I now setup 5 inches back of the golf ball with driver - watch the full video here #golf #golftips
Golf instructor Alex Elliott explains why setting up five inches behind the ball with a driver improves contact. This simple address adjustment helps golfers hit up on the ball, optimize launch angle, and maximize driving distance.
Address the driver clubhead approximately 5 inches behind the golf ball instead of resting directly against it.
Maintain a slight spine tilt away from the target to keep your upper body behind the ball at setup.
Allow the clubhead to reach the low point of the swing arc before reaching the ball, ensuring an upward sweep at impact.
