How To Drive Better In One Easy Step

How To Drive Better In One Easy Step

If you're like most folks that are new to golf then you're probably having trouble hitting your driver. There's are a lot of reasons for this...

The primary reason most people struggle to hit their driver is because the driver is the club that has the longest shaft in your bag of clubs. The long shaft makes your swing longer and it means that there is are a higher chance that you will not strike the ball flushly. Simply put in golf when you don't hit the golf ball flush with the face of the club the ball will not go straight. And the long shaft on the driver makes it hard to start and strike the ball in the exact same position which is what you have to do in golf.

Another reason folks struggle to hit the driver is because the head of the club in most drivers these days are quite larger meaning you have to have the golf ball farther off the ground to allow clearance for the large driver club head. Using a 1 wood these days means the difference between using a short tee and a long tee and that can have an impact on your accuracy if you're not used to it.

And finally people struggle to hit the driver because they're usually trying to kill the ball. You know they're usually trying to hit the ball harder and farther then Tiger Woods and it leads to some atrocious looking swings.

So what can you do?

If you're really struggling and you don't know what to do or try next I would recommend abandoning the driver for awhile and using your 3 wood exclusively until you develop a better stroke off the tee.

A 3 wood is a lot easier to hit off the tee since the club head is a lot smaller and it is easier to swing since the shaft is also shorter then that of a 1 wood. You may give up some distance by ditching the driver but you should make up for that loss in yardage with better and improved accuracy.

I know, I know it's a big blow to the ego but if you want to drive better in one easy step then you'll ditch the driver and go exclusively with the 3 wood.
