Easiest And Most Reliable Way To Start The Golf Swing With Driver
Legendary instructor Martin Hall joins Eric Cogorno to break down the most reliable way to start the driver swing. By focusing on lead elbow position, upper arm connection, and clubface awareness, golfers can eliminate early rotation and hit straighter drives.
Position the lead elbow pointing toward the lead hip at address and keep the 'blood spot' (inner elbow) facing upward during the takeaway.
Maintain pressure between the lead upper arm and the chest early in the swing to stay connected and avoid 'flying' arms.
Keep the clubface 'looking at the ball' for as long as possible during the takeaway to prevent premature opening of the face.
Use physical cues like squashing your fingers under your lead arm to verify connection during practice.
