One of the most helpful and needed golf swing tips is trying to get more out of your drive. Every golfer would love to put more distance into their shot. It takes more than simply hitting harder. There is technique involved to getting a solid shot to drive the ball further downrange. This golf swing tip can help you with the distance you hit the golf ball.

A very simple tip on helping you get that extra yardage out of your drives is to learn to turn your shoulders during the backswing.

You will have a much better chance of hitting the ball longer if you learn to turn your shoulders during the backswing. Stretch your torso and make it a goal to get your left shoulder to be positioned over the right foot when you have reached the top of your swing.

For those if you who have tried this and are having trouble moving your shoulders through enough on the backswing, you can turn your left knee clockwise, just enough so that it is pointing behind the ball during the backswing. This will help free up the hips and aid in turning your shoulders enough.

To help increase the flexibility needed to extend your shoulders during the backswing, pay attention to your grip. Too much tension with your hands can cause the chest and forearms to tighten up, which lessens the speed of your arms.
