Andrew Rice
You step up to the tee on a par 5 and it’s downwind with no hazards in sight; what can you do to smash a drive without having to swing out of your shoes? Andrew Rice breaks down how you can optimize your setup and contact to hit it farther in this situation.

Daily Video Tips
Curious - why/how does hitting higher up on the clubface reduce spin? What does lower spin mean for control - does it just launch higher, or does it have an effect on slices or hooks?
Does a10 degree driver go farther than 9 degree driver .
It depends on who is hitting it and the specifics of their swing ie swing speed, attack angle, spin rate to name a few
Great tip, Andrew. Could you do one on riding a cross-wind?
You said don’t do this all the time. Why not?
Makes sense the15th at Mornington GC , Victoria, Australia is a shot over a hill. Generally, there is a crosswind; either right to left over water or left to right from Antarctica, a helping tailwind is a rare luxury. Without challenge, there can be no success.
What is wrong with using this all the time except when hitting into the wind? Does it cause less accurate direction?
