Re: Open stance with driver to clear my hips?

I don't normally 'hit the entire bucket with one club'.

My normal routine at the range is ...start with short irons to losen up, then skipping every other iron (P => 9 => 7 => 5=> 3) making my way to the 3-iron, then hybrid, 3-wood, driver....no more than 4 balls with each of these (maybe a 5th if the 4th wasn't good...I like to end on a good shot with any club), which is about 30-32 balls. When I come home for lunch, I usually hit 15-18 balls with one club...this week, I just wanted to make sure that the 'miracle' I've witnessed with my driver is for real. So I'm not insulted with your comment, but it's not my normal routine either.
Hi Bulls9999

I would make one suggestion to you. Since you seem to be pretty comfortable with how you're playing right now, I'd stand on a piece of paper or some such and mark where you are right now. Over time, the open stance will begin to feel natural to you and if you're still trying to open it up, you may end up overdoing it. If you do, having marked off the position that works will be very useful I would think.
