Introduction

Getting it right at the driving range can help your game out significantly.  That's why this article on driving range tips was written.  To help people correct their swing and hit the ball in a more consistent manner.


Driving Range

Slow the Swing Down Too

Another one of the driving range tips that can truly help is to slow down your swing.  This can actually give you greater momentum than if you try to kill the ball.  It provides for better follow through as it gives you a better flow on your swing.  If you do this at the driving range and get used to it, it will become natural in your game as well.

Work with a Friend

One of the best driving range tips that I have discovered is, try to go with a friend who has a fairly good swing.  You can help each other out but observing each other's swings and make the appropriate corrections as necessary.  If a friend is unavailable try to work with another player that is next to you.  This one is a little trickier as some people like to keep to themselves.  But it doesn't hurt to ask and you may even get some new friends this way as well.

Let's Go to The Video Tape!

One other of the driving range tips that most people don't take advantage of, is to set up a video camera on a tripod and record your entire session.  This can get tricky as to where to put the camera but if you can make it work it can really help you later observe and try to correct the bad areas of your game.  I think driving ranges are missing a business opportunity by not providing this feature for their customers.  They could even charge for the video as part of the service.

Conclusions

These driving range tips can extend out to your regular game.  It's important to keep at it and if things still aren't working well, seek a professional instructor.  An instructor can observe what you are doing and guide you on the proper ways to swing a ball.  If you take the advice of video taping your sessions at the range, you can show it to your instructor as well.  All of this will truly leap frog your swing and help improve your game and enhance your enjoyment as well.
