Hitting up on driver | Golf Monthly

Tried this last drill tonight and went from heel strikes to snap toe hooks.... from one extreme to another guess I need to find the in between... don't get me wrong there was a mixture of shots... good and bad, left right and straight but certainly helped shallow me out

good that the AoA beginning to shallow out some and that the location has moved from the heel! to toeside -

this should help some now to begin to locate middle & for sure if you do this not at full tilt so throttle back to somewheres like 60%

couple things to take on board with this is given a good forwards ball position with sternum (so head) back off of the ball with a secondary spine tilt that when the AoA more levels out or gets to + numbers the clubhead because of the arc is as well as traveling level or up it will also be traveling more left - so initial set up of alignments to whatever target is needs to be a tad to the right - this adjustment made at set-up not while in motion in trying to swing more rightfield

{how much secondary spine tilt? good rule is hold driver upside-down clubhead under chin shaft vertical through center body then tilt the upper chest trail shoulder down until the handle grip end touches the lead leg - would then be in a good ball park secondary spine tilt with driver given also the stance width is just a tad wider than the shoulders}

other things to consider is this secondary spine tilt is the upper body so first off at transition the weight pressure needs to go to the lead leg - it's not a secondary spine tilt that's got in motion by hanging the weight back on the trail leg any that will give ball direction issues both rightfield and left
& the upper body has to keep turning with the lead hip still clearing if this doesn't happen hips & body stop turning and there's a weight hang back on the trailside then snap hook land

if you get to a place that has the AoA more shallow and up with middle contact mostly but the ball still goin leftfield look to whether the hip is clearing good (as opposed the the hips staying square to target line) and the upper body is continuing to turn so chest ribcage 'opening up'

if all that seems to be in pretty good order and still some leftfields then goin to have to look at the orientation of the trail hand - is it too much 'under' the handle/ and/or the lead hand in that at set-up are you able to see the whole logo on the glove - if so then most likely will need to rotate one or both hands a tad counterclockwise on the handle
