What can you do to increase your distance off the tee? Focusing your golf swing on hitting the ball in the center of the club face - center contact - will give you the maximum distance for your swing and clubhead speed. Understanding where you currently make contact can help you make the adjustments necessary to optimize your driver distance. How Can You Tell Where You are Contacting the Ball? Club manufacturers and club fitters use "impact tape" stuck to the club face of 712 cb irons to determine where you are contacting the ball. Check with your local PGA Pro and ask to use some impact tape if you want to check your impact location. Make Your Own Budget Strike Detector Or you can create your own "budget" impact detector with a range ball and a sharpie or magic marker. Just make a pea-sized dot on the range ball and align your ball on the tee so that the dot is directly in the back. Hit the ball with titleist 712 cb irons, and a mark will transfer to your driver face. Presto! You'll know exactly how far away from center you are making contact. Make Set-Up or Golf Swing Adjustments to Improve Center Contact Consistency The next step is to make whatever adjustments to your set-up or swing with 913 titleist driver needed to make better center contact. Sometimes it will be as simple as moving closer or farther from the ball at address. Other times you may need to make a swing adjustment. Set-up adjustments are far easier to incorporate than swing changes, so that's a great place to start. If you need to make a swing change, try taking your specific issue to a PGA Pro. You'll improve much faster than trial and error on your own. Summary Learning how to hit your drives in the center of the club face of 913 d3 driver for slae can improve your driving distance. You can quickly check your impact tendencies with impact tape, or a simple magic marker and a range ball. Knowing where you make contact on the clubface can help you determine whether you need a golf swing change or a set-up change. If you are off by 3/4 of an inch or more, you could pick up an additional 20 to 40 yards off the tee by working on improving your contact position. |
