Very amateur here... I hit some balls at the range last night and couldn't drive more than 200 yards. I'm going to blame it on my $50 garage sale clubs. I was shooting most balls straight. What's the key to getting more distance?

Or find save some cash, wait to see when a local club is doing a demo day with a pro on site to see your swing mechanics so he can recommend the club characteristics which are best for you. |

If you don't use your body and motion more than just your arms, you'll never be a long hitter.

Why? First, he played golf day after day for years and built up a very specific strength, but most importantly, his swing sequencing was much bette than mine. My shoulder turn was far too flat and I didn't rotate my forearms properly. As a result, I would spin out on the downswing, wipe across the ball, and couldn't release the club with my arms (because a lack of forearm rotation would cause a hook off the Earth if I did). As I've worked on fixing that, my 7-iron distance has gone from 155 to 175, despite the fact that I haven't lifted seriously in a decade. Watch this video for more explanation: Ground forces also make a big difference, but that's too difficult for a new golfer to attempt |

What are those other woods, Taylor Made? I've been looking at the Sim irons as possibly buying this winter. |
