You Wont Believe How Good You Hit Your Driver With This Drill
In this Performance Golf lesson, Eric Cogorno and Katrina Howard reveal a powerful driver drill designed to build a wide swing arc for maximum distance and consistency. By focusing on a deep lead-shoulder turn and maintaining 'long arms,' golfers can shallow their attack angle and deliver more effortless power, mimicking the elite mechanics of pros like Rory McIlroy.
A wide swing arc is created by getting the clubhead as far away from the body as possible on both sides of the swing.
The lead shoulder must move back away from the target and under the chin to allow for a wide takeaway.
Avoid excessive trail arm folding and wrist hinge early in the backswing to maintain 'long arms'.
To maintain width in the follow-through, the trail shoulder must rotate forward toward the target.
Maximum width should be achieved with a stable head to ensure consistent ball striking.
