This area comes up so often and i constantly get asked on how you strike a ball.
There are 5 key steps to striking a stationary ball.
1) Tee the ball up.( Find an area to prop the ball up so as to give you the best chance of good contact).
2) Angle of approach. ( To get good distance you need to have a relatively straight run up, not a David Beckham like approach
3) Look at your target once or twice. ( It's a good idea to know where you want to hit the ball).
4) Attack the ball with a long last step. ( the long final step creates the power).
5) Keep your head down when you strike the ball. ( Don't look up to admire how far you have hit the ball until it leaves your foot).
All the above steps rely upon the amount of time spent working on them, Rome wasn't built in a day so practice every day if possible. I hope this helps you to start striking the ball more consistently; repetition, repetition.
