Tips and Tricks for 300+ Yard Tee Shots

There are many golfers who believe they will never be able to hit long bomb tee shots like the professionals for a myriad of different reasons such as being too old or not being fast enough, many golf tutors have been able to successfully teach how to take a tee shot that goes 300 yards or more with plenty of different golfers of varying ages and abilities.

There are many basic changes you can make to your tee shots that can magically begin to pile on the power and distance of your drives which can slowly start getting closer to the goal. One of the first things to get addressed is the stance; you will need to have a wider stance than other shots such as iron shots and have the ball fairly far forward, preferably in line with your leading foot.

With the ball addressed in the correct position you can begin to practice your back swing, drivers will be used on a ball that is elevated on a tee which means we can't ‘pinch' the ball like we would with other shots, the only trouble is that this is where a lot of our power comes from. To make up for this drivers have a longer shaft which allows for a longer swing that allows us to gather significant club head speed when we hit the ball.

When taking our back swing we should be aiming to put more of our body weight on to the back foot and try to maintain this throughout the shot, if we don't then we may not get the required loft and our tee shots are not going to go as far as we'd want. The down swing should be helped along by the rotation of our core; some golfers can try to add a bit more spice by allowing their hands to break as they make contact with the ball. This can alter the launch angle of your drive which again can have an undesired effect on your tee shot distances.

As you follow through some people may fall back slightly as their body weight being on the right foot and the swinging motion can throw you off balance, this is fine as the ball will have already left the club face by this point during your swing and be headed forward with the right angle and power.

Obviously you won't suddenly be hitting 300yd+ drives initially but by bearing these tips in mind when you step up to the tee then you will slowly start to increase the yardage of your tee shots as you progress and become a stronger golfer.
