It can be challenging to lower your golf handicap, so you must be committed to improving. This means learning to focus on the right aspects of the game and dedicating the necessary time. Keep in mind that in the majority of golf rounds, shots that are taken from within 150 yards account for at least 60% of your score. You must therefore concentrate on using the majority of your practice time on these shorter shots.
Driving tips:
Golfers continue to play the game and want to play more frequently because hitting a long, straight drive with the driver is undoubtedly the most enjoyable shot in the game. Choosing the proper driver for your swing style is the first important step. If you are able to generate club head speeds over 100 mph, you should use a stiff or super stiff flex shaft and 8.5 to 9.5 degrees of loft on your driver. If your club head speed is less than that, a regular flex shaft with a loft of 10 to 11 degrees should be the best option to produce the most distance and accuracy.
Another important thing to keep in mind when driving the golf ball is that lag is crucial to achieving the effortless distance you see the pros on television. For right-handed golfers, one trick to increase lag is to imagine pulling the club in the downswing with your left hand while keeping your right hand idle. Try not to overuse your dominant hand or try to muscle the club as this will usually result in poor shots from coming over the top. Keep in mind that solid contact and launching the ball at the proper angle and spin rate will produce much more distance with a lower club head speed than it will with a very high club head speed where you are not hitting the sweet spot of the club as frequently.
To get the most distance, it’s also crucial to tee the ball up correctly; the ideal height is roughly half a ball above the top of the driver head. Additionally, placing the ball properly in your stance can have an effect. For right-handed golfers, the best ball position is probably to line it up with the heel of your left foot.
