Make sure you don't jerk with the swing. The smoother the arc, the more force is transferred into your shot. Set little benchmarks for yourself and try to improve each day you practice. Most of the amateurs swing their golf club at approximately 85 MPH; whereas, the professionals swing at about 110 MPH or more.
If your driver has 9.5Ë or 10.5Ë of loft, and your typical swing is about 85 mph, which is about average for male players, then you may not generate enough backspin to keep the ball in the air long enough to maximize carry distance. Generally speaking, the slower your swing, the more loft you need on your driver.
