Adding distance off the tee shot is a common goal for most golfers. The main way to do this is by increasing your club speed. Clubhead speed can be increased most effectively by more body rotation during your back-swing. Since control is easily lost doing this, you need to practice this technique to assure longer drives that stay in the fairway. For more information on perfecting your game and adding distance off the tee, contact a golf course or golf professional in your area.
