Hitting accurate tee shots

[Chas]

yeah, but if your eyesight is like mine, unless you look up early, you'll never see the ball and will need others to tell you what happened. Mr. McGoo hits the track ....

What are the specs on your driver - i.e. shaft length, stiffness, weight, etc...

In post #9, it sounds like keeping the left arm straight did the trick for the OP.

i.e., good extension - like TW?

Obviously this could be very mechanical and you'd need to post vids or go get a couple lessons for that. But just from the mental side, I've found that I hit my target more often with the following. First, look at your target once you've fully set up your shot and are about to swing. Obviously we're supposed to look at the target. The key for me is next. When you turn your attention back to the ball, don't forget your target. I try to almost keep looking at the target in my mind's eye while I'm actually looking down and the ball and starting my swing. I want to feel almost a gravitational pull towards the target during my swing.

Focusing on this leads me to more accurate shots. Maybe it's just from the fact that it takes the mind's attention away from possible overload of mechanics thoughts. Who knows. But works for me.

oops, I meant to say, "Like TW likes to strongly emphasize." Of course it's received wisdom but it's interesting that Tiger has chosen to emphasize it such a lot in the past. Now he prolly has other issue in the swing department ....
