Given Bryson DeChambeau is one of the very longest drivers of a golf ball in the world, it may well pay to listen to when he’s dishing the advice out about getting that ball a bit further.

DeChambeau is very much a pioneer of the modern game of golf and his quest for distance has rubbed off on fellow pro players and those in the amateur ranks.

The two-time major winner is one of the best in the business when it comes to getting the ball off the tee and when he’s accurate at the same time, he is a frightening proposition.

For us as amateur players seeking to improve our game, getting more distance off the tee is a natural way to go about it.

Thankfully, in the modern world of social media we get to see the best players giving out advice.

And that includes Bryson DeChambeau.

Bryson DeChambeau’s top tip for more distance with driver

Listening to someone like Bryson DeChambeau break down his processes and practice methods is always a fascinating listen.

But when it comes to driving and distance, it’s always that bit more intriguing with him.

Indeed, not too long ago, DeChambeau was giving out his advice on how to swing the club faster and ultimately, get the ball travelling farther.

“I found the best way to swing it the fastest. I tried a bunch of training aids, a bunch of different things, ultimately the best thing that worked for me was swinging the golf club faster. One of things it entailed was hitting a massive volume of golf balls to train my nervous system into moving faster and be comfortable with moving faster,” DeChambeau explained.

“So for example I would hit 150 to 200 balls at each speed training session and you have to work your way up to do that, you can’t just do that. That is going full out with a driver as hard as I possibly can for almost two hours.

“It can be very scary for a lot of people like I am getting injured and all that stuff. But what I do is speed train and get to my max speed after 150 or 200 balls and then I will go and work out to fix myself.

“So it’s always about fixing myself, whatever is feeling weird or off, so from that point I have learn to do it almost every day. I can speed train every day and do a couple of hours sessions each day and sometimes when I’m really trying to push speed I will do two a day, but you really have to push these nervous system limits.”

Coincidentally, with the release of Happy Gilmore 2 this week, DeChambeau has also been trying to share some knowledge with Adam Sandler.

And it’s very much a similar piece of advice to the Hollywood star.

Bryson DeChambeau’s driving stats in 2025

Watching DeChambeau hit a tee shot is often a thing of beauty.

The way he strikes the ball, the carry and the overall shape he can get on the ball when he’s on song is quite mesmerising.

As it stands, DeChambeau tops the stats on LIV Golf for driving distance at an average of 328.1 yards.

The American’s accuracy with driver is down at 59.52%, some way behind one of the top five and best players in world on the PGA Tour, Collin Morikawa, who is fourth best with 71.25% accuracy.

Nevertheless, DeChambeau is in the positive figures in terms of strokes gained off the tee which suggests in the main that his driving is a huge asset.
