Poor Driving! Here are the Top 3 Culprits

LPGA Professional Teacher Christina Ricci shows how to assess and fix your tee shot misses.

If you really struggle off the tee (two-way misses, too too high or too low) then let’s take a look at three popular culprits so we can change that situation right now.

CULPRIT 1: Weak or messy grips. I share the grip I really like and the grip I really dislike.

CULPRIT 2: This is a BIG posture No-No. I see this too often in my camps. We’ll first asses and then dive into why this culprit is a big deal.

CULPRIT 3: The Trail Arm. Let’s assess and address the culprits that affect the backswing and downswing.

Let’s get to it.
