To Hit Driver Straight Always Do This Before Every Swing
In this golf lesson, Danny Maude explains how to hit straighter drives by mastering the 'Face to Path' principle through simple setup adjustments. He demonstrates how misaligned forearms and improper body tilt are the primary causes of slices and hooks, offering a quick fix to neutralize the swing path before the club even moves.
Most driver issues (slices and hooks) are caused by 'Face to Path' misalignment established at setup.
Avoid a slice setup where the trail arm is higher than the lead arm; instead, ensure the lead arm is slightly above the trail arm at address.
Neutralize your forearms by pointing the lead elbow slightly outward and the trail elbow toward the ground.
Keep your upper body center (sternum) behind your lower body center (pelvis) throughout the swing to prevent an over-the-top slice move.
Practicing extreme 'hook' and 'slice' setups helps develop the feel required to find a perfectly neutral straight-ball setup.
