Push trail hip to square your driver alignment

When the driver ball position moves forward, the body can twist open. The speaker's fix is to push the trail hip toward the target so the hips, shoulders, and forearms come back square. The speaker notes this also tilts the spine back about 3 degrees, which sets up an ascending angle of attack that removes some backspin, giving a more boring flight that runs out more for distance.
