Possibly the Fastest Way to Hit Driver Straight and Long
PGA instructor Danny Maude presents the 'Feet Together Drill' as the fastest way to improve driver consistency and distance. By practicing with feet joined, golfers are forced to maintain balance and rotate on a centered axis, naturally correcting swing path and impact position. Maude demonstrates how this simple setup change helps hit up on the ball with the driver while providing immediate feedback on common swing flaws.
A narrow stance provides instant feedback on balance and prevents excessive sliding or tilting.
Flaring the lead foot slightly while feet are together allows for a more natural pivot into the follow-through.
For driver, position the ball outside the lead toe to encourage hitting up on the ball for more distance.
Place the club head 2-3 inches behind the ball at address to optimize the strike arc.
The drill is transferable to irons by moving the ball to a more central position in the stance.
