The obvious secret......use a shorter driver or irons. Hitting the ball in center of any of your clubs will not only guarantee more distance, but also increases the chances of the ball staying in the middle of the fairway. Most clubs, to include drivers, are made longer so the user can say they hit the ball further. Yes, maybe, but it increases the chances of not hitting the ball squarely. (BTW, were you ever fitted to your driver, or did you grab the latest, longest club to increase distance?) Try this sometime, grip down on your driver or iron an inch or so. You will have to be a touch closer to the ball than normal, because of this, then take your normal swing. It may feel strange at first, but work with it and you might be surprised on the improved straight ball flight and a little additional distance as icing on the cake. Try gripping down and up until you get get the best distance with the best accuracy. Distance bragging rights are worthless unless it results in lowering your scores.

The first step is in undoing all the brainwashing that has gone on with us golfers that the only way to get better is to find a perfect swing and practice the heck out of it...it's not true and all it takes is some creativity. Nice post, thank you. Absolultely Willie.

The best part is all this "no-practice" training can be done from the comfort of your own home. And it's free to very low cost. You can pick up some low cost exercise equipment or just do bodyweight exercises. Sure beats having to spend on the latest new fad of drivers & irons. That maybe OK for awhile, but if you don't get your body in shape for golf, your distance & overall game will suffer.
