Erika Larkin uses an alignment stick to help you visualize and feel the correct swing path with your driver. Try this drill out and start hitting longer drives with an ascending strike.

Daily Video Tips
Thanks, Erika. How does this description relate to shallowing the club on the downswing?
Will the on plane driver drill apply to your irons as well? I tend to a swing my driver and fairway woods well and similar to your video. I’m not as accurate wit my iron shots. Your driver plane video makes me think I may be coming down from a steeper backswing.
Hi, Most of my best shots are dead pulls. I must be on an out to in swing path, but I can’t correct it.
Please help me to understand your method for on plane driving and the recommendation that is made to “shallow the angle” of the club by bringing the trail elbow closer into the body before impact. Thanks!
any tricks to keeping your backswing from getting off plane? Everytime I try to get my backswing to parallel I slice badly, always when I want more distance
It isn't the back swing that causes a slice. It is a product of the club face being open to the path of the swing. Often when one tries to overswing to get more distance the club has a tendency to come from outside in and if the face is square to the line, then a slice occurs
great drill. i use a similar set up with a med ball in the gym
