Adjust your set-up to drive it straighter

July 2025

This is the driver set-up position that has been coached for years. Okay, I've exaggerated it a bit, but most golfers will have been taught to set the ball just inside the lead heel and lean back as here, the idea being that you must hit up on the ball with the driver. What if I told you to try something different?

- By Top 50 Coach Anders Mankert

Adjust your set-up to drive it straighter

If you got most tour pros on Trackman with the driver, you'd see them hitting 1-1.5° down. Modern drivers are designed to launch the ball high with low spin, so you don't need to put the ball miles forward in your stance and lean back.
