Create more speed

You need to hit the ball on the upswing with your driver to maximise power. Set the ball forward in your stance and don’t be afraid to tee it up high. 2

As you turn back, your weight should naturally move on to your back foot – this happens as a result of your body rotation. Do not try to force the weight shift by swaying off the ball (away from the target) – this will hamper the quality of your strike.

In the finish position, your weight should be over your front foot and your midriff should be pointing at the target. You should be balanced and able to hold this position for several seconds until the ball lands – a sign that you’ve put a good swing on it.

Hover the club at address. This reduces tension in your forearms and allows you to make a more freeflowing, fluid and powerful swing.
