Fundamentals for a perfect golf drive?

Question

I just want to hear some tips from everyone about all of the little things... the grip, the glove, the stance, the shoulders, the hands, the push and pull of the arms, the hip movement.

ive been altering my drive since last year and I lost something, not sure what it is...

Answer 1

allign the ball to you front foot....stand strait and dont dip alot.....

Answer 2

If you're ready to start golfing and have fun doing it, “Golf - Everything You Want to Know!” is the sourcebook you need. No matter what you want and need to learn, I am going to give you the tools to get started right now and probably some information you hadn't known before.

Answer 3

Mark - take a trip to your local book store and pick up Ben Hogan's book "5 Lessons".

that is the most thorough and accurate breakdown you can find. It applies to all clubs. The swings the same. the premise  is that the swing is made up of a few key actions you need to make repeatable.

Answer 4

relax, swing to meet the ball square, follow thru

Answer 5

Since last year and you don't have it right?  I'd say that a trip to a pro to see what is not right would be in order.  You can try to make all kinds of minor adjustments.....but in the end 1 quick lesson probably would have saved you a ton of frustration.  Just the thoughts of one who has gone the same route....and finally saw the light

Answer 6

Start the swing by turning your shoulders and taking the club back smoothly and in unison

c**k the wrists half way up and turn your shoulders at least 90 degrees

start the downswing by turning your hips quickly and dropping the club (swinging too hard from the top hugely decreases power)

make sure your hands are ahead of the clubhead at impact and your weight is on your left foot

turn through the ball and release the club head (feel like youre shaking hands with the target)

hold your finish

watch ball land 300 yards down the middle of the fairway
