Hitting the ball farther may be the ultimate goal for improving your golf game. Every golfer idolizes the long ball hitters on the PGA tour and fantasizes about hitting drives almost as long. But how do you do it?

You can start by staying in shape because an exercise regimen focused on strength and flexibility will put you in position to hit long shots.
Once you're in good physical shape you can concentrate on your game and proper swing mechanics are key. Velocity, swing rate and launch angle are the three elements that govern distance of a golf shot. Velocity depends on how fast you swing the clubhead. To make the ball go furthest at any given swing speed, there's an optimal spin rate and launch speed. You can hit it farther if you launch it higher with less backspin. A few tips for doing this are to tee the ball farther forward in your stance, which helps you launch the ball higher since you'll contact it on the upswing; and, you can tee the ball higher to achieve a high launch angle without more backspin to hit the ball on an extreme upswing.
Of course, having the best golf equipment will make it a lot easier to hit a long drive. Most golfers use clubs that are too long with not enough loft. A longer club will hit the ball farther when hit solidly but the longer shaft make it harder for the average player to square the club face. A higher loft works well to launch the new low-spin balls and a shorter shaft helps you square the club up and catch the ball more solidly.

The driver any golfer who wants to hit longer drives should consider is the Condor 460 SQ Driver from NGC Sports (www.ngcgolf.com). It's a square head driver that uses an armor-piercing coating that is 70 percent harder than titanium. The coating is derived from a once-secret metal developed by the Department of Defense to pierce enemy armor. When you put this technology to work for you on the golf course, longer drives are natural. And the driver also features a graphite shaft to increase clubhead speed.

When you put the powerful clubhead with the graphite shaft together you get a driver that is professionally designed to hit long and accurate shots. NGC Sports is the company that specializes in scientifically designed golf equipment that has been featured in Golf Digest and Popular Science magazines. The Condor 460 SQ driver and many other clubs are offered, but you won't find them in stores. Go online to shop for the best equipment at the best prices and make sure you visit www.ngcgolf.com to find the Condor 460 SQ Driver that will help you hit the ball farther and cut strokes off your score!
