3 Golden Tips For How To Swing A Driver
Learning how to swing a driver is what nearly all golfers look to do. Distance is nice, but there's more to the sport than having the ability to swing your ball 300 yards off the tee.
In this article, I'll give some tips I've used personally which can improve your accuracy as well as your distance with the driver.
Don't Overthink Your Swing
Golf is largely a mental game, but this doesn't mean that you should stand there over the tee trying to play out every possible scenario in your head before you address the ball.
Similarly, just trying to smash the ball as hard as you can won't actually help you get more distance, let alone improve your accuracy.
With that said, it's best to go to the driving range where you can take as many shots as you like than to squander your chances of a good score on the course.
What you should be doing is practicing to integrate your backswing, downswing and follow through into a single fluid motion which makes your golf driver swing a whole which is more than the sum of its parts.
It's one of those things which you have to learn through repetition, so be patient and keep working on it. If you hit a wall and don't seem to be improving, the answer may be to change up your stance or form.
Be Flexible
Being in good shape and having a full range of motion can make a great deal of difference to your driver swing. Even if you're only an occasional player, this is still sage advice.
Not only is this beneficial to your health overall, but it can help you to maintain your balance, hold proper form and give you more control and even more distance in your game.

Address The Ball Correctly
In some cases, it may simply be that you're not addressing the ball properly. There are many ways to go about this, but generally, you should stand with your feet about shoulder width apart and your right shoulder slightly lower than your left (or vice versa if you're left-handed).
If you've been struggling with your golf driver swing, the best way to tackle the problem is to break it down into sections, working on one at a time. Do it at the same time, and you'll very likely end up frustrating yourself.
Whenever you have some free time to go to the range or even the backyard, work on your swing; you may not get there overnight, but with practice, you will get there eventually.
Once you get your driver swing down pat, you can move on top other aspects of improving your game such as taking advantage of GPS technology. Good luck!
