How to Set Up to Bust One
It's easier than you think

This story is for you if...

• You're missing the sweet spot with your driver
• As a result, you're not getting much distance off the tee
• You think your swing is the problem, not your address position

Check This!

Take your address in front of a mirror. If your head is over your right knee, you're tilted too far to the right. That might seem a little insignificant, but it actually affects everything else in your swing. The most efficient — and fastest — rotation occurs when your lower body is stable, and the only way to achieve that is by being centered and balanced at address. Here's how to set up properly for power.

Address

Because your right hand is below your left hand on the grip, tilt your right shoulder down the same amount. Feel like you're "on top" of the ball, with your head just slightly back of center.
