"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result... and I have been INSANE with my driver for four decades." 😵
Can a 50 cent tea towel finally correct my driver swing path?
If you struggle with powerless effort instead of effortless power, or if you’re tired of blocking slices and snap hooks off the tee, this episode of The Rebuild is your turning point. Host Colin Weston reunites with PGA Teaching Pro Quinn Vilneff to tackle the "bane of his existence"—the driver.
Watch as Quinn diagnoses Colin's 7-degree left club path and introduces a surprising (and cheap) training aid: a simple towel. In this 20-minute masterclass, you’ll learn why traditional swing thoughts fail with the longest club in your bag and how to finally build a driver swing that neutralizes your path and increases ball speed.

What You’ll Learn in This Golf Lesson:
The Towel Drill: How a 20-cent towel is more effective than a $200 training aid to force your club path from negative (left) to neutral or inside-out.
Step-by-Step Reprogramming: Why you must start swinging slowly without a ball to eliminate the "left path" habit, and how to add speed after the movement pattern is fixed.
The Two-Piece Puzzle: Why fixing your path (step 1) will initially send the ball right, and how to later layer in clubface control to turn those blocks into powerful, low-spin draws.
