One Simple Tweak Got This 78 Year Old Golfer Driving it 274 Yards!

PGA-certified golf instructor Steve Pratt explains key driver setup fundamentals to help senior and amateur golfers gain distance and correct path issues. By adjusting ball position, hip hinge, lateral hip tilt, and shoulder turn alignment, golfers can hit up on the ball with optimal launch conditions.

• Position the tee aggressively forward in line with your front big toe or middle toe to encourage a 5-degree upward attack angle.
• Create natural spine tilt by bumping your target hip slightly forward and flexing your trailing knee inward rather than tilting your head back.
• Hinge 30 to 35 degrees at your hips while keeping your back straight instead of excessive knee bending or thoracic slouching.
• Close and tilt your shoulder line slightly toward right field ('Upper Deck Right Field' feel) to encourage a shallow, in-to-out swing path.
