Craig Jones from Face First Golf reveals how keeping the trail elbow connected and utilizing proper wrist hinge creates effortless whip at impact. He demonstrates an alignment stick drill alongside grip and setup adjustments that lower backspin, eliminate over-the-top moves, and unlock extra driver distance.
Keep your trail elbow tucked close to your side during the backswing and downswing to promote an inside path.
Perform the alignment stick whip drill hip-to-hip to feel maximum speed released at impact.
Synchronize body rotation by keeping the butt end of the club visually aligned with your belly button.
Strengthen your lead hand grip to square the clubface naturally when coming from the inside.
Drop your trail foot back slightly at setup to encourage an inside-out path and reduce driver backspin.
