While you may never drive the ball as far as John Daly, quite possibly the Tour s longest driver, you can generate additional power off the tee and improve your golf handicap by developing a sounder technique.

Point your left toe slightly toward target (for right-handers)
Hover the clubhead above the ball
Don t rush the back swing
Hit hard with your right hand
Take advantage of playing elements.
