Driving range practice is effective. If you want to get better at golf, you have to spend some time at the range.
However, without the right plan and the proper drills, you really aren’t practicing. You are simply exercising.
We have customized driving range plans and drills specific to your needs.
Use the interactive elements below to select your available time, equipment, and the swing fault you want to fix. You’ll receive a personalized driving range practice plan tailored to your needs in just seconds!
When you head to your driving range practice session, chances are you are thinking about working on your driver, fairway woods, hybrids, or iron.
However, to be successful, you need to break down what your goals are just a little more detailed than this.
Some things to practice at the driving range include:
The first thing to consider when structuring a driving range session is the amount of time you have.
We broke this down into three options; 1 hour, 30 minutes and 10 minutes. The 10 minutes is more of a warm up before heading out to the course.
However, it’s still important to structure your time at the driving range to benefit you.

Drills are a great way to feel the issues in your golf swing and finally fix them.
The key to a great drill is one that specifically targets the area of your game that needs the most attention. To find the best drills to fit into your practice session, start with the weakest area of your golf game.
Let’s say you want to work on all of your irons, but you start slicing them. Here are the drills you can use to help make the practice more effective and fix your major swing flaws.
Here are the best tips and drills to fix your slice at the driving range.
Check the clubface position at the top of your swing. Your clubface will be left open when the lead wrist is too extended. An open clubface at impact causes the slice.
Practice drills that help you feel the inside-out path.
Most slicers have a more outside-in path. When you combine that path with an open clubface, the results are always slices.
Fix your positions – don’t compensate for them. Chances are you are manipulating your setup and stance to accommodate the slice.
Instead, gain control of your wrists, and you’ll have more clubface awareness to stop the slice.
When your slicing is your driver and not your irons it could be because of the way you are approaching the golf ball.
Golf drivers are longer and more difficult to manage but with the proper wrist action and positions, it’s possible to fix a slice with any club.
Here are the best tips and drills to fix your hook at the driving range.
Get the wrist angles fixed! If you are hooking the ball, your lead wrist may be too flexed at the top of your backswing and then again at impact. Instead, try to get to a flat lead wrist position.
Use HackMotion audio feedback to fix the wrist position.
It’s sometimes more common to hook your driver than it is the irons.
If you are hooking your irons, try these drills from Tyler Ferrell to help gain some control of the clubface and line up the proper turn and rotation in your swing.
Check your grip position. Many times, a golfer with a strong grip (originally used to fix a slice) may have taken things too far. If you see more of the palm of your trail hand at setup instead of the knuckles, your grip is too strong.
Have you stopped to think about how the golf club should be moving through impact? These drills with alignment sticks and feeling the opposite will help.
Finally, get some awareness of the clubface. Check the position of the face halfway back to see if you have already closed the face. Continue to stop and check the halfway back position until you can take the club back square every time.
Here are some of the best tips and drills to try to fix thin shots.
Whether it’s weight shift, improper wrist position, or the wrong idea about what impact should look like, Rob Cheney will address it in this video and give you a variety of drills to work on.
To stop hitting thin shots, you’ll want to compress your golf irons and keep your lead wrist flexed through the impact position.
You have to use your shoulders and deliver them to the ball the right way. Most amateurs drop their trail shoulder when approaching the ball.
Here’s a drill and mindset shift that will fix it for you.
Here are some of the best tips and drills to try to fix fat shots.
Some fat shots happen because of swing path issues and others because of incorrect wrist position at impact.
Rob Cheney will give you some quick fixes for getting the club in the right position and making cleaner contact.
If you’ve been trying to load all of your weight up on your trail side in the backswing, you may be causing some of your thin/fat shots.
Take a look at this drill that will teach you to stay more centered and make ball first contact.
Here are some of the best drills to get your clubface square and stop pulling and pushing your way around the course.
Neutralize your grip. In a neutral grip position, the V Shape formed by your thumb and forefinger of your trail hand points to your nose. While you are working on your grip, check the grip pressure and make sure it’s not too tight.
Many amateurs cast or push the club down through impact and learn how to pull it instead. Pulling the club when the clubface is square will result in more power and better consistency on the course.
If the inconsistency comes from the tee box, this video from Chris Ryan gives a great drill to get you back on track. All you’ll need is a few tees and your driver.
