The very best shot off the tee is one that imparts little backspin to the ball, has a low trajectory, and has enough power to continue rolling once it hits the ground. If you can get all that happening, you will be hitting the ball longer and straighter, and your game will improve significantly.

Don’t worry if you’re not hitting the ball straight right now, you can learn all the skills in my free report that I’ll tell you about soon.

The first thing to learning how to hit a golf ball straight is to understand the importance of leverage throughout the entire swing. To achieve proper leverage, keep your head behind the golf ball from your setup, right through to impact.

The second important issue is that distance comes from club head speed than brute strength. Golfers who try to muscle their way through the shot will almost always end up with a poorly hit ball. It is the hips and legs that generate speed and power, not the arms.

When using other clubs, there is some flexibility when it comes to swing path, but not with the driver. As you begin your backswing, it is important to keep the swing plane low.

Another consideration when learning how to hit a golf ball straight is to have your hands lead the club head at impact. This is what people mean when they say to “let your wrists break”.

Many golfers make the mistake of trying to suddenly stop their swing once they hit the ball. The best way to avoid that, is to let your arms and body move all the way through the swing, including the follow through.

Another key to learning how to hit a golf ball straight is to ensure you have a loose grip on the club.  Concentrate on whipping the golf ball with the club rather than chopping at it.

If slicing the ball is a problem you face, try to slow your downswing. You may be coming down too fast or too hard, causing you to come out of the proper swing path. Another tip to stop a golf slice is to examine your grip. If you cannot see two or three knuckles when looking down at your grip, there is a good chance you will hit a slice.

This same grip tip will also apply to those who hook the ball. When you look down at your grip and see more than two or three knuckles, your grip is going to change at impact and cause you to hook the ball.

One last tip for learning how to hit a golf ball straight is to make sure you are not pulling or pushing the ball. This can happen whether you are coming off the tee or hitting off the fairway.

You will be able to tell if you are pulling or pushing the ball by checking the divot that’s left behind. If the divot is pointing to the left or right of your target line, it is because your body is not properly aligned.
