How do people that only swing at about 105 miles an hour still hit their drive between 275 and 280 yards? They hit the ball in the center of the face. If you are hooking the ball or feel like you’re slicing the ball, the one thing you could be doing is not keeping your angles when you swing.

When you take your address position, you want to feel your left shoulder move across and pressure into your right side, then the club shallows. Keep your body angles throughout the swing. Once you start hitting in the middle of the club it builds confidence and then you add more speed.
