Driver drill: point the grip a yard over the ball

A driver drill to feel the correct tilts and turns. From address with a light driver, hold the end of the grip pointing down/away from you; as you swing back, try to get the grip to point about a yard over the ball (not too flat, not too low). On the way through, get the clubhead to point about half a yard outside the ball. Done right you'll feel your head on the side and your foot rolling in.
