There’s a lot of discussion and different opinions between pros about how to successfully hit and teach a driver swing. The average angle of attack on Tour is 1 degree down, however there are numerous Pros who hit up on the ball considerably.
Here’s Sean Foley discussing briefly why it’s a bad idea for most amateurs to try and hit up when they have a Driver in their hands.
I recently started doing just this for all the reasons stated. But I do find that l have a fade coming off the driver and the 3w has a nice little draw. Why do l get the fade when the swing is the same?
Hi Rob, that’s a good question. I guess my answer would be I’d have to see it to diagnose why. Assuming you’re hitting the ball out the middle, there has to be a difference in swing path/face at impact if you’re producing a different ball flight. The ball never lies!!
