DRIVER Golf Tips for High Handicappers (2 Key Moves)
PGA-certified instructor Adam Bazalgette reveals two essential moves to help high handicappers hit longer, straighter drives. He demonstrates how to create a level strike through impact and how to square the clubface using simple drills that eliminate the common steep, 'over-the-top' slice motion.
A 'level spot' at impact is critical for solid contact; avoid chopping down at the ball.
A steep attack angle and open face are the primary causes of distance loss and slices.
Practice at a slow scale to develop awareness; swinging at full speed too early prevents skill development.
Square the clubface by learning to 'tilt' it with the hands rather than slashing the arms.
Once the path and face are controlled, add distance by loosening the wrists for more 'whip' and speed.
