If you hit all your other clubs well but the driver lets you down, a handful of fixable things are getting in your way — and this guide exposes every one of them.
or buy nowThis is a focused, no-padding guide written for the golfer who already strikes their irons cleanly but loses all consistency the moment they pull out the driver. It deliberately skips a full swing rebuild — because the driver shares the same head, grip and shaft principles as every other club, the author's view is that only a few critical things stand between you and driving the ball well.
Across four short sections — Introduction, Equipment, The Swing and Conclusion — it walks you through exactly what to check and change, from the shaft in your driver to how you tee up and set the ball at address.
By the end you'll know whether your driver problem lives in your equipment or your setup — and you'll have a clear, ordered checklist to fix it. Instead of guessing on the tee, you'll match your shaft, dial in your grip and loft, tee the ball to your natural shot shape, and set up to drive the ball higher, straighter and more consistently.
This book was written in answer to one question the author kept being asked: 'I can hit all my irons well but I greatly lack consistency with my driver. Can you give me some advice on what I need to do to hit my driver like my irons?' Rather than hand over another generic swing manual, he argues that the driver is essentially the same as your other clubs — a head, a grip and a shaft — so if you already strike your irons cleanly, only a few critical things are standing in your way.
The equipment section is where most of those things hide. The author calls the shaft by far the most important part of any golf club, and points out that 'regular' from one maker is not 'regular' from another — there are no universal standards for flex. His first piece of advice is simply to put the same shaft that's in your irons into your driver, which he says solves the driving problem nine times out of ten. He adds plain-spoken rules for grip thickness and for loft tied to your swing speed and carry, with the candid reminder to 'get rid of your ego' — a steel shaft or a higher-lofted driver that goes straighter and more consistently beats a few extra yards you only find once in a hundred swings.
From there it moves to the swing and setup. You're shown how to work with the driver's naturally rounded swing instead of fighting it, how to tee the ball to your shot shape (tee on the side of the trouble, aim away from it), and how to nail the fundamentals — ball position inside the left heel, a stronger grip showing three knuckles, and an intermediate target just in front of the ball to aim with. The author's view is that most driver trouble, for a golfer who's otherwise striking it well, comes down to setup rather than swing.
It closes with the smartest piece of advice in the book: rather than burning money on trial and error, take it to a good club fitter — and the author gives you the exact words to use so the fitter optimises your driver configuration without planting any notion of a swing overhaul in your head.
If your irons are already solid, the fix for your driver is closer — and simpler — than you think.
