If your driver is inconsistent, start with your setup.

Most golfers set up too level, making it harder to hit up on the ball and maximize distance.

Try these simple checkpoints:

✅ Ball position in line with your lead heel
✅ Slight spine tilt away from the target
✅ Trail shoulder lower than lead shoulder
✅ Pressure balanced, then let the tilt create the proper launch conditions
✅ Keep your chest behind the ball through impact

This setup helps you create a positive angle of attack, launch it higher, and reduce those weak glancing strikes.

Don’t overhaul your swing before checking your setup. The right setup makes a good swing much easier.

Most golfers practice their backswing… but the ball only cares about impact.

Start by building a great impact position:
✅ Pressure shifted into your lead side
✅ Hands ahead of the ball
✅ Shaft leaning forward
✅ Chest rotating open
✅ Trail heel beginning to release

Then don’t stop there.

Move dynamically into that same impact position over and over. This trains your body to understand where great contact actually happens instead of guessing during a full-speed swing.

The goal isn’t to force positions during the swing—it’s to create awareness of what solid impact feels like so your body can organize around it naturally.

If you struggle with fat shots, thin shots, or inconsistent contact, spend 5 minutes a day rehearsing this movement and watch your strike improve.

Most golfers ruin the swing in the first 12 inches.

A common mistake is rolling the forearms and pulling the clubhead inside early. This changes the clubface, gets the shaft off plane, and forces compensations later in the swing.

Try this simple drill:

✅ Feel your hands move slightly inward while the clubhead stays outside your hands.
✅ Maintain the angle between your trail wrist and the shaft (radial deviation).
✅ Keep that wrist angle intact as the club moves back.

The result? A more neutral clubface, better shaft plane, and a backswing that sets you up for consistent ball striking.

Think: Hands in. Clubhead out. Maintain the angle.

The takeaway doesn’t need to be complicated—but it does need to be correct.

This is the sequence you need if your hitting it short.

Comment “Better” and let me send you free vids to help you score lower

Many golfers rotate in transition and get out of sequence. They spin out, throw the hands, hit the ground, have face volatility. It’s a mess.

If you want to clean up contact, you need to feel this sequence.

Practice without ball. Then add the club. Then add a ball. You’ll be hitting stripes in no time.

Want more power and consistency? Start with a better turn.

Place an alignment rod on the ground in the center of your stance and hold a club across your shoulders.

As you rotate back, focus on turning your ribcage until the club across your shoulders points behind the alignment rod.

✅ Encourages proper body rotation
✅ Prevents reverse weight shift
✅ Helps load the trail side efficiently
✅ Creates a more powerful and repeatable backswing

Many golfers think they’re turning, but they’re actually swaying. A centered rotation allows you to store energy, stay balanced, and make it easier to deliver the club consistently at impact.

Try 10 slow reps before your next practice session and feel the difference.
