The Secrets to Distance

You aim at the golf ball, you use all your might to swing you golf club, and you see you ball fly into the air. Then you become disappointed at the distance. You begin to wonder what you did wrong. You are not alone. Every golfer wishes to be longer on the tee, but those who are long drivers are few and far between.

Golf is all about swing and distance. If you are longer on the tee, you may slash some handicaps, and you have an advantage over your opponents. That is why all golfers desire to be longer on the tee. But to be long on the tee, you need to know the secrets of long drive. It is not easy to add 20 or 30 yards to your drive, but it is not that difficult if you follow the advice of world long drive champion Eric Jones

(1) Driving long distance is not about physical strength. You have to know how to leverage your power source. It is a myth that the harder you hit the ball, the longer distance you will get. The secret lies in how you accelerate you golf club to produce the strength to add distance to your drive.

(2) Develop a mental blueprint to help you relax mentally and physically every time you are on the tee. A relaxed mind and body will produce quality golf swings through spontaneity, which is an essential component in golf consistency.

(3) Follow an appropriate address routine to maintain athletic balance at address, which not only directly impacts the quality of your ball striking but also maintains consistency and spontaneity in your golf swing.

(4) Remember, hitting the golf ball harder or intensifying your golf swing will not add more distance; rather, they often tend increase tension at the expense of accuracy and speed. Therefore, build a swing for distance.
