The One Move YOU MUST DO to Hit Your Driver Well Every Time

PGA-certified instructor Warren Bennett demonstrates the key lower-body move required to hit high, consistent drives. By creating lower-body slide while keeping the head stationary behind the ball, golfers achieve the ideal reverse-C impact tilt to maximize distance and proper launch angle.

• Shift your lower body (hips and knees) forward while keeping your head behind the ball to create upper/lower body separation.
• Avoid moving your head and shoulders forward during the downswing, which causes a steep, compressed impact angle with the driver.
• Use the downswing pump drill or doorframe exercise to feel the right arm drop into plane before releasing the clubhead past your body.
