5 TIPS to Hit Your LONGEST Drives

PGA Professionals James Robinson and Chris Dennis from Get Good At Golf share five essential tips to increase driver distance and accuracy. By optimizing tee height, hitting up on the ball, and maintaining balance, golfers can gain distance without sacrificing fairway accuracy.

• Swing within your limits (around 80-90% effort) to maintain center-face contact and control.
• Optimize tee height to encourage hit-up contact and improve launch parameters.
• Maintain solid balance throughout the swing to prevent wild dispersion.
• Increase attack angle on the driver to reduce excessive spin and gain carry distance.
• Practice target control and consistency on the range instead of pure distance.
