GET BACK TO ADDRESS
Remember, the downswing just happens. You can't "think it through" the way you do the backswing. So the final thing Pro wants me to be aware of isn't a swing thought, per se, it's a goal: As I strike the ball, the club should be in nearly the same position it was at address. That means two things. The first is the angle of the shaft, when viewed from behind me on the target line (pictured), should look about the same at address and impact.The second is the one Pro really emphasizes. Assuming I addressed the ball in line with my front shoulder, the club's shaft should be pointing 90 degrees to the ball when I strike it—again, just like at address (face-on view). This indicates that the clubface is pointing where I want the ball to go. Make some slow-motion practice swings to check this. You want your hands to be directly in line with the tee at impact. Put this feel into action, and you'll drive it better than ever.Russell Henley, who ranked seventh in total driving on the PGA Tour in 2015, has two tour wins.
