"Driver won't listen to you? Here are 2 keys to make it obey on every swing"
Tom Saguto of SagutoGolf provides two essential keys to mastering the driver: maintaining tight elbow connection and swinging toward the target. By keeping the elbows together and reaching further at setup, golfers can automate a consistent club path and replace 'arm-sy' swings with a powerful shoulder-controlled rotation.
Squeeze your elbows close together at setup to create a 'nuclear launch pad' for your shoulders.
Position your hands under your chin or slightly further out to create space and maintain a single-plane path.
Avoid a steep, downward strike by feeling the right shoulder 'lay down' and swing toward the target.
Point your lead shoulder down toward the ball during the backswing to ensure center-face contact.
Focus on your shoulders controlling the stroke rather than breaking down the arms for better consistency.
