Long Drive Swing - How Professional Golfers Do It



golf clubs

If you are looking to take a long driving swing, this is the right spot. This article will focus on the European Long Drive Games (PGA Tour) and the PGA Tour. Jason Zuback and Tim Burke are two examples of golfers who have excelled in this sport. Learn how they do it, and how you can improve.

PGA Tour

Professional golfers use a certain swing technique to get long drives. Unlike the average golfer, they do not use special golf balls or equipment. They use standard-sized clubheads, which comply with USGA regulations. These golfers use a driver measuring 48 inches in length. Adding 2.5 to 3 inches can increase distance, but will make the club harder to control.

European Long Drive Games

European Long Drive Association, (ELDA) supports this sport. Its mission is to make long-distance driving a mainstream sport. It is a patron for the International Long Drive. ELDA has a network that includes executive members from countries like the UK, Sweden, Finland, and other European countries.

Jason Zuback

A golfer must be able to produce enough speed and energy to hit a long drive. Jason Zuback, a professional golfer who has been making headlines for hitting the longest drive in golf competitions, is no stranger to high-speed swings. Zuback was so good at driving a golf ball that he was invited for a Sports Illustrated photo shoot. He also holds the record of the longest driving distance on a course (520 meters), and he has even been known to drive a golf ball over an airplane runway (714 metres). He achieved these incredible distances by combining his ball speed and clubhead.

Tim Burke

Tim Burke's long driving swing incorporates proper technique with a thorough warmup. This ensures a long ride. Long-drive players should focus on clearing the hips and extending the right leg before swinging the club. A long-drive player should keep their right heel near the ground and fire both arms and fingers.

Saber

The Saber long drive swing is very popular with golfers. It's a great tool to develop long drives. This club improves your ability to release energy and athletic timing. You might experience slice, chunks, or other common mistakes in your golf swing.


Square Grip

To improve your long driving grip, try a square grip. This grip allows you to bend your arm slightly at impact. The surface texture of a square grip should be firm enough to support your hand while you swing. A square grip works better to control your ball flight while avoiding slice.

Rotational Power

Rotational power is more important than sliding when it comes to long drives. This technique will increase the speed of your limbs and improve the distance your ball can travel. However, it can be difficult for athletes to develop their rotational power. The debate regarding the effectiveness of rotating power training is similar the debate about weight training benefits for golfers.

Chop power

The Rotational Chop is a powerful technique that builds awareness of your body in space and generates explosive power. It is used by golf champion Michelle Wie West, who turned pro at 16 and is famous for her 300-yard drives. She has won five professional championships and made forays into professional men's events. The core and developing the chop motion generate chop power.

Vertical Thrust

A long drive swing is made up of two parts, the downswing as well as the vertical thrust. The push force moves from the upper back to the left arm through the downswing. The hitter pushes along both the clubshaft's back and the spoke that is radially oriented.

Release

Long Drives are when the golfer draws power from the ground by using his arms or hands to pull it out. He presses his left leg into the ground to release power. The golfer releases his left hand when his left heel hits the ground.
