Strike Consistency: The Small Driver Adjustments That Can Make a Big Difference
One of the biggest mistakes golfers make with the driver is assuming a poor strike means they need a new swing.
Sometimes, they don’t.
In this lesson with Ian Fraser, we dug into one of the most common issues I see with driver performance: inconsistent strike, especially the low heel miss. And what made this session interesting was how quickly things started to improve with a couple of very simple setup changes.

We looked at tee height.
We looked at ball position.
And instead of blowing up the golf swing, we started by changing the variables that were easiest to control.
That alone moved the strike closer to the equator of the face, improved contact, and gave us a much better starting point before even thinking about bigger swing changes.
We also got into the harder piece of strike consistency — the heel-to-toe component — and broke down one of my favorite drills for helping players change where the club moves through impact without getting overly technical.
If you struggle with:
Low heel strikes
Inconsistent driver contact
Feeling solid at 70% but
losing strike at full speed
Not knowing whether the issue is swing or setup
Thanks for reading and watching!
