In this video, Harry Shaw reveals the exact pre swing routine you need to hit driver straight every time. You hit one drive straight down the middle… the next, lost in the trees, hitting driver straight feels like luck… but the truth is, straighter drives don’t start in your swing, they start before it. And it’s all down to your right arm (the trail arm).
If you’ve been searching for how to hit driver straight every time, how to improve your driver golf swing, or how to hit a golf ball straight, this lesson will give you a routine that makes hitting fairways seem automatic.
Stick around to the end, because harry also reveals how to match this setup with the correct arm motion during the backswing swing so you’ll deliver the club perfectly too.

So to hit driver straight, this is exactly what you need to do before every single swing. One drive straight down the middle, the next lost in the trees. For most golfers, hitting driver straight feels like luck. But here’s the truth. Straighter drives don’t start in your golf swing, they start before it. So, if you’re new to the channel, welcome.

So, take a look at these two setup positions here on the screen now. And watch my swing. My swing doesn’t change at all compared to one and the other. And the main difference, if we were to rewind that back to the setup position, is how my trail arm, my right arm sets up before I even make my golf swing. One of them we can see here the elbow facing towards the side on camera angle whereas the other one we can see it faces directly towards the body. Now the one facing towards the camera angle caused my golf ball to slice way off to the right making it difficult for me with the second shot. Whereas the second driver, the one with the elbow facing towards me, as you can see there, exactly the same swing, but I was able to hit it plum straight down the middle, leaving myself a pretty simple second shot here. So, the difference between these two here, the trail arm and the way it’s set is going to make or break your driver golf swing and help you hit straighter T- shots if you get it right. Now, let me explain why. If you have a look at any tour player, you watch them on tour and you see them from this face on view. They’ll set up to the golf ball with this arm set in a way that allows them to move in the golf swing, set the club into all the great positions for power, consistency, and accuracy. And they’re able to get themselves into these positions because they are set up at the setup position in a way that allows for the rest of that golf swing to take place. and we take a look at a lot of amateur golfers or students that have come and see me, a lot of them will set up with this elbow facing away. So, when I take this club back, I can only go so far on plane here before it starts to feel awkward. I either have to start picking up the golf club and we get this disconnection here or I continue rotating and my swing gets way too flat. And those reactions in that golf swing are what’s going to cause loads of inconsistencies taking place. If we can allow this arm to set the club as we make our way into the back swing more naturally, that’s going to make things much easier to bring it straight down and to get the driver straight into the back of the golf ball with a squared face. So, the trail arm controls the positions. The trail arm sets the club into the positions and if it’s out of position from the start, it makes it so much harder to achieve a reliable golf swing. So, before you make your next golf swing with driver, this is what I want you to do. this routine right here. So, it’s going to start off with you taking your trail arm out in front of you with the palm facing towards the ground. This here is that internally rotated position where we see the elbow facing away from the body. We want to see this now go into more of the externally rotated position. So, this here, all I’m doing is I’m rotating my hand over until it faces upwards. Just by doing that, simply me focusing up what my hand does, it completely changes the way my arm sets during this movement. We can see there it goes from internally rotated like this here to externally rotated. So now when I take the club out in front of me, all I’m going to do to make sure I grip onto the golf club here is just twist my wrist and see if I can keep my elbow facing down. If the elbow continues to face down with an ever so slight flex position here, as you can see, we’re in business. That’s the right position. That’s going to allow you to set the club beautifully during the golf swing. So, I’m going to take it just like this here and grip onto the golf club. Just ensuring that my elbows here stays tucked in front of the body, not to the side. I’m making sure when I do this movement here, it’s tucking in front of the body when I set up to the golf ball. Then it’s all about trusting the club and allowing the the arm to to set correctly and get yourself into the right positions. If we’re so used to being this way, internally rotated to the elbow facing away, we’re more likely to do this, aren’t we? So, this here is a complete change in your golf swing. So, what I would recommend here, just as a bonus tip, is just to ensure that you’re keeping your trail arm tucked into the body. Now, to do this, I’m going to do something simply by taking a head cover, or you can use a towel, whatever works best for you. Just have something that’s thick enough to place underneath the top of your trail arm, just like this here. Now, when I’m tucking this in, I’m just ensuring that at first I go through this routine. I’m having the arm out in front of me, and I’m placing this head cover here or towel directly in front of my chest muscle here. If it’s to the side, we’re gonna get stuck. We don’t want that in the golf swing. We want to keep this nice and free during the golf swing itself. I’m going to twist my hand back over to grip like so. So, what I’m focused on here during my golf swing now is simply keeping that towel tucked in. Now, that’s allowing my right arm to set into great positions here, whilst my lead arm, my left arm, stays nice and straight during the entire motion. So, how you should feel this arm working in the golf swing is getting ever so slightly folded, gradually, gradually falling all the way up to the top of the golf swing. As simple as that. As long as you commit to the shot, you will see straighter golf shots just like that one. This setup part here will set you up for success, but if your arm isn’t working properly during the swing, you could slip right back into old habits.
