Get Your Drive In Play: Finding The Fairway Will Save Strokes
For most weekend golfers the driver can be the most challenging golf club in the bag to hit consistently. You would think with the modern technology it would be the easiest due to the overall size of the club head versus the ball it's a can't miss. What we must understand is that the driver has the least amount of loft on the clubface therefore making it the most challenging to control. More loft equals more control and less loft equals less control. The menace that stalks consistency with this club is over acceleration or simply put EGO. The driver is engineered to travel at the greatest speed of any club in your bag because it is the longest and the lightest. If the weekend golfer would learn to swing at never more than 80% of his maximum speed, his misses would get better and his good ones would be more often. Keys for a successful day of driving are rhythm, tempo, and balance. Focus on soft arms, low and slow takeaway, and always swing to a balanced finish. Let damage control versus distance be your primary attention on the next tee.
