SHORTEN THINGS UP FOR BETTER BALL-STRIKING
When I’m taking the club back, I don’t like excess movement—that’s how you lose your timing. I want to stay in control, and that means making a compact swing. It’s easy to get excited with the driver and swing out of your shoes. To avoid doing that, one of my favorite drills is to take the driver back no farther than where my left arm is parallel to the ground ( left ). I’ll hit five shots from this position and one more with my normal-length swing. I keep alternating like this to ingrain a feeling of being compact and connected with my driver. It really improves my ball-striking.
