Maximize Your Driver’s Performance with Just 2 Adjustments

Struggling to hit the ball consistently? Don’t overlook the importance of proper driver setup. With just two simple tweaks, you can unlock increased power and accuracy.

Firstly, adjust your tee height. The ball should be positioned just below the equator to ensure optimal launch conditions.

This step drill is 1 key to Xander Schauffele’s improved driving stats

Xander Schauffele’s iron play has long been a strength, but after years of struggling with his driver, he’s developed a new tool to improve his driving stats: a step drill.

The step drill is a device that helps golfers find the correct angle of attack for their swing. Schauffele began using the drill in 2023, and he says it has helped him to shallow out his swing and make better contact with the ball.

The results have been evident in Schauffele’s stats. In 2022, he ranked 180th on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy. This year, he’s up to 12th. He’s also averaging over 10 yards more per drive.

Schauffele’s improvement is a testament to the power of a simple drill. If you’re struggling with your driving, it’s worth giving the step drill a try.
