Hit the Ball on the Upswing

Hit the Ball on the Upswing

This is a very common problem for golfers with taylormade burner 2.0 irons – and it's an awkward adjustment. The solution is very simple, however. Instead of setting your driver behind the ball such that the center of the face is aligned with the ball, move backwards a couple of inches (towards your back) such that the toe of your driver is aligned with the ball. Now do the test again. Stretch out your arms and pick the club up to the ball's height. Is the ball aligned with the center of the driver face? If so, put the club back down and fire! If not, keep moving back until it is.
Don't worry that once you set the driver down taylormade burner 2.0 doesn't align with the ball. The ball isn't on the ground - it's three inches above the ground!
The driver is now a specialty club, much like a putter. Our set-up, ball position – everything is different from any other burner 2.0 irons in the bag. You shouldn't be hitting the ball at the bottom – or apex – of the golf swing like a fairway wood. The ball should be struck past this point, on the upswing. This will lead to a higher launch angle and lower spin rate – which is how we are going to hit the ball farther than we ever have before.
