How does a Pro golfer generate club head driver speed.?
353887
Pro golfers generate clubhead speed through technique which combines body rotation, armswing and wrist snap or rotation, and they've worked to put the three together to create the incredible clubhead speeds they generate.\n\nOf course, it's impossible to give a real answer to your question, since I've not played with you and haven't seen you swing, but from the tone of your question, I would look at two things to start -\n\nFirst, when you're driving from a tee, the ball should be a little bit forward in your stance, and the clubhead should be level or starting on its upward arc when you strike the ball.  If the ball is back and the clubhead is still on its downward arc, you're going to lose a great deal of driving distance.\n\nSecond, you need to make sure that you hit *through* the ball and complete your swing.  If you are only swinging *to* the ball, you're going to be slowing down your swing before the clubhead reaches the ball, resulting in lost distance.  You need to take a full swing, and just let the ball get in the way.

Practice on your swing to maximize on your distance.\n\nIf you land on the rough, every time you swing...let's say a 300 yard driver, even you it as hard as possible, you're only using 60% of the club's max distance. So using a driver in the rough will only give you a max of 180 yards.\n\nAs for in the sand, you're only using 75% potential or 225 yards. Basically you need to do lots of math when using your clubs in order to get your game in the 80s.

There is no easy way, the correct way is with a proper golf swing. This is achieved through hours and hours of practice and lessons with a golf professional.

Distance comes from clubhead speed and timing.  If you try to overswing, you will usually mess up your timing.\nHere's one key that will increase clubhead speed:  Hold out your right hand (if you are right-handed), palm up - then quickly flip it over to see the back of your hand.  This is the motion that occurs in your wrists as your hands move the clubhead through the hit zone.  The more quickly they flip, the more it adds to clubhead speed.  Go to the range and practice timing of this at 3/4 swing. The longer you hold back from turning your wrists over, the more snap you get as your hands go through the hit zone.  You will find that it is almost impossible for the wrists to go through too late.  Once you get the timing down, go to a full swing.  If I'm playing in front of you, please remember to wait until I'm out of range...\n\nAlso, considering all the money a golfer spends on greens fees and equipment.  A few tune-up lessons are not really that expensive in comparison and can add alot to your enjoyment of the game.

Several suggestions for how to improve your game off the tee.\n\n1) Try using a 3-wood instead of a driver. For most high handicap golfers the difference in distance is not a big change, but the accuracy and consistency improve dramatically.\n\n2) Slow and steady on the back swing. While you need to get the club in motion, having a fast backswing just screws up your balance. Practice by taking the club back very slowly and you will see quick improvement.\n\n3) Let the club do the work! Overswinging will only result in topping the ball or having a wicked slice or hook. Establishing a nice easy rythmn will give you the most consistent swing.

I an, I'd really like to see your ball flight. I'd imagine you're hitting the ball with your driver very low and it's rolling most of the 240 yards. \n\nThe most important thing for irons is clubhead speed and ball position. The ball has got to be in the middle of your stance, not back towards your right toe (for a righty). And then you have to generate sufficient clubhead speed, at least 85 MPH, with a good strike on the ball that should get pretty decent distance. \n\nIf you can't swing at least 85 MPH with a 5 iron (have your swing speed measured at a Golf Galaxy or other store) then you might want to look into a hybrid set of irons that have large soles to help get the ball up. \n\nGood luck!

There is a golf ball for each type of player.  Better players want more spin and control.  Most of the better and expensive balls have this, and they usually go about the same distance off of the driver.\n\nMediocre players(like me) usually want balls with a little less spin, which promotes hooks and slices.  Also price is a big factor since most mediocre players lose some balls during play.\n\nAnd there are also balls made for people with a slower swing speed. These tend to be softer balls.\n\nAccording to tests done by Consumer Reports, best balls for low handicappers include:\n-Nike One Black\n-Callaway HX Tour\n-Titliest Pro V1 and Pro V1x\n-Ben Hogan Tour Deep\n\nMid to high handicappers include:\n-Nike Power Distance Super Soft(Ranked very high and also affordable)\n-Callaway HX Hot\n-Pinnacle Gold Distance\n-Pinnacle Exception\n\nFor Lower Swing Speeds:\n-Titleist SoLo (Which I like cause I don't really lose distance off the tee, but it is soft around the green. Also I have a normal swing speed)\n-Precept Lady\n-Pinnacle Exception\n\nI say just try different balls that you feel suits your game. It will make a difference.

