There's two key points that make a successful drive.

The first element of your golf drive you'll want to master is distance. Accuracy is the second key element for improving your drive.

Here's seven top tips for driving that golf ball more accurately and farther down the fairway.

Tip one: Let the driver work for you. Golf clubs are designed to help you hit the ball with precision and force. It makes sense to take advantage of that. Yet, often beginners think that they have to whack the ball as hard as possible in order to drive it fast and far. A tip often given to beginners is to forget about the power of your swing. Focus on hitting the center of the ball with a nice even stroke. This allows the body to perform a more natural swing, which will allow your driver to do its thing.

Tip two: Visualize the swing. Gain confidence in executing the shot by visualizing the ball heading straight as an arrow down the course as you make a couple of practice swings. Concentrate on feeling a nice smooth, steady swing. Play the shot over in your head first You'll gain confidence before actually striking the ball.

Tip three: Shorten your backswing. You should get better results from shortening your backswing, than going for the big hit. A good rule of measure is about a three-quarter length backswing; turning your body and bending your wrists naturally. Taking your backswing too far back actually gives you less control, which ends up with more missed shots.

Tip four: Keep your swing foot on the ground. Many golfers haven't been taught the correct positioning of their anchor foot. For right-handed golfers, your anchor foot is your right foot, and for left-handed golfers, your left foot acts as your anchor foot. When driving the ball, you want to be sure to not lift that foot too early during your golf swing. By keeping this foot down longer, it allows more power to flow through your swing, and keeps your body behind the ball. The next time you watch a pro like Tiger Woods hit the ball, notice how long he keeps his anchor foot on the ground.

Tip five: Don't forget about your arms. A lot of times, most of the emphasis is placed on your feet position, or trunk stability. We forget about the role the arms play in your swing. To improve consistency in your drive, try this tip. Swing the club as you normally would by going into your backswing, and then following through with the forward swing. Don't stop there though. Take the swing back into a backswing, and swing the club forward again. Repeat this back-and-forth motion five to 10 times and then take a rest. Practicing this exercise will consistently increase your accuracy.

Tip six: Swing with a shirt on your club. This is an old trick taught by many professional golf driving instructors. Hanging a shirt on your club helps you slow down your swing. Swinging the driver too fast is probably the number one cause for slicing or hooking the ball. Swing as you normally would with a natural fluid motion. Combine this with Tip number one, and you should notice a difference in the distance you hit after only a few weeks.

Tip seven: Lower your swing gradually. Trying to hit the golf ball the same way you swing a baseball bat won't work, but gradually lowering your swing will help increase distance. Take your driver and start by practicing some slow baseball type swings. The swing of the club should be just above the waist as if you were hitting a baseball. Gradually increase the force of the swing as if you're going to hit that baseball into outer centerfield. Then slowly lower the height of that swing until the head of the club is just touching the ground. Practice this tip, and you'll be driving that ball ahead of your buddies in no time.

And remember the most important thing about these golf driving tips. None of them will work if you don't practice, and then practice some more. Golfing is great fun and provides plenty of exercise. Enjoy hitting that little white ball farther and more accurately on your next trip to the golf course.

Callaway.

Big Bertha Irons have been helping golfers hit their shots longer and farther for many years. Designed for phenomenal turf interaction, Callaway Big Bertha Irons set the standard for the ultimate in forgiveness. Watch your game improve with these beauties.

Yes. You still have to practice. We don't think you'll mind that at all though!

Callaway golf core technologies took the extra step when designing the Big Bertha irons. Extreme notch weighting redistributes the weight of your swing to the perimeter of the club allowing a higher moment of inertia. This allows you to hit with that sweet spot more often. There VFT technology maximizes the speed of the ball for longer hits from tee to hole.

What makes the X-22 irons so special you ask. Well, Callaway has taken its precision notch weighting, and created a higher moment of inertia.

Basically, this means when you whack the ball, you're getting more forgiveness and stability, and maintaining a center of gravity position at the same time. This equals a straighter hit, even though you may be a bit off center when striking the ball.

The Tour inspired head shape of the X-22 iron was designed by engineers who took elements from Tour players on the professional circut. Combine this with an advanced version of the modified tru-bore design, and you come up with one sweet set of golf clubs.

For consistently longer drives that split the middle of the fairway, you'll want to look no further than the square headed Callaway FT-IQ Driver. Those smart folks at Callaway have combined the latest technology found in stealth bombers and Formula One race cars, and incorporated that technology into this superb driver.

The secret behind the technology is its hyperbolic face shaping, which is on the cutting edge of driver face design. Callaway's proprietary technology has created a longer and straighter drive by combining a carbon composite body and titanium face cup.

The FT-IQ Callaway driver was recently reviewed by golf monthly, with positive results. By combining the premium shaft by Mitsubishi Rayon, and Callaway's driver technology, the Callaway FT-IQ driver is a sure winner on the golf course.
