hi there what exercises can i do at home to get more distance with my driver? because i get good distace with my irons,but with driverr and my 3wood i stuggle to get good distance. i playyy with a King Cobra drivver so it is not n cheap driver..

Whats your longest iron and its distance, and what's your driver distance?

If you get good distance with your irons, then your driving swing has issues, and your loosing power somewere. Basically, physical strength doesn't change from iron swing to driver swing, the problem is the driver swing.

Check out TPI, they have some good golf related exercises

longest iron is a 4. and my driver distance is about 210m to 230m. my 4iron i can hit it 200m,and with my driver that is a 9deg i hit it very high with a fade so that decreases my range.

Loosing distance big time on the driver, From the sounds of it, it looks like your hitting on a very steep angle of attack with the driver, but that is all i can tell you from what you have given me. If you want better advice, post your swing

    • Day 355: more mirror work. Worked on some feels to get shaft lean without such extreme forward body movement. 
    • Yes, agree that there should be more TV coverage. I think the fact that they don't have the swing speed of their male counterparts makes it (slightly) more relatable, in that the rough is more of a penalty and the lack of distance means they are often pulling longer irons or lumber to get home on par fives. I think this season has been a bit tough on the LPGA to build much of a narrative with no one winning more than one tournament. And you could argue that they didn't really make hay with Nelly's run of wins, which should have been crowding out Caitlin Clark for female sports story of last year. One piece that they need to fix is the slow play - I would argue there is less player power compare to PGAT, so I don't understand why they aren't hitting the repeat offenders with stroke penalties. They have taken some strides in that respect this season, so let's hope Kessler continues the momentum.
    • Day 70 (10 Jul 25) - Weekly 9 hole round - changed up the clubs as I used the MaCGregor blades and Penna persimmons.  These clubs require focused contact - so it was a day of working on tempo and making consistent contact.  Overall it was a good session of working on these areas.
