You may not know, Golfer Karl Cooper is the person who has the longest golf shot in the world, reaching 787 yards in 1992 at the Texas Open tournament.
To hit the ball far, not only power but also technique is needed, from ball placement, club selection and club contact. Below are some notes for golfers to hit the golf ball the longest standard from experts:
1. Ideal Ball Position: When you use a driver, place the ball further away and parallel to the left heel. Move the ball to the right when using a short club.
2. Choose the Right Club: A driver with a length of about 45 - 46 inches is the optimal choice for long shots.
3. Hitting the Center of the Club: All the power must be concentrated in the center of the club to get the ball to fly far and consistently.
4. Swing Technique: Backswing and downswing at the right time is the key. The body and club must move in harmony to create maximum power.
5. Body Movement: Body weight is properly distributed through the legs and the hips rotate at the right time to increase distance.
6. Maintain Width: When swinging the club, keeping the width helps maintain power to ensure the ball travels far.
7. Downswing Technique: Creating lag in the downswing helps increase speed and power.
For professional golfers or beginners, in addition to proper technique, regular practice is essential to make long and accurate shots.
