This video will knock your socks off with options with the driver to find more fairways and raise your accuracy with the big stick! One of the tips we will give you will allow your driver swing to track way more accurately along your target line!
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

There is exactly one thing that is the most detrimental problem with driver accuracy. It’s adrenaline.
When you step up to smash a ball, the natural concept of hitting further is your body winds up just a little more. More power, it thinks. That’s generally right, but when your backswing gets too long, it is very unlikely you will unwind and hit the ball in the way you wanted to.
How can you tell? It’s easy. If the rest of your body causes you to move your lead cheek – yes, cheek on your face – you’re toast. This is because you can control the path of the club until you reset your eyes and change your perspective. As soon as you reestablish a location for your eyes, your body automagically goes into an emergency mode of “just make contact/don’t fail”. When you do, you are at the mercy of how you’ve set up, and the balance you’ve put yourself into by overextending.
This is why pros try to stay limber and flexible. If they do, that gives them more backswing without changing their body orientation and balance! It is why we can all usually be very successful with 80% power shots; we don’t change the intended balance and position on transition into downswing.
I hope this helps someone. Cheers.

I found this fascinating to think about changing ball position and feet position rather than changing my swing. Gonna try it next time out!! Thnx!!!

No way his club head speed is 110 mph. He has no shoulder tune and thus no torque to produce that kind of speed.

Grip down one inch on driver. Play to strength, fade or draw. Takeaway low and slow.
