Episode notes
Practice Center Strikes Deliberately
- Practice hitting specific points on the driver face to improve center strikes and increase average distance.
- Use finger wetting, foot spray, stickers, or a launch monitor to track and train impact location.
Shorter Shafts Improved Center Strike
- Lou and colleagues saw golfers shorten driver shafts and gain consistency on a GC Quad launch monitor.
- Shorter shafts improved center strikes and produced equal or slightly more average distance.
Reduce Ball Curvature To Add Carry
- Reduce curvature (slice/draw) to gain carry by tightening face-to-path alignment.
- Control wrist angles and use more lateral shift with less rotation to change path and reduce curve.
