In this tip, Martin Chuck provides a great visual that will help you make better swings with the driver. No matter your swing speed, getting the club’s mass behind you will help you hit it farther. Watch now!

Fantastic!!!
Thanks, Martin. This was a great tip!!!
Would I accomplish the same "behind" swing path if I simply keep my right elbow "attached" to my right side as I swing down?
Martin - thanks for another tremendous video tip for all Golf Pass Members! - I'd like to know what the 'mind' or 'thought process' needs to be as you 'begin' to drop the club? Essentially how to eliminate the arms from taking over the 'downswing'? Thanks!
Martin, would you advise this drill slowly (say 1/2 speed)? This would be my biggest weakness - driver. Allowing the club to drop at full speed is something I won’t likely control.
Martin,
At the top do you consciously manipulate the club COG down and back or are your wrists so loose they dont completely support the club weight? My wrists are pretty firm trying to maintain a flat lead wrist.
I use the TourStriker PlaneMate with the smaller green band but I am still having difficulty incorporating the Magic Move into my swing. I have followed your instructional videos and have worked with the device for about a year. I would appreciate your advice to incorporate it.
Martin,
I took that "balance point" tip to TopGolf yesterday and started to get the feel of it. Great tip. It's helping my consistency with the driver.
Thanks as always,
Cheers,
Wes
Hi Martin
Please explain and demonstrate how to play fade /power fade the driver As club is open to the path but how its then closed to the target
One might cite Lee Trevino or Dustin Johnson as proof of the video tip. However, Arnold Palmer said, "Swing your swing. I know, I did." In that case, one could cite Ben Hogan's solution or Jack Nicklaus' solution instead, both of whom swung on completely different planes.
Fantastic!!!
Thanks, Martin. This was a great tip!!!
