7 Tips for Bombing Long Serve Like a Professional

There is nothing more satisfying on a golf course than absolutely crushing a tee. Not only is it fun when you make solid contact and maximize speed relative to the club head, but it also makes the rest of its holes easier.

Here are seven tips to turn on the longer drive of the tee.

1. Settings are key

As with any lens, your setup is crucial. It starts with your grip strength and posture. Your grip must be fundamentally reasonable and personal to help you restore the club to the impact.

A good way to find natural grip is to look at how the lead arms are hung. Let it hang naturally beside you and observe the position of your hands. If you can see three knuckles, that’s your reference – try to copy the same visibility when you place your lead hand on the grip. Your joints will naturally seek this position during the swing, so it is important to set up in this way from the start.

Pose is also very important. Sports Positions – Bend from the hips and your arms are naturally hanging under your shoulders – Promote better balance and an effective way for your arms to swing under the body

2. Ball position and shoulder tilt

With the driver, your ball position should be forward in your position, usually in line with the footsteps of the forefoot. To supplement the forward position, tilt your shoulders so that the lead shoulder is higher than the trail shoulder.

This tilt helps your shoulders stay square and facilitates the ball to hit upwards, which is the key to maximizing distance. Catching the ball on the ascending creates a more efficient launch, reducing excessive rotation and avoiding high rotation pop-ups.

3. Energy stored in the back swing

Your guard is where you build speed and strength. Let your arms swing freely while allowing wrist hinges – this creates a leverage system that effectively generates speed.

Meanwhile, your body should be coiled, and as the club travels around you, energy and depth can be stored. The stored energy is what you release on the hem.

4. Swing and swing

Set it correctly and store the energy in the back swing, and let it go. Believe that the ball will hinder a good swing.

If you have a club in your schoolbag where you should swing actively, that is the driver. Because the ball is on the tee, controlling the lows is not that important. Modern drivers are more tolerant than ever, and even in minor accidents, larger sweet spots and technology help keep distance.

When swaying, listen to “swoosh” – a sound that indicates speed. I often tell students that control is overrated. Spend time practicing swing speeds more than you would like to gradually build the speed and confidence of the club head.

5. Have the right equipment

The right driver is very different. This is the club I recommend that students update the most frequently.

Everything about the club is important – design, length, loft and shaft. If your club offers a demo day, take advantage of it. You may find a setting that is more suitable for your swing.

Representatives in these activities are often well understood and use a boot monitor to compare your current driver to the demo. I often send my students to real Spec Golf for accessories. There, they can test the combination of club heads and shafts from all major manufacturers to find the best settings. The data is not about it – if the numbers show huge gains, then the investment is worth it.

6. Center Contact

Distance always hits the center of the club. Although this comes primarily from solids setup and swing mechanics, you should actively monitor it.

A simple drill: play a ball and put two extra t-shirts on each side of the ball. If you are going to hit the center of your face, your club should swing cleanly without disturbing the outer t-shirt.

7. Speed train

Trying to have a faster swing can help, but the real, lasting speed gain comes from training.

I recommend using a data-driven application to evaluate your swing and provide a personalized speed training protocol. U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick used it to increase his distance – apparently paid off.
