The Driver
If you happen to be a newbie at golf, like everyone is at one time, the driver is called the 1 wood or referred to as the big dog. It is such a fun club because you can swing away and hit the ball as far as you can.
You can be Happy Gilmore if you want to try. That is the alure of the driver and the names.
There are so many names for it, but it is the club that you are supposed to hit first most of the times and should go the furthest.
It has a long shaft with a round end that used to be made of wood, which is how it got its name. Now they are usually made with some sort of meta.
However, the driver is one of the most difficult clubs to hit. Because of the loft of the club, which goes down the lower the club number gets, the spin created by the face of the driver causes the ball to go left to right more than the other clubs with different lofts.
This is why the club is harder to hit than any of the other clubs. The loft of a club determines how much spin and in what direction that spin goes to.
The driver produces a lot of right and left spin on the ball so it is harder to hit the ball straight than using another club with a higher loft.
When To Hit Your Driver
So you gone out and bought a driver. The first thing you want to do is go to the range and start hitting it.
Drivers feel weird and uncomfortable at first. The only way to get past that is to hit golf balls as much as possible.
After you spend some time on the range, you are ready to go out on the course and hit away.
But do you hit your driver on every hole? Of course not. There are hole that are two short like par 3 holes that are less yards than your driver can go.
Also, there are times when you should not hit your driver. If you are on a hole that is really tight or there is water in around you, put your driver away and hit a club that you are certain will clear the hazard or not go into the woods.
This is probably the biggest mistake that newbies make.
Don't be so concerned about how far you can hit the ball, just be concerned about how straight you can hit it.
Tips To Properly Use Your Driver
Here are a few tips that can help you properly use your driver. It can be the best club in your bag or the worse. Usually a driver is not in the middle.
