What is an offset golf driver, and how can it help me? Now an offset golf driver, is when the hosel of the club is actually set forward of the clubface. So the hosel is set forward of the clubface, the clubface is behind the hosel. Now what this effectively does, it gives the clubface more chance to square and to rotate close at the point of impact. And therefore it’s normally helping and normally used by slices of the ball. You stir the ball left and curve it around to the right because of an open clubface. Now when you actually use an offset driver, it well help keep the ball straighter. However, it will tend to mask any swing force that you might have. So if you’re struggling with the slice and you decide to switch to an offset driver, it will close the clubface effective to what you normally do produce. However, your clubface in relation to your swing path will still be remaining open.

Therefore that slice will have a habit of still creeping back in there. An offset driver simply covers up a swing fault it doesn’t fix it. So if you are struggling with the slice try and fix your technique before moving onto an offset driver. If you are struggling with the slice and you can’t seem to fit it no matter what you do, give an offset driver a go, and see if it will work for you. However, if your technique is flawed, no amount of actual altering of the club can help that. But give it a go, and see how it works for you.
