You Won’t Believe How Good You Hit Your Driver Doing This Drill

PGA instructor Eric Cogorno and coach Steve Sieracki demonstrate how to eliminate a driver slice and hit a consistent draw. They detail three major keys: proper driver setup with forward hips and closed shoulders, maintaining a closed face relative to the shaft, and using a zero-line follow-through checkpoint to preserve side tilt.

• Slide lower hips ~2 inches toward the target at address to naturally create upper-body side tilt without opening the shoulders.
• Retract the trail shoulder and tuck the trail arm underneath the lead arm to preset an inside-out swing path.
• Keep the clubface closed relative to the shaft throughout the takeaway and backswing to prevent open-face slices.
• Maximize backswing depth by fully turning the hips and getting the hands behind the trail shoulder.
• Stop the trail shoulder at the lead shoulder's address position ('zero line') in the follow-through to retain side tilt and project high draws.
