Full Swing · Feel

Add tilt and feel leaning back to fix a driver slice

With the driver, the ball is farther forward and the swing strikes upward, so the body has more tilt at impact and the head is farther back than with an iron. Push the hip forward, create the tilt, and turn the chest and hips while allowing the body to move toward the target; the motion may feel like leaning backward while turning through.

Try it

  1. Push the hip forward as you did with the iron
  2. Add more tilt so you feel almost like you're leaning backwards as you turn through
  3. Turn your chest and your hips and let it fall out towards the target

Why this context matters

Driver variation of the iron drill.
