This ONE Move Added 57 Yards To My Drives!

PGA instructor Alex Elliott tests a viral 'cheat code' tip from Giles Gill designed to add up to 57 yards of distance. The technique focuses on correcting level shoulders in the transition by adding more side bend, which shallow out the club and creates an efficient in-to-out path.

• Level shoulders at the start of the downswing often cause a slice or 'chopping' motion.
• Moving the trail shoulder 'down' instead of 'around' helps slot the club in an in-to-out path.
• Focusing on the lead shoulder moving 'up' can naturally induce the correct trail-side bend.
• In-to-out path changes can significantly increase ball speed and carry distance without extra effort.
• Visualizing alignment sticks through the shoulders helps exaggerate the feeling of the correct tilt.
