What Hinders You From Hitting Long Drives Will Shock You
Hitting long golf drives is the desire of every golfer when they are on the course.
Sadly many fail to achieve this objective most of the time and the best game in the world which you are supposed to enjoy enormously, instead ends up being a very frustrating experience.
Yet hitting long golf drives need not be so difficult to achieve. Actually the greatest hindrance to your hitting long golf drives is you.
You are the greatest hindrance to your hitting long golf drives, because if you are like most golfers, you are always trying to hit the ball as hard as you possibly can.
In a pure physics situation this would be the correct approach except that in golf there are some variables that work together to dramatically change the situation.
To start with, every golf club is cleverly designed and crafted to hit the ball over a certain distance. So the best advice to start with is to trust the club you are using for hitting long golf drives to do its� job, because it is designed to do just that.
All you have to do is make sure that the club connects the ball at the correct angle to achieve the
distance you desire. That is the physics of a golfer. Of course this means that your golf swing technique has to be correct and effective.
The second variable that changes things is your body. If your muscles are not conditioned and prepared for hitting long golf drives then it is unlikely that you will get the results you want no matter how hard you try to hit the ball.
In a way it is similar to lifting weights. If you have not trained to lift a certain heavy weight, then no matter how hard you try, it is unlikely that you will be able to lift it.
You will need to go back to the gym and exercise and prepare by gradually lifting heavier and heavier weights until you reach the particular weight that you desire to lift. It is exactly the same when it comes to hitting long golf drives.
