    Can you get longer drives by taking a practice swing. Someone told me this and I don't see the 15% difference he told me about. Any other tips for distance?

    No taking a practice swing doesn't give you longer drives. To get longer drives you need better clubs and balls.Failing that to get more distance with what you have the correct use of back spin and top spin will help.

    No, practice swings can't add distance. What they can do is settle down a balky or sticky meter. If your meter is acting up, a couple of practice swings can often help.

    As noted above, spin can help, With a tailwind, a bit of backspin will lead to a higher drive that, because it stays in the air longer, will give you more distance. On a links course, into a headwind, top spin will help the ball bore into the wind and roll farther after landing.

    It's easy to get a few more yards on your drives...just click your mouse a bit harder...

    Practice swing? Is there a way to take a practice swing in non practice rounds?
