40% of the time ill hit the ball and it will go far (225 yd. approx) and and straight as a line and 60% of the time ill either slice the ball or it will just skid the ground and barely go anywhere
Spend A Hour At The Driving Range With Just Your Drivers Or Hybrids (3-4) Or Your Woods That Are Really Aluminum Now Days And Line It Up As Normal Dont Grip It Too Tightly Let The Club Do The Work.Take Aim At The F-Way And Go Easy And Slow On The Back-Swing And Then Let It Explode But Follow Thru Like Its Nothing And Turn Your Body Toward The Swing Only After You Have Hit The Ball. It Does Not Matter How Hard You Swing That Driver,The Drive Will Only Go As Far As Final Club Head Speed At Impact.
These are really great and practical tips. Some simple things to remember: feet about shoulder with apart, athletic stance, club head lined up with your inside front foot and getting the club head back on plane before impact.
