How to Hit Driver Long & Straight – #1 Tip

0:00

hi everyone so today we're going to look

0:01

at the release with the driver

0:04

i've seen a lot of players that just

0:06

struggle to get

0:07

nice and cleanly through to the finish

0:09

with this club because

0:11

the delivery characteristics of an iron

0:13

driver different i would stick with what

0:15

we go over today with the driver

0:17

so really simply one thing that i see

0:20

in the release pattern of really good

0:23

drivers

0:24

is that they get that club really nice

0:27

and extended towards a target if you

0:28

look at the club head

0:30

it's pretty much vertical in the release

0:33

there

0:34

from a arm standpoint left arm i think

0:37

is a great reference here

0:38

you'll see it's slowly folding and the

0:41

elbow is pointed down

0:43

so one thing that i see with the left

0:44

elbow with a number of amateurs

0:47

and just players that struggle to drive

0:48

it well is if i get in here

0:50

they get a little too much ahead of the

0:53

ball

0:54

and then from there they're trying to

0:55

shallow with the elbow working

0:57

up and the only issue with that is if

1:00

you look at the face

1:01

it's wide open so you're going to most

1:03

likely get a steep angle of attack

1:05

and face is too much open going to

1:07

really struggle to get that face

1:09

to square up like we see in those good

1:11

drivers so

1:13

really simple feel that you can work on

1:16

with this

1:18

is to once you set up

1:23

to work down into the downswing getting

1:26

yourself in a nice delivery position

1:27

where that toe is

1:28

um i'm gonna pretty much face up and

1:31

then just allow

1:33

the feeling of the cup head to release

1:36

so that you're squaring it and then get

1:38

the face to match up on the way

1:40

through so this is an intuitive way to

1:43

calm the body stuff down allow the body

1:45

to respond a bit more to the head

1:47

okay so one more time it's gonna make

1:50

sure i'm set up nice and square

1:54

take it back into a good delivery

1:57

position

1:58

where butter the club is pointing

2:00

towards the target

2:02

toe is in the air and then just very

2:04

intuitively

2:06

get the get the cub into a nice impact

2:08

position i don't have too much shaft

2:10

lean here

2:11

and then on the other side work it

2:14

through on the way through getting that

2:15

nice extension as well pushing off

2:18

that trail side so really simple

2:21

intuitive

2:22

feel just to help you to calm the body

2:25

and respond

2:25

a bit more to the face with the driver
