Set-up for driving success..!

The most common set-up error I see is to do with a golfer setting up tho the driver with their shoulders too open (to the left for right-handed golfers). This will invariably lead to a swing path that cuts across the ball, causing the ball to go from left to right. 

The main reason this is such a common error is that the ball is forward in the stance, so if you point your chest at the ball, your shoulders will be open.

A good drill is to point your chest at a tee one grip length behind the ball (you can even do a few set-ups putting the clubhead there).

This will definitely help you to get your shoulders aligned more squarely and produce straight shots.

Personal Lesson: Blending Turn & Hinge | Golf Australia Magazine When I see people working on their swings, one of the most common things I see people focusing on is turning their shoulders, which is no doubt important, but often can leave the first part of the swing lacking enough hinge, in both the wrists and elbow. This tends to make people drag the club and arms too much to the inside of a good swing path on the backswing (pics 1 & 2). A good drill to help you feel the proper blend of turn and hinge is to practise the first part of the swing gripping cross-handed. Firstly, grip the club normally, then place your top hand below your bottom hand, leaving room above the bottom hand. The club will hover off the ground. The elbow of the hand that is now on top will feel tucked in more than normal (pics 3 & 4). Now, hinge away to waist high, feeling the hand that is now on top of the club (the right hand for right-handers), stays underneath the hand that was below at address and the elbow will point down (pics 5 & 6). Now take the hand that is now sitting higher (the left hand for right-handers) and place it back on the club where it would normally sit (pic 7). The club should now be sitting on the ideal plane. From this position, you are now free to turn your shoulders to the top.
