In this lesson, Craig Jones shows the move that helped him start hitting his driver longer and straighter than he did five years ago. If you’ve been losing distance or fighting your driver, this is the change that makes the biggest difference.
Craig breaks down the real cause of weak, inconsistent drives — hands that never get deep, a path that drifts over the top, and a release that happens at the wrong time. You’ll see side-by-side swings from years ago compared to now, and exactly how a small shift to an inside path and a later whip through impact unlocked effortless speed.
You’ll also learn the simple drill Craig used to rebuild his driver swing: elbows working together, arms staying connected, constant body rotation, and training the whip the right way. This is the same drill he’s used over the past year to gain distance, improve accuracy, and finally trust the driver again.

Learn how to build driver distance without swinging harder. This approach helps you create a better path, time the release correctly, and generate speed where it actually matters — through the ball.
What You’ll Learn:
How an inside path unlocks effortless driver distance Why early release kills power and consistency The whip move that creates real speed through impact A simple connected-arms drill you can practice anywhere How to train driver mechanics safely at home Why small, slow practice swings build real speed How to get more out of your natural swing speed
