Should your golf driver swing be different than normal?


Many players think that their golf driver swing should be different than the swing they make with their other irons. It could be the fact that it's the club that you normally hit the furthest, and they feel you should move the hardest at to make the ball fly as far as you possibly can.

The fact of the matter is that almost all instructors will tell you there should be no difference in the way you swing golf clubs and drivers. They should be hit as close to the same as possible. I know that sometimes when you're standing on the tee looking to bomb a drive down the fairway it seems almost impossible to do. But guess what that's half the battle when it comes to the golf swing.

Why hitting a golf driver is all a mental game

If you compare golf driver and iron there are some huge differences in the way they look and feel. That is not a thing we can dispute but what you have to remember is, that you are trying to do the same thing with both pieces of equipment. One of the hardest things about the game of golf is repeating the same golf swing under all different conditions. Whether you're hitting a golf driver into the wind on a long par 5 or chipping sand wedge onto the green the thought and swing process remain practically the same.

Most coaches and instructors will give you simple golf instructions. Hitting the driver should be no different than hitting any other club in your bag. (putters excluded) That's it.

Getting an effective golf swing with a driver

The one thing that I may suggest to help you with your tee shots is to get the proper equipment. What we mean by that is to make sure that your driver is fitted properly to your individual swing. Ask your local professional if they can custom fit your equipment or find out where they suggest you can go to get this done properly. This alone should make a huge difference in your golf driver swing. Alot of the online retailers will also offer custom help if you’re looking to purchase new equipment.
