Golf setup tweak boosts driver distance

Adjusting hip and arm position at address can help golfers hit longer drives without swinging harder.

A simple change to the setup position before swinging the driver can increase attack angle and add distance. The adjustment involves bumping the lead hip slightly toward the target to create proper lower body tilt. Golfers are also advised to point the trail elbow more toward the trail hip when gripping the club. These tweaks help produce a more positive attack angle for higher launch and lower spin. The advice comes from a lesson with Top 100 Teacher Jason Baile and is aimed at players seeking more distance off the tee.
