Go to any driving range and you will find golfers working on their stances and swings. However, a successful drive in golf begins before you even approach the ball. Listed below are a few preparation tips for improving your golf drive.
1. Choose the Right Club. A good drive starts with choosing the right club. While many novice golfers believe they need to use a standard driver off the tee, more experienced players know that the club depends largely on the hole. For example, a short par-3 hole with a small green might call for an iron, which gives a drive more loft and less bounce after landing.
2. Find the Right Tee Height. An often overlooked element of a successful drive is the tee height. Most pro golfers recommend striking the ball on the upswing of the drive to maximize distance and minimize backspin. To do this, set the tee high enough that the ball aligns with the top of the club head.
3. Pick Your Target. Many golfers become so concerned with their stances and their swings that they forget to look at what their aiming for. Before approaching the tee, take a moment to identify a target in the distance that you want to direct your drive toward and align your body with it as you get into your stance.
