Your Driver Swing!!!

Set the Shaft at 45°

Studies show that your clubshaft should sit at an angle between 45 to 47 degrees as you swing into impact ( very similar to the ideal shaft angle at address). Since it's hard to know for sure what 45° feels like, set up using a square box as a guide. Set the heel of your driver against the far lower corner of the box, then adjust your stance so that the shaft crosses the high near corner. Now you are set.

I think the changes have given me freedom to move my hips faster on the downswing, increasing my distance as much as 10%, and I recommend them. At address most golfers will turn the left foot about 30° to the left. When i tried this particular stance i always felt that my hip turn was being checked too soon and that as a consequence I was losing power. My left foot is now turned out 45°. In addition, I have moved my right foot forward just a little so that my stance is a slightly open one, rather than closed as is more conventional. Thus I set up like a boxer who is about to throw a long right hand punch and who must get his body completely out of the way if he expects to hit his opponent hard. On the downswing i am able, like the boxer, to ach...
