Hit Your Driver Better with this Drill

Most golfers, when they have been playing for a little while, come to me with the hope that I can help them hit their driver better. I am going to give you a drill that will help you start hitting your driver better but it does require practice and a certain amount of discipline. The goal is to take a full swing with the driver but only 50% speed. So if you normally hit your driver 220 yards, during this drill, you will only hit it 110 yards. During the drill, the goals are to make center face contact and for the ball to be relatively straight.

It’s actually much harder to do than it looks. When we tell our students to swing 50%, it usually ends up being more like 80-90%. If you can manage to swing slower, it will help you get a feel for the club face, the path, and most importantly making center face contact.
