Natural Golf Driver

Align the ball just inside of left hip and inside left heel; about 5 balls ahead of center of body.

Widest stance of all clubs. Want to minimize any hip sway on backswing or forward swing. About one ball inside of grip.

Push hands away from right shoulder; more OUT than UP. Create "width" for more powerful swing.

Don't wrap club around body, take backswing to parallel, or overcock wrists. All of these lead to severe hooks.

Try to keep shaft to 45 degrees from parallel, with clubhead over left shoulder.

Maintain head and spine position and angles (behind ball). This is key to driving straight.

Think VERY smooth; gradually building speed on downswing and rotating wrists naturally after impact.

Aim for gentle draw; easy backswing and gradual acceleration on downswing.

Head steady and behind ball. Center of Gravity (belt buckle) should stay ahead of Center of Swing (sternum)

Make sure to rotate clubhead as you finish the swing. Avoid blocks and slices to the right.

Finish with some weight on the back foot. Some reverse-C OK; helps keep head back.
