HOW TO HIT THE DRIVER FOR BEGINNERS

Summary: Beginner’s Guide to Hitting the Driver

Why the Driver is Challenging

  • The driver is the longest and fastest club in the bag, making it difficult to control.
  • Unlike other clubs, the driver moves in an arcing motion, not a straight line.
  • The clubface opens and closes throughout the swing, making consistent contact tricky.

Key Concepts for a Better Swing

  1. Understanding the Arc
    • The club naturally moves on an arc around your body.
    • Trying to keep the club moving straight back and forward can lead to inconsistent shots.
  2. Clubface Rotation
    • The clubface rotates open on the backswing and closes through impact.
    • A great drill: Use your palm to mimic the clubface—rotate it back and through to understand the motion.
  3. Controlled Mini Swings
    • Start with waist-high to waist-high swings to get a feel for the correct motion.
    • Focus on making clean contact with the ball while keeping the swing arc and clubface rotation in mind.

Final Tips

  • Positioning matters: Stand further from the ball compared to other clubs.
  • Avoid common mistakes: Trying to swing in a straight line or keeping the clubface too square for too long.
  • Practice with small swings before going for full-power drives.

By understanding the arc of the swing and clubface rotation, beginner golfers can hit more consistent and straighter drives. Keep practicing, and with time, your accuracy and distance will improve! 🚀⛳
