STEP TWO Shorten your backswing
• Take the club back until your lead arm is parallel with the ground • Don’t load up and turn way off the ball • Feel like your chest is still hovering over the tee
STEP THREE Drag the club through
• Don’t lash at the ball • Swing into it with 80-percent effort • Feel like you’re dragging the club through behind your body • Focus on body rotation, not a whippy arm swing
STEP FOUR Deloft the face
• Swing through on a level or downward path • Try to reduce dynamic loft on the driver • Start the ball low (it should stay low with less spin) • Feel lower and longer after impact • Restrict your finish (like a knockdown shot)
