The 4 IMPORTANT Tips For Hitting Driver With Ease

I try to actually keep my head in the picture frame behind the golf ball, like this. We want to do that without dropping your shoulders. The dropping your shoulders gets you stuck back here and underneath. See where I am? Swing to me. That's more of what you need to see. Look at that ball flight, guys. This is a big, big topic, and I want to make sure you understand this clearly. Whenever I see somebody set up with a wedge, and they're right in the middle of their stance, and that right hand looks like this, oh gee, I wonder what's going to happen when the right hand has to reach up for that driver. It's going to be exponential, okay? So here's the thing. People with a strong grip, with the right hand, especially trail hand, to me, I actually, even though it shuts the face, the good swing, the good swing, where you let it go, will hook. The bad swing is the one where you're hanging on for dear life because you know it's shut. Your subconscious is like, if I let this go, I'm over here. So what happens is the golfer that has that right hand over here then hangs on for dear life that way. A couple things I want to work on with you, okay? I'm going to hold the club your way, and I'm actually going to literally, watch this, I'm going to make my swing with your grip. Ready? Isn't that unbelievable? That's with my, watch this, I'll do the exact same thing. Watch the difference in the ball flight. What did I tell you? That ball wouldn't even get off the ground. It's a low hook. Here's the exact same swing. You guys watch. I'm not even going to exaggerate. And look at my right hand on top. Same person. I'm going to go harder around my left side. That's all this club face right there. That was me trying to do the exact same thing. Go extreme around my left side, right shoulder to the target, and what was that? A beautiful blistering little one yard cut up the middle of the fairway, right? I want to work on you being more square with your shoulders and your feet and your setup, okay? When you bump your hips, I want you to see this, guys, okay? And this is what I want you to check out. Great tip for everybody. When you set up with a driver, a lot of people set up open. Well, here's the thing with you. You're bumping the hip, and remember what we talked about yesterday. You're using way too much upper body to create this angle back here. So what Jer's doing is going like this. Jer, you're going like that. And what needs to happen is this. Leave the chest alone, bump the hip forward, and without dropping the shoulders, you can with the driver, give it an inch of slide this way. It's like a bump and slide, ready? It's like this, boom. But not where you're actually going like this. And what's happening is you're getting real strong, you're getting underneath, your shoulders are getting way out to the right, okay? And then the other killer, you set up this wide, you just don't have a base that's going to support the golf swing, okay? Absolutely, brother, absolutely. So let's do this right. Let's get the insides to the outsides of our shoulders, number one. Stand up. I gave you this yesterday. I think this is great for you. You can get the good grip from up here and give it the one and one, ready? One and one. Here it comes, ready? Boom. And then straight down. There you go. And here's all I care about from there. Just make your golf swing. You have a good golf swing. I'm sitting back here with the boys. I mean, Kevin's watching it. Alex is watching it. Your swing is good. It's just that you're pre-setting the problem. So let's process this, okay? Let's get in there. Insides of feet, outside shoulder. Line the ball up then on the inside of the foot, because if it's insides of feet to the outsides of the shoulder, now we have the right ball position of the inside of the foot. Just come up here. Come down. Find the right distance from the golf ball. Get that right hand grip correct. Watch. More square club face, straighter path because your shoulders are more square. We'll be in business. Now hey, if you're ever wondering if your shoulders are square, you can take the club and go like this, ready? Say I'm holding the club, ready? And see how the palms are matching? What you would have found is this. They're not matching. So this is a wonderful one for you just to set up with. And then right here. Great for putting also, by the way. Let's see it, buddy. Good width of stance first. Yeah, and look at his grip. See? This won't hook. At least we'll take that out of play. And now there's the good width of stance. A little wider. Just a hair. Beautiful. And then just a bump. Not so much the upper body turning. Make your swing now. Let's just see what we got. But hey, even though a little off balance, look at the ball flight. Dead straight, not one inch of movement on the golf ball, right? I wanted you to know that even though you fell a little off balance there, because this is going to dictate a more straight path, this