My Learnings: #69

When hitting driver in golf, I've found success with a fairly strong grip—nothing extreme. Stand tall yet athletic; bending over leads to swinging around the body and big hooks. Instead, aim for a more vertical swing path. At address, keep your arms relaxed but extended, with elbows close together—nothing forced. From there, swiftly take the club back, focusing on feeling the shaft load in the first couple of feet of the backswing. Once that sensation hits, relax and let the swing unfold naturally. This approach, with its rhythm and relaxation, generates significant clubhead speed and clean contact. Lately, it's produced long, straight shots for me, though I still occasionally battle big draws. It might work for you too, but keep in mind I'm 6'5" with a 6'8" wingspan, so this model suits my frame.
