GOING FOR A FEW EXTRA METRES ON YOUR DRIVE
Every now and then we all like to take a rip at our driver with the idea of getting a few extra metres. It could be to impress a playing partner, carry a bunker or just because you feel like it.
There is nothing quite like that feeling you get when you've really crunched one!
Apart from a few set-up changes I make sure I pick the right hole to give it a rip on, don't try this on holes that have out-of-bounds or hazards just off the fairway edge.
Here's what I do when I feel like going for a long one:
Set-Up
- Tee the ball up a bit higher
- Widen the stance about 10 centimetres
- Play the ball a little forward in the stance, no more than 5 cm
- Close the stance and shoulders a few degrees
- Relax
Swing Thought
- SWING LONG & FREE (No controlling swing thoughts)
