Martin Hall taps into your imagination to help you hit draws with the driver. Think ‘pound the post’ at the beginning of the downswing and you will start crushing it off the tee.

Martin,
I used this ' pounding' imagery for my first drive of the year in chilly Wisconsin today and hit a brilliant down the middle drive. I played nine holes walking and didn't miss a drive!! I'm prone to going over the top so I'm excited to be introducing this new tactic going forward. Great tip - thank you.

Hi Martin,
My only question / concern is that it appears as though this move seems like "casting" the club. I appreciate any clarification you can provide. Thank you.
Hi Martin,
Does this down swing (e.g. Pound the post), always produce a draw or a slight draw? I'd like to incorporate that into my swing options for those shots that require a slight left to right/dogleg right (I'm a lefty so left to right is your opposite). Will that be the right strategy?
I have asked the same question twice because I forgot to check the "notify me when someone replies to my comment" option. Thx again

Good exercise to start downswing. Hip rotation should have started also. Best rule: never hit a draw (or fade) when an accidental “straight” engages a hazard!
Great tip!
Martin, is that the same way to do it with the irons?
good job I love the way you explain us.
Martin, it seems to me if start the down swing with my arms, (hammer the post) I would be more likely to swing with my arms (something I am trying to eliminate). Obviously I need to incorporate my lower body, but I don’t want to stuck after i hammer the post. Suggestions?
Love this.
Excellent drill
