Here are a few points to consider when using your driver on the golf course.
- The correct tee height is vital to achieve consistency off the tee when you are using your driver.
- With a driver you are looking to strike the ball on an upward swing, ( this is when the club reaches the bottom of the swing arc)
- As well as teeing the ball up, ensure the ball is forward in your stance ( inside of left heel).
- At impact the ball should make contact with the driver just slightly above the middle of the club face, this will reduce spin especially into a headwind and help the ball to launch onto its correct ball flight.
- If the ball is placed on a tee too low it will cause you to create too much of a descending angle (steep) of attack into the ball.
- A further point to remember is to make sure your posture remains the same from the address position right through to impact.
