Ditch this misconception to *really* start crushing your driver. Here’s how
A common misconception is that when using a driver, a big backswing generates lots of power and accuracy. However, the most mechanically efficient movement is one where less movement and effort produces more results. Think of it this way – if you try to hit the ball as hard as possible, aiming becomes nearly impossible. Aiming and swinging hard cannot coexist for long. Instead, when we control our takeaway (or backswing), and downswing, this mechanical efficiency allows us to achieve our ultimate goal: hitting the ball both further and more accurately.
