Split-grip six-checkpoint driver drill
A split-grip driver drill built on six checkpoints. Rotate the club back using the lead shoulder blade rather than rotating the hands, which the instructor says interferes with the body turn and hinge. Continue to an L with the hands in the middle of the chest, then keep rotating until the shaft points left of the target and rests in the trail index. Because the driver requires hanging back with a slight delay in the weight shift, rotate the hips and sit; release after impact like shaking hands with someone; and finish at three-quarter with the shaft parallel to the ground and to the target.
