The long straight drive will get your ball onto the fairway and set you up for a great shot at the hole. Many people can handle the long drive, but have problems with the straight part. If you, too, are having problems with the straight drive, here are some tips to get you back on track.

1) When practicing your drive on the range and the course, make a mental list of tips and check each off as you set up.

2) Remember to keep your lead foot straight; the ball will move in that direction every time

3) Support the drive with your dominant hand while letting the non-dominant hand do the guiding to avoid overpowering your own swing

4) Hitting the ball with the center of the driver will keep the driver moving in a straight line, rather than at an angle, keeping your drive straight and clean
