This World #1 Golf Coach Shows Me the Easiest Way to Hit Driver & Irons Straight and Long

Golf coach Chris analyzes Jerome Rufin's swing mechanics to fix inconsistencies and add distance with irons and driver. The lesson focuses on creating backswing width, pushing ground pressure into the lead foot during transition, and initiating the downswing via hip rotation. Chris also addresses right-hand grip pressure and bunker shot technique to refine Jerome's entire game.

• Create width in the backswing by stretching the lead arm away without picking up the club early or collapsing the arms.
• Initiate the downswing by shifting pressure into the lead foot before rotating the hips, keeping the spine back behind the ball.
• Pinch the right forefinger and thumb together against the grip to stabilize the clubface without introducing excess arm tension.
• Use hip rotation to pull the chest and club handle forward through impact rather than throwing arms at the ball.
• In bunker play, keep the clubface open throughout the finish rather than flipping or scooping with the hands.
