Never Get Stuck With the Driver Again

In this video, Mike Malaska breaks down the 'Malaska Move' to help golfers stop getting 'stuck' with the driver. He explains how to transition the club by moving the handle down and in while tipping the clubhead out, ensuring the club stays in front of the body. Featuring a split-grip drill, this lesson provides a clear path to better clubface control and a more consistent downswing.

• Getting 'stuck' happens when you pull the handle forward and the clubhead falls behind the body.
• During the transition, the handle should feel like it moves down and closer to your center, not out toward the ball.
• The 'Malaska Move' involves tipping the clubhead out so it moves over the hands, keeping it in front of the chest.
• Practicing with a split-grip allows you to feel the natural 'whipping action' and the proper relationship between hands and clubhead.
• A proper downswing path brings the hands inside the ball so the clubhead can strike from the inside.
