▶ this video This is a great video on driving by Padraig Harrington. I literally couldn’t hit my driver before watching this, mostly because I had no idea of the mechanics of the driver swing. But he explains things so simply in this video. Hope it helps!

This video posted by Padraig Harrington is exceptional. Particularly the motion of your hips/using the ground as leverage around the 7 minute mark. His stuff is a treasure trove of information. I emphasize this video due to your concerns with the big stick. I hope this helps! [▶ this video
