Distance is what golfers want more than anything else, especially off the tee. But every player has a certain distance potential, and hitting the ball with the middle of the clubface is the No.1 key to getting there. Here, Butch Harmon shares his best advice on making a powerful swing without sacrificing control. He also shares what some of the game’s best drivers work on.

What is consistency? For most golfers, it means consistent contact with the ball. Butch calls it “club-ball contact,” meaning the clubface strikes the ball on a descending path (with the irons) and continues to the low point of the swing a few inches past impact. In this video, Butch Harmon demonstrates the keys to making solid contact, and shares a few of his favorite drills.

Amateurs miss shots left and right in various ways—a pull or hook to the left, a push or slice to the right. These misses might seem random and unrelated, but they aren’t. The trick to fixing your worst shots is to identify the root cause of the problem and then apply a simple correction. Butch Harmon discusses common mis-hits and how to eliminate them from your game.

One reason you go to the driving range is to try to fix a problem, but another is for general improvement, expanding your arsenal of shots. Good players hit draws and fades on command and have control over their shots. Yet another reason to visit the range is to warm up before a round. In this video, Butch Harmon shows you how to practice and how to get ready to play.