is going to dictate a more square club face. You have two variables that can allow you to swing more aggressively and not fear having the hook. Because it's the fear of this one that leads to the big push out that way. And then all of a sudden the shoulders get going that way, and sometimes you probably make a pretty good swing that ends up going that way, you know? So just let's square you up. Atta boy. Look at this ball flight, guys. Look at this ball flight. I mean, dude. Dead straight. Atta boy. Oh, man. And you know what's funny? The only reason that had five yards of hook on it, with a good swing, you dropped your right hand under right before you pulled the trigger. When I get my right hand on top, watch my rotation. I can rotate around my front leg no problem. Look at that thing. Look where I am. I'm over here. And what did that ball come off with? Like a blazing little one yard cut right there, okay? That's like, that's the perfect little fairway finder right there, okay? That was me doing the opposite of what you do. That was taking the right hand grip and making it square, and then using my body's rotation to really show you how to do, that was more the opposite of what you do. Now, you know, that was me even moving into it more than I even would to hit a driver. I mean, if I wanted to launch that ball, you know, I would stay back a little bit more for me. But for you, you need to do more of what I just did. Right hand on top, here, here. The reason why you fall off balance is you get this strong right hand. You go under here, and you're up here like this, and it's like this, okay? Rather than being here, it starts with your grip. And then for the grip, you have to go square, and now I can rotate to square up the face. You know, I move into it no problem. This is the thought that I play golf with. I try to actually keep my head in the picture frame behind the golf ball, you know? And that makes a big difference for me in my ability to hit the golf ball the way I need to, but that's because as a kid, I used to go that way. I don't have a hanging back problem. I need to stay centered behind the ball. That's my thought. But your thought needs to be, hey, you need to feel like you're getting this right shoulder fully to the target, you know? And if you look at this, watch, I'll swing normal without thinking about anything, and you'll see, my right shoulder will get to the target even with me feeling like I'm staying centered. But the thing is, there's constant rotation because I have a grip that allows me to do so. And I want you to actually, before, Jay, before you hit the golf ball, I want you to look at me. See where I am? Swing to me. That's more of what you need to see. Look at that ball flight, guys. Look at the ball flight, and look at, we got more balance. That was in the air the longest of any drive. That was gold, what you just said. I was wringing the towel. And not letting it go. Not letting it go. We talked about the proper grip from him is not the underneath grip. I told him yesterday, wring out the towel, and you know what, maybe that gave you the perfect tension to where you could, and then you said, I'm not going to let it go, by the way. And then here's the cool thing. I just gave you some spatial awareness. I'm the kind of guy where you could tell me to keep my back to the target and then hit it. If you put a ball down right here and tell me to leave my sternum pointed at that ball, all of a sudden, like, I really can feel it. I'm a spatial awareness guy. So when I walked over here and I said, hey, just give me one little peek. Swing right to me. Well, all that is, is that's enough for you to be on the plane and actually get it going down the line and then finishing in the direction that you needed to finish in according to what your swing path naturally was, which was underneath and out right. Here's the summary, okay? We're going to leave this alone. When you bump your hips, you naturally get beautiful upper body tilt. What's the actual? The actual is if there's a neutral line, yeah, your chest is, your sternum's one inch right of that. Your hips are, your belt buckle's one inch left of that, like this. We want to do that without dropping your shoulders. The dropping your shoulders gets you stuck back here and underneath. The dropping your shoulders gets your right hand more underneath. So we keep your shoulders level, we bump your hips, we wring the towel. We wring the towel, we keep the tension there, and then we just get the feeling like we're swinging the left field a little bit. It's like my coach back in the day taking the shoestring, tying it to your belt loop right here, and literally pulling it at a 45 degree, he used to pull it like this, back this way. All right, here we go, you got this. Club face square, grip good, yes, man, let me tell you, look at that ball flight. I mean, those two drives out of three that you hit were in the air for literally three more seconds than the other ones. Let's go to lunch.