Finally, learn how to control your wrists through impact. Use HackMotion audio feedback to ensure just the right amount of flex in the lead wrist.
Here are some of the best drills to learn to control your wrist angles and hit straighter, longer, and more accurate golf shots.
Master your wrist mechanics with Rob Cheney’s three favorite drills, designed to improve your wrist mechanics and help you achieve the consistency you’ve always wanted.
The Motorcycle Drill is one of the best wrist action drills in golf. At the top of the backswing, take your lead wrist and feel as though it turns counterclockwise on the downswing.
This motion will be completely different from other golf drills you have tried.
If your goal is to work on wrist hinge and the perfect timing to hinge the wrists this video from Rob Cheney may help.
His pre-set hinge position leaves you with no room for error and more confidence about where the hands and wrists should be in the early parts of the golf swing.
The open-hand drill is a great option if you can’t quite get the trail wrist to ease up on the downswing. Many players struggle with this flipping-type motion to square a clubface through impact, which doesn’t work.
Try this open-hand drill; you will notice it’s considerably easier to get that feeling of a quiet trail wrist and a flexed lead wrist through impact.
Here are some of the best drills to learn to control your wrist angles and hit straighter, longer, and more accurate golf shots.
Feel like you are starting to hit consistent shots but still need to unlock some distance?
Try these drills using simple items like alignment sticks and impact bags to make your swing more efficient and capable of achieving maximum distance.
The 3 Fives Drill from Clay Ballard with Top Speed Golf has a great drill that helps you get yourself set up in the right place to hit powerful drives. Practice this drill to get behind the golf ball, shallow the swing, and keep the right forearm under the left forearm.
If you struggle with inconsistency in your drives, it could have a lot to do with incorrect spine angle through impact. Great players keep their heads behind the ball and stay very centered through impact. There is no sliding, and the spine angle does not increase through impact.
One of the major issues distance-seeking golfers have is their ability to turn their shoulders properly on the backswing. As players swing back, they tend to forget to open the shoulder blades in the back and allow for the extra rotation. This can all be fixed by simply changing your mindset and working on this effective drill.
Here are some of the best drills to improve consistency.
If you want to become a consistent golfer your wrist position at impact needs to get consistent.
This video from Rob Cheney gives you a great drill where you can practice the extremes in order to feel the correct motions through impact.
Most golfers don’t get even close to where their wrists should be at impact so practicing extremes can be a positive experience.
The best players are able to take the club from the 9 o’clock position to the 3-clock position the same way every time.
If you can do this with a wedge you can do it with a 7 iron, 5 iron, hybrid etc. Start with some extra weight on your left foot, push to the right side, and then back to the left as you move through to impact. The motion is simple.
The Pump Drill is a very commonly used drill for better golfers. With this video, Chris Ryan shows you how to execute the pump drill. You’ll need two alignment sticks on the ground to help you ensure you are in the right setup position.
If you struggle with transitioning from backswing to downswing, the pump drill should fix it.
Sometimes it’s not just a drill you need, it’s a completely different mindset on the range.
This drill will help you practice your consistency regardless of your playing ability.
Learning to hit straight shots is great, but if you want consistency on the course you need to be able to hit different types of shots on demand.
Now that you have a better idea of how and what to practice, here are some tips to maximize your driving range practice.
These tips will ensure that you get the most out of your time on the range.
The more you play golf, the more you should be practicing your game. Head to the driving range once a week on average, but if you play several days a week, go two or three times. You don’t have to go for extended sessions, but 30 minutes is enough time.
Many golfers find a ½ hour of practice to be enough. Better players often have more stamina and can practice for an hour or more and still benefit from it.
Most times, you will start to feel tired or have some soreness if you practice too long, so this should be avoided.
If you enjoy practice, you can go to the driving range every day. However, it is not necessarily recommended for all golfers because it can be tiring, and poor habits can be developed.
A driving range is more fun if you are playing games and creating challenges. Pick targets and challenge yourself to hit them, then work on beating your score. Incorporating technology like HackMotion into your practice session will also make the session more interesting and allow you to collect data at the same time.
When hitting golf balls at the range, never start with the driver. In addition, never hit driver after driver until you run through a bucket of golf balls.
The range should be more of a practice for the course instead of just a session where you swing the club over and over.