Try to use stiff shaft, I used to use Regular shaft but after I have changed the shaft to stiff, I can hit it much \nfurther than before and also straighter, so go can change your shaft immediately.\nHAPPY GOLFING!

It's been said that the driver is the second most important club in your bag-- next to your putter. A good drive sets the tone for the rest of the hole. Will you be scrambling just to get back on the fairway, hoping for pars and bogeys-- or will you be aggressively going for the green and for birdies? \n\nBy squeezing a few extra yards out of those drives, the subsequent iron shot will be that much easier, as will your chips, putts, and so on. \n\n1. Body Coil - Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and other greats generate tremendous power by coiling the upper body with a big shoulder turn. The hips, however, don't turn nearly as much. This creates tension and torque, not unlike a rubber band being stretched before it's let go. How do you accomplish it? Try to keep the right leg and knee solid as you take the club away and fully rotate your shoulders. On the downswing, unwind and rotate through the ball with your hips. Make sure your navel is facing the target at the end of the swing to ensure a full turn. \n\n2. Developing a "Lag" - Successful drivers all have a "lag" in their swing. On the downswing, the wrists must release their energy at some point. When this happens is key. The closer to impact with the ball, the more stored power there will be. Many golfers deliver this source of power near the top of the swing or early on the way down, and end up swinging with just arms at contact. This is commonly called "casting"--the opposite of lag. One drill to improve this is to cock your wrists at the top of the backswing so that there's a right angle between your arm and club. Pull the club down in slow motion, while doing your best to retain this angle. Try to incorporate this into your full swings, and remember to release those wrists through the ball! \n\n3. Swinging with the Whole Body - Some of the biggest muscles in your body are the upper legs and trunk, and you should use them to put power in your swing. On the downswing, your legs should begin the drive and the trunk begins the turn. Also, the bigger muscles have much less chance to twitch under pressure than do the smaller ones. This is why good swingers seem to move effortlessly--the small muscles are being led by the larger ones. This is called "swinging with the whole body." Try it! \n\n4. Left Arm Straight at the Top - Make sure your left arm is kept relatively straight on the backswing to ensure a wide swing arc. Keep some distance between the hands at the top of the swing and your shoulders and head. This produces more club head speed without swinging any harder. Davis Love III and Vijay Singh are great examples of this. Watch them, and internalize what you see!

i doubt it...they may claim to but the club head is moving around 110+ mph  at the point of impact\ni see the clubhead strike the ball very well when i putt

This is really easy, let's take a shot from 150 yards as an example. Normally I would hit a 9 iron from this distance. Now if I wanted to hit it lower I would take out a 7-iron and take my normal stance, but I would grip down on the handle of the club about 1.5 inches, then I would make my normal swing, the shot should come out lower and with less spin, so it will cut through the wind and run a bit when it hits the ground. \n\nHope this helps!

Yes, it's the volume of the driver or woods that the club head encompasses what every inside (form, empty spaces). Try the link below and move a bit around to understand what's in a driver, and clubs.

Many people have told you to work on your ability to walk.  (Actually 7,000 yards is close to 4 miles).\n\nI agree that you need to be in cardovacular shape to do that part.\n\nWhat is often not realized by beginning players is the amount of strength you need to play golf.  Particullarly abs, glutes, shoulders and lower back.  Do weigth training to do build these muscles, without losing you flexability.  To do this, high reps with low weights.  You are going to have 72 explosive motions over 4-5 hours.  (Okay I usuually have closer to 90 explosive motions.)\n\nTalk to your coach amount specifics.

If you can you should got take a lesson from a PGA pro. If you cant afford it i'll give a tip from my lesson. Your swing should go around your body, not your head. Second, on back swing, wieght on your right foot (if your right handed) and coming back down your wieght should be on front foot.Third, at all times have your wieght should be on your toes and not your heels. Fourth, throughout the swing don't slide your body right and left, try to keep it center. Last when your coming down to hit the ball, don't accelerate too early, becuase if you do you're ball will either slice or hook.
