Driver Off the Deck: Low, Penetrating Shot for Distance and Wind Control

Key Points

• Purpose: Great for extra distance into the wind; creates a low, topspin-heavy shot (wind cheater).
• 1. Ball Position:
  Place the ball just inside the front foot.Not too far forward or back — center it properly for clean contact.
• 2. Takeaway Technique:
  Swing low and slow on the takeaway.
• 3. Tempo & Timing:
  Slight pause at the top of the backswing.Then release smoothly through the ball.Remember the golden rule: "When it’s breezy, swing it easy."
• Result:
  Produces a low, penetrating stinger that won’t balloon up in the wind.Ideal for control and distance in tough conditions.
