In this section, Bobby Eldridge makes an introduction by asking how many of you struggle hitting with their driver.

In this section, Bobby Eldridge compares a driver and a 3 wood. A driver has 8 degrees of loft which makes its face very flat. If you happen to have the club face a little open or a little close in impact it will affect how far and where the ball will go. On the other hand, a 3 wood has a lot more loft compare to a driver and will greatly decrease you chance of hitting the ball curve. Bobby Eldridge recommends using a wooden, lofted golf club instead of a driver when struggling on your full golf swing in the first couple of rounds playing.
