I’m having trouble translating my „iron swing“ to my driver.

Stanley W · · Germany
Hello, I’m having trouble translating my „iron swing“ to my driver. I am able to use my left leg to generate a lot of speed in my irons, but it doesn’t seem to translate well to my driver. To try to get the same effect with my driver as with my irons, I have been swinging with the left arm only, and that seems about right. But I don’t seem to be able to add the right hand. The driver swing seems too strenuous, and that should not be! In one driver-specific video, with Chuck Quinton and a student, the student compares the right hand motion to a Dan Quisenberry fastball (Quisenberry with a submarine pitcher with the KC Royals baseball team). In Bomb your driver/Speed/Lag drills the instructor throws the balls down to the ground at a steeper angel, perhas towards his back foot, but I'm not sure this is driver-specific . Any suggestions? Best regards, Stanley

Hello Stanley. The trail hand can add speed, but to me sounds like setup and you need to make the same iron swing. Take a look at Proper Tee Height Video to get the setup correct. Then, Iron Vs Driver Swing Video. Use those first. From here we can reassess.
