How to fix your game at the driving range

When I see amateurs practice at the range and show no signs of improvements -- or even start getting worst -- I wonder, What they can be working on?

Too many times people go to the driving range and try to fix their entire swing, thinking about their footwork, and their takeaway, and their head, and their weight shift, and their downswing trigger and etc.

Don’t be that guy. When you try to fix all your problems, you won’t fix any of them. I don’t care if your swing looks like a broken cotton-candy maker, the next time you practice, set aside all your other problems and focus on the main one. If your goal is to improve your grip, then with every ball and every swing, think about how your hands are placed on the club. This means even if you top one, your grip is still improving. That’s the reason for going to the range.
