Keep 60-40 trail-side weight to hit up on driver

For the driver, even after you bump your hip forward, your upper body stays supported more on your right side, around 60-40. Leave the upper body alone and just bump the hip; combined with the forward ball position, this puts you in position to hit up on the ball without trying to.
