Tee heights range from 2. 25–4 inches (5. 7–10. 2 cm), but the most common size is 2. 75 inches (7. 0 cm). Whichever type of tee you use, make sure only the bottom 0. 25 inches (0. 64 cm) are in the ground.
Hitting the ball on the upswing will launch the ball higher without giving it backspin. This is ideal for more distance.
Lefties should place 60% of their weight on their left side.
Once your back hip stops turning, you’ve reached the top of your backswing.
Shift your weight in a fluid motion. If you find yourself hesitating, stop your swing and restart again after a taking a break for a few seconds.
Before you swing, take a few deep breaths as a way to keep yourself loose but focused.
A clubhead accelerating is not gradual. It happens incredibly fast, so the more swings you take off the tee, the more control you’ll have when you drive the ball.
Constant practicing is the best way to increase the length of your drives.
Spend an equal amount of time on each part of your swing. Allot 15 minutes for the backswing, weight shift, and follow through to build good habits.
Make sure there’s nothing in your swing path that’s in your way. If the weather is good, practice these swings outside.
There’s no rush when it comes to practicing on the driving range, so take your time. Swinging your driver over and over again in rapid succession doesn’t let you focus on getting the swing as good as it can be. Take short breaks every so often to let your body and mind regroup.
