hello welcome to videojug
America's stronger levena touring
professional and now the head teacher at
Las Navas golf club I'm going to show
you how to hit long and straight drive
to increase the distance and accuracy of
your drives the most important factors
are to have a perfect setup to swing by
rotating your body and to keep the
muscles in your arms and hands relaxed
throughout the swing step one they're
set up take your normal setup and make
sure that the aim is good with your
shoulders parallel to the target lean
your upper body slightly to the right
behind the ball so it will be easier to
turn your body and shift your weight to
your right foot in the backswing for a
more powerful position you can measure
the angle of your upper body by holding
a club against you one hand on your
chest and one on your belt lean forwards
until the club passes between your legs
then lean to the right until the club
touches the inside of your left leg
step to the swing it is very important
to keep your muscles relaxed as you
swing as a relaxed muscle is faster than
a tense one start your backswing with a
simultaneous rotation of your hips and
upper body turning them fully as you
complete it to ensure sufficient upper
body rotation maintain the triangle
shape between your arms until halfway
through your backswing this ensures you
swing in a wide arc so the ball travels
further think about throwing a ball
outstretched arm would send it a lot
further than if it was closed into your
body at the moment the club strikes the
ball your shoulders should be back
parallel to the target like it's set up
so that the club approaches the ball in
a straight line and meet its square on
this way the motion of your arms and
hands accelerates the club head through
impact with all the power of the swing
focused through the ball in a direct
line with the target dispatching it as
fast and as straight as possible a
common mistake when attempting a long
drive is to start the downswing before
completing the backswing when this
happens the shoulders are open at impact
and the club head hits across the ball
from the outside resulting in a short
drive sliced to the right to find out
more see our videos why we slice the
ball and avoid slicing there is hardly
any better feeling than when your drive
flies at long and straight down the
middle of the fairway so bask in the
afterglow of your success as you walk
tall and proud to your second shot
perfect the videojug way
