Do you struggle to hit your drives consistently?
Do you find yourself feeling uncomfortable on the tee box when you have the driver in your hand?
If so, there's a good chance that your setup is incorrect. In fact, your ability to make a good clean strike on the golf ball, is a direct reflection of your ability to set up correctly. If there's one thing I see from higher handicap players when it comes to hitting the driver, it's an inconsistent set up.
If you really want to hit your golf drives consistently, then you're going to have to learn to set up consistently, and I'm going to give you five easy steps to help you set up perfectly every time.
A mistake that many amateurs make, is to approach the ball with both hands already gripped on the club. This is a big mistake, as it can severely restrict your ability to achieve the right hip and spine angles required at address, for a successful drive.
So here are the five steps that I recommend you adopt in order to complete a perfect driver setup...

step one :With the club gripped in your left hand only, (and I definitely recommend a slightly strong grip), approach the ball from the side and stand with both feet together. You want to position the ball directly opposite the center of your left foot. Both feet should be square to the target line. Your distance from the ball to your toes, with the driver, should be between 30 and 34 inches.
Step Two: Rotate your left foot 25 to 30 degrees towards the target. This will place the ball off of the inside of your heel, as is required.
Step Three: Step to the right with your right foot to a distance that puts your toes around 2 inches wider than the width of your shoulders. Keep your right foot square to the target line, in order to prevent you from shifting your weight too far to the right during the back swing. Your weight should be distributed evenly on both feet and slightly forward, on the balls of your feet.
Step Four: Now, move your right knee slightly inward towards the target line, letting your hips shift as you do so. This will align your hips slightly open to the target line, a position they need to be at, in order to lead the downswing.
Step Five: With the club head directly behind the ball, square to the target line, allow your right shoulder to drop downward as you reach across and naturally place your right hand on the grip. The club shaft should be vertical and the butt end of the club should be 2 inches forward of the center of your shoulders. I highly recommend that you find a tempo to use as you go through each of five steps, one that will match that of your own swing tempo, and use them as part of your pre-shot routine. This procedure will certainly help you with your driver. However, I would suggest you use this same setup for every club in your bag. The only thing that will change will be the width of your stance and your distance from the ball. Position the ball center of both feet for a 5 iron and center of your right foot for a 9 iron.
I promise you, that if you make a conscious effort to repeat these steps on the course, over and over again, until they become a natural part of your game, you will definitely find yourself striking the ball much more consistently
