Most senior golfers think they’re losing distance because of age…but what if the real reason is how they’re starting the driver swing? In this golf lesson, Danny Maude shares a simple driver setup and swing feel that can help senior golfers make a longer backswing, turn more freely, hit up on driver and create more distance without forcing the golf swing. After spending three days with world-class coach Andy Plummer, Danny learned a simple idea called the “wrench drill”. It helps you use your lead side as a pivot point so you can turn more easily, swing the club on a better arc, and release the club with more speed and control. If you struggle to hit driver straight, lose distance off the tee, slice your driver, or feel like your backswing has become shorter with age, this could be a game changer.
