Golf Drive Control and Distance Now

Thousands of golfers struggle every day perfect their swing for maximum distance and control. For some it's as easy as buying a new club or adjusting their arch slightly. For others, not unlike myself, the task of finding their sweet spot can be very difficult. While others learn a small tip and it's enough to do the trick, others seek out and study every piece of advice available to them and gain half of what they would like.

Often times in the great game of golf, the tip that can help the most is the one that is most obvious. A problem that I had at one point, was the ability to control my shot and still achieve the distance that I was going for.

I searched and searched for that one magic secret that would cure my game for good but came up empty handed time and time again. While adjusting my grip, setting my stance and stretching gave me some useful gain, I was still having difficulty keeping my shots in line and getting the distance that I want.

Then one day after becoming weary and tired of the struggle almost entirely, I realized that the answer was in a tidbit of information that I already had stored and used in every match. I just wasn't applying this knowledge to every aspect of my game.

Your clubs are designed intentionally to provide a certain amount of distance and a particular flight pattern. I was putting too much emphasis on the swing itself. For different distances, I was adjusting my swing to place me where I wanted to be. The shorter or longer the distance I needed to travel, I would swing harder or softer.

What I wasn't realizing is that I had picked the club specifically for that distance. A driver is designed specifically to give you the farthest distance at a lower flying angle where as an iron is designed to give you more loft and less distance.

Clubs are designed to vary on average 15 to 20 yards as you back down the scale from the driver. It's really just a matter of how far and which club is designed for it. Trust your clubs and don't over think the swing. In fact, find your swing, the one you can use in any situation and use it. Practice it and perfect it, it's the only one you'll need.

By finding your own perfect swing and learning to pull it off consistently, you have found everything you need to know to keep control of your shot every time. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction and it holds true in both physics and golf. By overcompensating the swing and trying to give more or less force, you will falter in other aspects.

If your swing isn't natural and comfortable, you'll inevitably lose timing, balance, and contact accuracy or a mix of all three. Let the club do the work for you, that is what it's for after all.
