How to Hit a Golf Ball Far

Enter your backswing. Having a proper backswing is essential to creating maximum clubhead speed. Clubhead speed will lead to increased distance. When bringing the club back, don't be jerky, but rather be as smooth as possible. Try to swing in the proper plane to make a fluid swing through the ball. This will lead to shots that are hit properly and that will travel the maximum distance. Having hinges in your swing will cause more mis-hits and bad shots. Keep your swing as fluid as possible.

Create clubhead speed. Increasing clubhead speed is essential to increasing distance on all of your golf shots. Increased clubhead speed can be produced through a long backswing. Also, physical strength is necessary to create faster clubhead speed. When swinging the club, do not be out of control, but swing smoothly. It will benefit you in the long run, and you will be much more consistent. Increasing physical strength and having a strong, long golf swing to increase your clubhead speed are essential.

Increase physical strength. Increasing physical strength will give a golfer the ability to hit the ball a greater distance without making any specific changes to his or her swing. It is vital to be in peak condition to have optimum distance on all shots. A simple weight workout strengthening the core, arms and shoulders would be extremely beneficial for distance.

Start your hip motion. When swinging clubs, remember to have rotation in your hips going toward your target and also moving your weight forward. This will help to give more power to your swing by allowing your momentum to help you through the ball. The motion will increase the speed of your clubhead and will create easier, longer shots.
