Woods are designed differently than irons. With an iron, you should
essentially be hitting "down" on the ball. That's not really the case
with the woods, so it may cause problems if you set up to the ball in
exactly the fashion that I described above. Here's the solution.
First, get in to your normal setup position, as I describe above.
You've got the driver in hand, you're bent over at the hips, you're
back is perfectly straight, and you're ready to take a good swing.
Now, all you have to do is stand up a bit straighter. You should have
already determined the correct distance between your feet and the
ball. You just stand up a bit more straight, and reach out with you
arms to bring the head of the driver back to the ball.
You will need to experiment with the amount that you need to adjust
(it shouldn't be much). Your chest may move about 1 - 3 inches. It
doesn't seem like very much, but the change will be very noticeable.
Just remember that nothing else in your swing or setup changes. Your
lower body doesn't adjust because you have already determined the
correct distance between your feet and the ball. It's just a matter of
standing up a bit straighter, and then reaching out a bit more with
the arms to compensate.
