actually start aiming at where I want to hit the ball. And I'm having a lot more fun actually hitting a lot more often from the fairway!

A very good, useful book! Thanks for compiling all the information and drills to help me understand and incorporate the swing mechanics in order to produce a draw."
