Master your driver set-up and discover exactly how to set the driver on the ground to master golf driver basics before you even begin your swing. Most golfers destroy their tee shots before the club even moves away from the ball.
In this video, we break down the critical fundamentals of setting the driver up to the golf ball. You'll learn: Grounding vs. Hovering: Why resting your driver flat behind the ball causes heel strikes, and why lining it up off the toe fixes centered contact. The Toe-Up Secret: Why your driver should sit 7° to 11° toe-up at address, and how forcing it flat destroys your posture, path, and swing speed. Driver Shaft Lean: The exact handle position relative to your lead thigh to prevent weak slices and delofting errors. The Lie Angle Shot-Shaping Hack: How altering your driver's lie angle at address unlocks an effortless draw or controlled fade without changing your swing mechanics.
