PGA Professional Stuart Cartwright hosts a live coaching session focused on optimizing the driver. He demonstrates how proper grip mechanics influence clubface control and introduces the 'Waving to the Crowd' feel for a more consistent release. The video also features a practical towel drill to maintain swing width and fix a collapsing lead arm.
Most driver struggles (like slicing or poor compression) stem from a poor grip that prevents natural forearm rotation.
To improve angle of attack, ensure the lead shoulder stays high and the ball is positioned sufficiently forward in the stance.
The lead arm usually bends because the trail arm collapses; focus on trail arm width to keep the lead arm straight.
Pressure through the handle: Feel the pad of the lead hand opposing the weight of the clubhead to stabilize the strike.
Forearm rotation should feel like 'waving to the crowd' to square the face without excessive lifting of the handle.
