To Hit Driver Longer & Straighter Simply Do This Before Every Swing
PGA instructor Danny Maude introduces a unique 'saw drill' to help golfers stop sacrificing distance for control. By understanding how to load the trail hand and elbow correctly at the top, and timing the release on the way down, golfers can generate effortless clubhead speed while keeping the face square.
Load the trail hand by hinging the wrist back so the palm supports the club like a 'waiter's tray'.
The trail elbow should sit down and inward to support the club's mass at the top of the swing.
Visualize the flat side of a saw to ensure the clubface stays square to the arc rather than rotating open.
Timing the release is critical; most golfers release too early (casting), losing power and accuracy.
Use lateral body movement to help naturally delay the release for better impact compression.
