We all are in the search for longer drives, and longer drives are the result of higher clubhead speed with solid ball contact. One without the other will not give you optimal distance with any club in your bag. Get them both and you'll no doubt be the longest hitter in your foursome.

There are many golf training aids, and new ones coming out every year promising more distance. We as golfers have gotten kind of numb to this type of advertising, but there are a few, select golf training aids, I do believe will increase both your driving distance and clubhead speed.

Using a weight, like a doughnut you use in baseball is a very affordable and effective way to add additional weight to your golf club to build up your golf specific strength, flexibility and clubhead speed.

I found a golf swing weight trainer that is perfect for any golfer, even in this bad economy. Most weighted golf clubs cost between $80-$100, and this portable little weight is only $30. Now what golfer wouldn't spend this amount for more yards?

The great thing is the portability factor AND you use it on YOUR OWN CLUB.@import url(http://www.golflink.com/community/js /rte/);

To hit longer golf drives you must make a full shoulder turn in your backswing. But...a full shoulder turn might not be as hard as you think, but you've got to do it a certain way to achieve it. What's becoming more prevalent on tour is golfers not getting their clubs parallel at the top of their backswing.

Look at guys like Zac Johnson. He is a long hitter of the ball, but does not even get close to parallel even with his driver. He is very accurate, and does not mi#@!$ too many shots during his rounds.

So don't try to get your arms so HIGH in your backswing to get to that parallel position. Once you realize you can most definitely achieve a 90 degree shoulder, you'll soon experience the proper height for your hands, and ultimately  your club at the top of your backswing.

Driving the ball LONG is a challenge for many golfers. A power golf tip for your driver that will really make a difference is to hit the ball in the upswing for maximum launch angle, carry and ultimately distance.

One critical component to hitting the ball on the upswing is to have your ball placement more forward than normal. What I mean, is if you are a right-handed golfer, the ball should be directly off the inside of your left heel. This will allow you to turn fully behind the ball, and return to the ball, while staying behind it and hitting up on the ball.

Too many golfers play the ball center, and the bottom of your swing arc with this ball placement is actually IN FRONT of the ball, which promotes a downward blow on the ball, totally eliminating any hope of an optimal launch angle for maximum distance.

So next time you want to HIT IT LONG with maximum power, tee the ball off your inside heel of your front foot, and feel like you are sweeping (or hitting up) on the ball. You will be quite satisfied as your carry will be much further than normal.

In golf, there is ONE moment that is the telltale to power, distance and accuracy.

I-M-P-A-C-T

Impact is the critical position that dictates your outcome in golf! I know many golf instructors will say impact is a result, or that impact happens in a split second, and that you can't practice it as a static position, but I would disagree.

One of the first times I studied the golf impact position I was shocked at how far off I was. My hips, shoulders and even my chest were WAY OFF!

I do feel strongly that you can study the pros and get in front of your mirror and get into the very same position to get a "feel" of what it should be. I think you'll experience the same thing I did. You'll find out you are not even close to what it should be.

Here are some KEY points to achieve a power golf impact position:
1) Keep head behind ball, not ahead of it.
2) Hips should be open.
3) Shoulders square to slightly open.
4) Hands ahead of ball except for driver.
5) Feel like you are smothering the ball with your clubface (irons only - not driver).
6) Right elbow point to right hip.

Apply some of these power golf tips and watch your distance go up quickly!
