The Driver Move Pros Do That Most Amateurs Never Learn
In this live driver lesson with MeAndMyGolf, instructor Andy helps golfer Sandy fix her driver slice and turn weak fades into effortless draws. By strengthening her lead hand grip and teaching her to relax her arms so the club face naturally releases through impact, Sandy increases distance and control without extra effort.
Rotate your lead hand into a more neutral-to-strong position so the fleshy pad rests on top of the grip and more knuckles are visible.
Place the trail hand lighter and more in the fingers to prevent excessive palm pressure and arm tension.
Stop trying to force your lead arm straight past impact; holding it rigid keeps the club face open.
Use the 'toe wins the race' visual to feel the toe of the clubhead naturally closing past the heel through impact.
Relaxing the arms and wrists frees up natural clubhead speed while squaring the face effortlessly.
