Any tips or videos you've used that helped you improved your driver? THANKS! My confidence is so low with it that I struggle pulling it out of the bag at the range
First off, the longer the club, the farther away you should be from the ball; having said that, naturally the ball should be more forward in your stance. If your having trouble containing the ball with your driver/woods try slowing your swing down a bit and focus on maintaining tempo and swinging through the ball. Once you are able to control the ball at a slower speed and consistent tempo, increase your swing speed until you're able to bring your swing speed back up normal. It helps build confidence, control and helps you feel what's going on in your swing. Swing speed gives you distance, but if you work controlling your swing with consistent tempo, speed and distance come later.
