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 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.
This drill trains better arm structure and wrist mechanics to eliminate thin shots. By keeping the elbows connected and preventing early extension of the wrists, you maintain a consistent swing radius and improve strike quality.
This drill teaches you how to maintain lead wrist flexion (and avoid early extension) during the downswing, eliminating both thin and fat shots.
It’s designed to help you keep the handle forward through impact for better compression and strike consistency. It’s built into the HackMotion app for easy practice.
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.
This drill trains proper wrist angles early in the backswing to improve clubface control, contact, and consistency.
It uses a simple alignment stick setup and builds awareness of lead wrist flexion and trail wrist extension using HackMotion checkpoints.
This drill helps you generate more distance by reducing arm and grip tension and allowing your wrists to release naturally through the hitting zone.
It builds effortless speed without needing to swing harder.
This isn’t the most complex drill but it’s highly effective. Small setup changes help senior golfers make a bigger shoulder turn and a longer hand path, which can lead to more distance without adding speed.
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.
You may feel less pressure to hit a perfect shot at the driving range.
If you find this is the case, you should learn how to increase pressure at the range by playing games and setting up challenges for yourself.
This process puts pressure on and makes it easier to perform on the course.
Hitting about 50 golf balls should be the minimum when you have a practice session; the first ten shots and the last ten shots should be chipping and short game practice.
This leaves thirty shots in the middle to work on the things you need to.
Beginners should practice setup and hitting a golf ball straight when they are at the driving range.
In the beginning, it’s hard to hit a golf shot straight and get it up in the air.
Make sure you are balanced, your grip is correct, and you are aiming at a target.
We hope this interactive driving range practice plan has helped you narrow down exactly which areas of your golf game need your attention. Start building out your practice plan and incorporating drills that will make a difference in your scoring. The better you become a practicing the easier it will be to lower your scores on the course.
