Default Re: Hitting my driver

When I was a terrible slicer - this tip worked as an emergency fix/band-aid. I think I read about it in article by Judy Rankin.

Take a couple dozen balls and your favorite iron. Maybe 7-iron. After taking your normal stance, drop your back foot back about 12 inches. So your stance is very closed. Now swing and as you hit the ball try your best to hook it off the range. It can be fun when you are able to start hitting really big hooks.

After a number of these shots move back to a normal stance and go about your business. Now pull out the driver and see how it goes.

Others can weigh in here, but this is a fun drill that will help you learn how to stop cutting across the ball. And how to stay behind the ball into impact.

Good luck!
