Top 5 Driver Mistakes Killing Your Distance & Accuracy (Fix These Now!)

Struggling with your driver and not getting the distance, accuracy, or consistency you want? In this video, we break down the top 5 mistakes golfers make with their driver that prevent them from hitting up on the ball, striking the center of the clubface, and maximizing power.

✅ Mistake #1 – Poor Tee Height: Most golfers tee the ball too low, making it nearly impossible to launch the ball high with optimal spin and speed. Learn the correct tee height for better drives.
✅ Mistake #2 – Poor Ball Position: Many golfers put the ball too far forward in their stance, leading to slices, pulls, and inconsistent contact. I’ll show you the right ball position to strike it pure.
✅ Mistake #3 – Incorrect Clubhead Position at Address: Setting the clubface directly behind the ball at setup increases heel strikes. Learn how starting slightly toward the toe helps you find the sweet spot.
✅ Mistake #4 – Poor Shoulder Setup & Side Bend: Your shoulder alignment and tilt are crucial for an efficient launch. I’ll teach you the correct way to position your shoulders and spine tilt for a powerful strike.
✅ Mistake #5 – Holding onto the Club Too Long (Handle Drag): Many golfers delay the release, causing weak shots. Discover how to reach peak hand speed at waist high to release the club at the perfect time.
