Some shots in competitions surpass 400 yards (366 m). The world record recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest drive in a competition is 515 yards (471 m) by 64-year-old Mike Austin in 1974 at the US Senior National Open Qualifier with a 43.5" steel shafted persimmon wood driver.

In general, a high compression rating (for a harder ball) means that the ball will spin more and can be more easily controlled on approach shots. Softer golf balls usually spin less and can travel farther with longer clubs because of that, but control is less precise.Good timing and acceleration through the ball will make the golf ball travel further. It doesn't matter how fast the clubhead moves away from the ball or how fast the transition is from backswing to downswing. Speed during this part of the swing is wasted energy and generally has a destabilising effect.
How do you hit a golf ball 20 yards farther
How to hit a driver farther
- Tee the ball higher.
- Move the ball closer to your lead foot (just inside the heel)
- Lower your trail shoulder so your spine angle is pointing to the sky a little more.
