Hover Your Driver For More Consistent Drives
By Nick Reinhart
Hi and welcome back to Golfdreamscometrue.com

Today you are going to learn about “hovering your
driver.” You may be asking what is hovering the
driver and how is it going to work right?

I will explain all of that in a second, but let’s
review why the driver is so important for just a
second. As we all know, most holes require a
driver and hitting your drives straight and long
is what we are all trying to do. Doing this more
often sets you up for opportunities to score
because you are in the fairway or at least a long
way from the tee which improves your chances of
getting on in 2.

So what does hovering the driver have to do with
this? Hovering the driver behind your ball
instead of grounding the club on the ground
allows you to be more consistent with your swing
and thus will produce better drives overall.

How does this make a difference you may be
asking. Well, think about it. When you take the
club back when it is resting on the ground, you
have to actually alter your swing or the arc of
your swing a bit on the way back to the ball to
hit up on it like you are supposed to do to
maximize your drives. With the large headed
drivers and longer tees that everyone is
advocating to use, it is difficult to start at a
resting point with the club on the ground and
then changing the arc or path of your swing in
order to hit up on the ball.

Hovering the driver behind the ball before you
start at the point where you want to hit the ball
off the tee, will allow you to swing freely

and
actually you will concentrate more on hitting the
ball. Think about it. When you have the club
hovering, you are really zeroing in on where you
want to hit the ball. By doing this, you are
programming your mind to just swing back and hit
the ball where the club is now and you don’t have
to do any manipulating of your swing.

Try it the next time you go out and play. I
think after you try it for a few holes, you will
see it really works.
