One way amateurs can improve their driving is to strike the ball slightly on the upswing. Many amateurs hit down on the ball with the driver. It's a desirable trait in iron play, but this descending motion with the driver imparts too much spin on the ball -- backspin and sidespin -- and robs your tee shots of distance and accuracy. A great tip to help you correct this problem is to turn your chin slightly away from your target at address. Then, as you swing back down to impact, sense that your chin points even farther behind the ball. This move was made famous by Jack Nicklaus, and it encourages your spine to stay behind the ball at impact -- a key to sweeping it off the tee.
