Driver Yips Fixed with DOD!

Chris Trott (Trottie Golf) explains how practicing driver off the deck (DoD) can help eliminate driver yips and severe two-way misses caused by early extension. By forcing a downward attack angle and proper ball coverage, this shot resets impact mechanics. The video also details club fitting and weighting adjustments needed to optimize low-launch shots off the turf.

• Hitting driver off the deck forces you to stay over the ball and hit down, eliminating early extension and flippy hands.
• Follow a practice progression: start with a 3-wood off the fairway, move to driver off the turf, then transition back to a teed ball.
• Position clubhead weights in the rear setting to maximize launch and spin stability on low-face turf strikes.
• Adjust the driver loft sleeve higher if needed to close the face slightly and avoid low right cut misses.
