PGA coach Mark Crossfield explains key golf swing fundamentals needed to hit longer driver shots. He demonstrates how proper ball position, shoulder tilt at address, and sweeping up on the ball maximize launch angle and clubhead speed.
Position the driver ball position forward in your stance, opposite the lead heel.
Introduce slight spine tilt away from the target at address to promote an upward angle of attack.
Focus on solid, centered clubface contact rather than forced excessive speed.
Make a full shoulder turn during the backswing to create wide arc width for added power.
