Buckle Drill

Problem

You want to make longer drives.

Cure

Work on gaining a balanced finished with your belt buckle pointing towards the target.

Therapy

Practice hitting your driver slowly. Remember to keep your chin off of your chest. Just work on making a smooth tempo at first. Then focus on making a good arm extension at impact and well after it. Once you have these two key thoughts naturally in your swing, work on making a full coil at the top of your swing. As you do this, make sure your body weight is shifting onto your trailing leg. Remember to keep your smooth tempo with arm extension as you move through the ball with your body weight shifting onto your forward leg. Finally, focus on finishing your swing with your belt buckle pointing towards the target. Once all of these steps feel natural in your swing, you will want to slowly increase the speed but make sure you always have a nice tempo and balanced finish.
