GOLF PRO TIPS 3 TIPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR GOLF GAME. In order to maximize your distance with a driver, it is important to set up consistently and properly. e ball position should be set up on the instep of your lead foot. is will allow the club to swing up on the ball, increas- ing the launch angle and minimizing the spin rate. Another important aspect to note is the slight opening of the front foot. By "flar- ing" your front foot, you will be able to rotate your legs, hips and chest towards the target with less tension and greater range of motion. Following these steps will allow you to hit it farther without physically swinging any harder. e key to executing a proper chip shot is to make sure your hands are leading the way. Most amateurs will try to help the ball in the air by flipping the club at the ball, allowing the clubhead to pass their hands. To avoid this, the ball should be played in the middle of your stance and a majority of your weight on your lead foot. By setting up with your lead arm and sha in one continuous line (red line), your hands will now rest on the front side of the golf ball. e goal now is to gently rock your shoulders and return to the same position at impact as your set up. is will ensure that the club- head does not pass your hands as well as a downward angle of attack, resulting in clean contact on the golf ball.
