What can you do to increase your distance off the tee? Focusing your golf swing on hitting the ball in the center of the club face – center contact – will give you the maximum distance for your swing and clubhead speed. Understanding where you currently make contact can help you make the adjustments necessary to optimize your driver distance.
What is Center Contact?
Back when drivers were made of real wood they had an artificial insert in the middle of the club face. The insert was typically attached by screws, and the placement of the screws usually defined the center of the clubface, giving rise to the phrase “hitting it on the screws” when referring to a particularly well-hit drive.
