Easy Driver Set-Up Tweaks You NEED To Know! (Better Dispersion & Strike) Ross's WILD Driver Set-Up..
Ross and Tom from Elite Performance Golf Studios demonstrate how the distance between the driver head and the ball at address significantly alters delivery characteristics. By placing the club 4-6 inches behind the ball, golfers can square their shoulder alignment, neutralizing an out-to-in path and increasing the angle of attack for better carry distance. The team also explores Ross's unique 'wild' setup designed to produce a repeatable power fade.
Placing the driver head several inches behind the ball helps prevent shoulders from opening at address.
A 'gap' setup promotes a more neutral or 'in-to-out' path compared to resting the club directly against the ball.
Moving the club back at setup encourages a more upward angle of attack, which reduces spin and increases carry distance.
Ross's specific fade setup involves placing the ball outside the left foot with open shoulders while keeping the clubhead back.
Setup tweaks can be more effective than swing changes for golfers struggling with consistent heel strikes or slices.
