I Learned How Make The Driver Swing as Easy As Possible

This is the easiest driver golf swing to help you hit more fairways and hit your driver correctly every time. To do that we need you to stop doing this, we need less of this, we need a lot less of this and certainly less of this which will create a lot more. of this straight drives hit consistently let's show you how with the simplest golf swing you can use with your driver so let's start with club on the ground or hovering when you set your driver up so if you're someone who wants to start with a club on the ground you've got to make sure you set it up slightly out the toe Because remember when you hit this ball the club's going to be off the ground because the ball's on the tee and if I just pick this club up you're going to see that lines it back up with the middle. If you start with the club on the ground with the ball lined in the middle of the head what happens when I hit the ball I pick that club up it's going to move the strike towards the heel and we don't want you hitting it out of the heel. Now if you're like me, I hover the club so I can just set that ball pretty much to the middle of that head because even though I set the club on the ground just before I start my swing, I pick the club up to become a hoverer of that club. Then ball position and shaft lean. They're very linked up. We're trying to get the shaft to come pretty much straight out of the head. So somewhere in that kind of region. What I see is a common mistake with golfers with the driver is they put the ball way forward. That leans the shaft back. This is really encouraging out to in club path. And those frustrating slices that you don't want. If you want to hit longer and straighter drives, let's get that shaft lean and ball position working for you. coming pretty straight out of that head. Ball position anywhere between the heel on your left foot to a couple of inches inside. Think of ball position as a playing field so if you're someone who wants to vary the launch you might go two inches inside left heel. If you want to get your highest one you might go off the heel. Think of a kind of two inch playing field almost the width of the head of the driver between the heel and just inside. That with good shaft leans That means setting you up to win. Then width for stance and foot flare. So I want you to get good solid wide base. So many golfers start with their feet really narrow. This encourages kind of swaying actions again, creating very wild tee shots. We want a good solid base of the gap between your two feet. Roundabout shoulders width. Try and think of a triangle coming out of your hips. So you want more stability than your hips would give you. See how my legs are coming out from my hips? We don't want your legs under those hips. Work that. Width for stance in, bearing in mind your ball position too, and then foot flare. Let's get the lead foot turned out about 15 degrees with the left foot for me, right foot about five degrees. Common mistake with foot flare is actually the opposite way around. Back foot flips out more than front foot, no good for turns, good for sways, and again those horrible slice tee shots. 15 turned out with lead foot, good for getting through, a little bit of stability in the right foot. And then posture and alignment. So posture, wanna get a little bit of bend coming from your waist, your pelvis, your belt buckle. Just bend that forwards. A good idea with if your posture's in a good place, as well as distance from the ball, is you want your chin to be over the middle of your two hands. So if I was stretching for it here, you can see my hands are forward of my chin. You don't see many golfers do this with driver where they get close where the chin's coming over the grip. Just try and feel like the chin is over the middle of your two hands. That gives you a good set with your posture and also helps you with your distance away from the ball. And then when it comes to alignment, you're trying to get your feet, your knees, your hips, your shoulders relatively parallel to that ball to target line to try and give you some good visuals of swinging straight down that line for straight long tee shots. So let's build a good backswing now you're set up to go. So when it comes to building a good backswing, first thing you wanna do is try and get some good shoulder turn going. You wanna think of shoulder turns and tilts. Easiest way to do that is to try and get your left shoulder to cover your right foot as you look in your swing. So as I go into the top of my backswing, when I look down here, I can't see my left foot. My right shoulder is covering it. That does two things. It gives us good turn. But at the same time, good tilts. So if I'm turning and my shoulder's coming up, I'm getting close to the ball with my shoulder. You wanna feel like your shoulder's moving down into that right foot. Now at the same time, we want some stretch with your arms. Far too common do we see golfers with their drivers just let their arms fold onto their shoulder. So try and create a bit of space. So once you've got that body turning, left shoulder to right foot feeling, try and feel like your hands and arms I'm just pushing away from you get that little bit of stretch and an easy way to do that is feel like your trail hand your right arm is bending so you want your right wrist to bend more than you think so if i don't bend my right wrist much to get the club back i tend to use my elbows more if i bend my right wrist back a lot more what happens is i tend to get good stretch and reach so as you're moving back good shoulder turn and feel as you move into your back swing that you're bending trail wrist right wrist as hard as you can to set that club back with good stretch and then the final part with backswing which is counterintuitive to lots of golfers Forget low and slow Just forget taking that club back low and slow What we find from better golfers is they tend to be quite quick into their backswing they slow down to finish the top of their backswing and then they pull hard in the start of the downswing where amateurs feel like their backswing has to be really slow and deliberate this creates bounce back we don't want bounce back so slow and then they get quick at the top and bounce back which chucks the club kind of over here so with pace of your takeaway let's get a little bit of pull back with that club feel like you are actually pulling that club back with a bit of speed you want to go quick to slow and then quick into the downswing. Counterintuitive for lots of golfers If you just get that backswing just pulling back a bit faster you'll be amazed at how good it is at controlling the face. So you've set up well, your backswing's in a great place you've got to now start the downswing. So how should you start the downswing with your driver? The common issue we see over and over again with driver is people like to start their downswing by really rotating hard, so feel like they're turning their body fast. Now where there is an element of downswing where the body needs to rotate Quick, it's generally down by the ball that's happening If you come out of that downswing too fast with a rotation, what happens is it tends to throw the club out, throwing that path of the club out again for lots of golfers hitting down and to the left, creating other pulls, all those big horrible slices off to the right. So first stage of starting that downswing, really simple trigger really simple golf swing tip to start the downswing is to try and feel like you keep your back to target for as long as you can in that downswing so as soon as I start pulling my arms down I want them to come down this side of my body which is made easier if my back is staying to target for a bit longer rather than just opening that body up and throwing those clubs out so in your backswing you're going to set yourself up bit of space but as soon as you start that downswing just try and feel like you're in your backswing for a bit longer is the Here's the trigger. So good for down from the inside club path. Then the second part of your downswing that's going to help you get good distance, really good strike, even encourage you to hit up at this ball a little bit because it's on the tee, is I want you to feel like as you keep yourself back to target for longer in that downswing, that you're pushing down into this left foot. So really feel like you're loading your left foot up. Don't be afraid to feel like your hips almost go across and down into this foot. Then to turn. Turn the corner so they get the club from behind you to get out in front of you. What you can then do, load left foot up to feel like you've straightened that left leg out. Just spring out of the downswing, which is going to give you that straighter path and fantastic golf strikes. Now, I said this would be simple, and it is, but it sounds like a lot of information, doesn't it? So think of setup. Setup is something you can practice at home. You can just get that set so when you get to the course you're not having to process all that information. Back swing and down swing really work together almost as one synced thought. So think about practicing setup so it's routine. Think of that back swing and down swing thought for that simple golf swing. You're going to rotate your shoulders a lot with that bit of tilt and then just stay in that position for longer and turn out. It's one simple fluid action It's gonna lead to longer, straighter drives. Boom and lower scores. Now if you want to find out how far you want to or should be hitting your driver, this video is shocking a lot of people about how far they should hit it.
