Hit Your Driver Further WITHOUT Swinging Harder

PGA Professional Georgia Ball reveals three key techniques to increase driver distance without swinging harder. By optimizing sweet-spot contact using a two-tee drill, setting up to sweep up on the ball, and pacing swings at 80% effort with a 1-2-3 tempo count, golfers can maximize efficiency and distance.

• Ensure centered strike by using a two-tee gate drill around your teed ball to clarify club path and impact spot.
• Set tee height so half of the ball sits above the top crown of the driver.
• Position the ball forward off your lead ear with your sternum behind the ball to sweep up on impact.
• Avoid over-swinging by maintaining an 80% effort level and using a '1 2 3' tempo cadence.
