Louis Oosthuizen on Driving (Video)

I'm most effective going to make two remarks about this video. Take a look:

You've probable heard everything Louis says in this quick video. His swing is pretty a good deal what you'll name a 'textbook' swing.

Here's all I have to say about it: The key to Louis's swing is that he avoids extremes. Almost everything in his swing, from his setup to his swing path, is pretty much in the middle of what he is physically capable of doing. That helps him avoid most of the big problems that weekend golfers face.

But while you want to avoid the 'happy feet' he mentions in the video, Louis keeps his feet way too quiet. You don't want your lead foot to come up on your toes and twist as he shows in the video, that's for sure. But one big reason Louis fights back problems is because he keeps that lead heel glued to the ground, which puts too much stress on his lower back. Don't do that!

Except for that one aspect, there is enough desirable stuff in this video to help you hit higher drives. Enough stated.
