OK guys, while you were busy stuffing your faces with Turkey I was working hard on my game. My driving has been terrible over the past few years. What used to be a strength has quickly become my nemesis. I had to make a few changes. Here is my most recent effort at a very cold range last night. Quality not great.


Already I can see a few things still to focus on, namely widening my stance and restricting my head movement. But the positives are:
  • Ball position under my left shoulder.
  • Shoulders tilted up and square to enable me to hit up on the ball.
  • Going back into my right heel
  • Coming into my left heel and keeping left shoulder behind ball at impact
It was a very cold but calm night, I was absolutely killing my new Jetspeed driver. Beautiful trajectory, straight, carry about 220-230 yards with about 20 yards run out. I feel my SS is about 93-95mph but hopefully with some newly built confidence I can up that by a few mph. That's as good a range session with my driver as I have had in a long, long time.

I'm excited about these developments and can't wait to play tomorrow.
 
Looks good. You can play 250 in the shortgrass all day.

2 Observations:

1) Try for a little more width.

2) A bit more upright. Looks as if you are getting a touch too flat.
 
I'm still hitting it good, but trying a little more shoulder turn and a wider stance.

Anyone pick up on anything. Any improvements?

 
You really move your head alot but don't listen to me. I'm a hack. Looks good on you though. :p
