I tend to struggle off of the tee because my driver can send the ball in both directions (slice and hook). What scares the devil out of me is hitting a driver from a tree lined, narrow space tee box in order to get the ball to the fairway. I’d like to learn how to play a straight or at least straighter tee shot that will allow me to play from these tee boxes and also to help me drive better in general. What would you suggest I need to do? David W. Greenville, NC
Here’s some good news! With a little bit of practice time, you can likely learn to hit a fairly straight tee shot by making a few simple adjustments that will help match up key ball flight factors to give you a straight or fairly straight tee shot.
Simply utilize your knowledge of the D-Plane as you swing on a Driver horizontal swing plane of 45 degrees, while controlling your Angle of Attack, Club Swing Path, Clubface Orientation at Impact to create the perfect Horizontal and Vertical Launch conditions with just the right spin loft & spin axis to hit a perfectly straight shot! ☺
In English Please?
#1: Decide on what kind of ball flight (shot shape) you desire to hit BEFORE you swing.
So often, I have seen players fail at pulling off this intimidating golf shot because they never committed to what kind of ball flight they were going to hit. In essence they fail because they are playing the inner game of ‘hit and hope’. Tee shots played in this manner become like a box of Cracker Jacks, you never know what prize is going to come out of the box! When faced with a very narrow hitting zone you will want to hit the ball as straight or nearly straight as possible. But, you must commit to trying to play one of your three basic options (straight, a slight fade, or a slight draw) rather than swinging away without a particular ball flight in mind!
#2: Understand what’s important.
Science has proven that there are several ways to hit a straight shot. Assuming a centered impact on the driver face, the initial direction of the ball is dominated by the orientation of the clubface at impact (up to 85%!) with the clubhead swing path accounting for the other 15%. A centered impact is critical because off-center hits (toe/heel, high or low on face) bring a lot of other factors that will influence the resulting ball flight.
You simply need to have three basic elements match up to create the shot you desire. Those elements are:
Clubface orientation at impact relative to swing path.
Direction that the clubhead swing path is moving at impact relative to target line
Angle of Attack (whether the club is swinging upward (+ angle) or downward (- angle) at impact.
#3: Tee Shot: Decide whether to swing Up vs. Down through the ball.
If you are like the vast majority of golfers who swing their Driver at a clubhead speed of less than 104mph, you should make sure that you are swinging your clubhead on an upward angle (+ angle) through the ball. I suggest that you try to swing approximately +3 degrees UP through your tee shot.
#4: Adjust your swing to allow key elements to Match Up for a straight shot.
Now that you are swinging your clubhead on an upward +3 degree angle, you should also match that with a clubhead swing path that is inside to out in relation to your target line by the same 3 degrees.
Your final adjustment will be to deliver a clubface orientation at impact that ‘zero’s out’ to create a straight or nearly straight ball flight.
#5 Practice your adjustments.
So how can golfer do this every time? Give yourself some time on the practice tee to work through these adjustments. If you are looking for a long-term solution vs. a short-term fix, please work through them ONE adjustment at a time and be patient to achieve the end result. Your diligent practice will allow you to learn on your own what to do and how it feels when you do it correctly. Now it’s time to trust what you have learned and take it to the golf course. Simply swing with a mind that is confident, ready, and committed to making a great shot.
