No joke I just practiced this drill at the range especially the part where I feel like I'm just lifting my arms up at the end of the back swing and it did wonders to my ball striking. Is there a way I can transition this drill to fix my driver swing?

[@CrucesTotalGolf]

That’s awesome to hear! Glad the drill is already improving your ball striking. Transitioning it to your driver swing is definitely possible. With the driver, focus on maintaining that feeling of lifting the arms while also creating width at the top of the backswing. Then, let the arms drop naturally to start the downswing without rushing your shoulders. This helps prevent coming over the top and encourages a more in-to-out path, perfect for those longer, straighter drives. Let us know how it works for you!

a few questions if you don't mind! i play from something kind of similar (at least with irons) in that i pretty much do the faldo pre-set drill to start my swing, then go from there. i do suffer from runoff regardless, though, so this is super interesting to me and i'm gonna give it a shot and see how it feels. any thoughts on the difference between irons/driver with this? i've become extremely consistent with irons but driver is kind of a mess if i try to use my normal pre-set drill swing. and then, have you seen a big loss in speed with this? i know i've lost some speed with pre-set and i assume eliminating runoff is going to cost some speed.

Great questions! The Faldo pre-set drill is a solid approach, especially for keeping things controlled, but I get how runoff can still creep in. Giving this drill a try should help reduce that inconsistency, and I’m excited to hear how it feels for you! For irons vs. driver: The main difference comes down to the setup and the attack angle. With irons, you're hitting down slightly, so the pre-set and controlled motion work well. For the driver, though, the goal is to hit up on the ball, so maintaining width in your backswing and allowing a slight upward angle of attack is key. You may need to feel a bit more "stretch" at the top with your driver to avoid cutting off speed and ensure you're not losing the natural upward motion for distance. On speed loss: Yes, eliminating runoff can initially feel like you’re losing speed, but that’s often because you're gaining control and reducing wasted motion. Once you get used to the more efficient path, you'll likely find it easier to swing faster because everything syncs up better. Focus on quality of contact first, and speed will follow naturally. Let me know how it goes!
