A key for touching longer discs is getting an optimal attack angle with the large stick. Although your perspective will be negative for most clubs, when it comes to the driver, you want to hit more upwards On the ball.
How much you wave on the ball now will differ from person to person and swing to swing. And the faster you wave, the less you need to swing on the ball to generate distance.
According to Golf Top 100 teacher Dave Phillips in the video below, PGA Tour professionals have an average attack angle of approximately +1 with the driver, while for LPGA benefits that number is closer to +4. The reason for this discrepancy is that the LPGA professionals swing more slowly, so they have to hit the ball more to generate the distance they need.
Having the ball on the ball is not always as simple as it sounds. For many recreational golfers, thinking about storing the ball ensures that they hang back and do not convey their weight well, which leads to some serious problems.
To watch against this, you must copy the most important movement that Pros use to reach the ball properly. Phillips explains the movement below from the 5:00 marker.

The most important movement for positive AOA
To practice this key movement, make a backswing to the top and then stop. From here you want to “bump” your hips somewhat forward and then start rotating to initiate the Downswing.
While the Downswing starts, push the ground with your lead foot. This will start the chain reaction that helps you to hit the ball well.
“You can see this lead shoulder away from the chin, who fools the club [the body]And when they push, you see the main shoulder working on and back, “says Phillips.” And the grip end of the club works and in, making the club head at work. This is the right way to save the ball. ‘
When you use the lead bone correctly to push in the ground, you are forced to pull your lead shoulder up and away from the ball. And by doing this, you will not only shift your weight forward, you also create a positive attack angle when you come into impact.
“You have to get your strength early in that main foot,” says Phillips. “Once you feel that you can push yourself back because you have enough strength in that lead foot, you want you to push and the lead shoulder works more on and around you.”
If you can implement this key movement in your swing, you create a higher perspective in the right way, which will lead to longer disks.
