I'm going to show you how to hit more fairways, hit the ball further, beat your friends, all of the above and shoot lower scores and you know what, enjoy the game because there's nothing better than striping a driver down the middle of the fairway. We're going to keep it very simple, we're going to go through the fundamentals, we're going to make sure you're gripping it right, we're going to make sure you're set up right, then we're going to give you super super simple swing feel that's going to help you bomb the driver further than you ever have.

But let's get this bombed down the fairway first to see what you're going to be able to do very soon. Okay, so what are we looking for with the driver? How are we going to hit more fairways? How are we going to hit the ball further? And how are we going to shoot lower scores? The driver is really going to help with that. So what are we looking for? Well, we want to see that we're able to have the club travel on as much as close to as straight of a path as we can to the golf ball with the club face relatively square to that. Square to that would be great. The reason I like to see the path go straight to the golf ball is because if we're straight and we get the club face a little bit open then the ball is only going to start on the target line and go a little bit right. If we get it a little bit closed the ball is going to start on target line go a little bit left. This idea of swinging way on the outside or swinging way on the inside brings in too much of a variation because if I'm super inside I really have to work hard to square up that club face or actually get the club face closed to the path it's swinging on and therefore if I do it too much it's a It's a snap hook. If I don't do it enough, It's a block to the right. So we're making our miss way bigger. I love to see a path straight on. I think it was Ian Poulter who talked about this. I absolutely love it. And it certainly helps me and it certainly helps our players shoot lower scores and get hit more fairways. The other thing to consider is we don't want the club to be traveling down towards the ball, almost hitting the top of the ball because this club has no loft on it. And if I do that, then that ball is going to be going straight into the ground. And then what we also see that accompanies that is the club gets too far outside the ball, hits down on it. And we get that spinny slice or just straight low and left so we got to avoid those things. So I'm going to show you in this video like exactly how to set up to the golf ball so that you do all of those things that helps you create all of those things we're going to have some swing feels in here as well but they're going to be body related and not too much arm related this is going to really help you so do this in order don't skip to the end make sure you go with the grip you go with the setup the alignment everything is extremely important for this so we're going to start off with the grip and I've posted many many videos on the grip. I'm not going to go into this full detail on this okay. We're just going to go to the basics. A lot of the time I explain the wrong grip that we see but I'm not going to do that here. I'm just going to show you exactly what we're looking for and why. So what we're looking for is the lead hand to be in a relatively strong position okay. A lot of people teach us, you've probably seen this before, this is extremely important but also the important thing is that it's in the fingers. You can see here that it is not in my palm okay. We're going to get onto that in a little second. We can We can also see here that with The forefinger and the thumb, it almost looks like I'm holding a gun, it's almost like a trigger. Okay, that is the feeling when we set up with this grip. You can see here that the club is running from just below the tip of the index finger up to the base here in this little cradle where I can cradle my finger. The base of the pinky finger, that's where we want to see that. Then you wrap over. Now we've got this stronger position. The v-shape here is pointing up to the right shoulder or maybe even a little bit to the right of it and I can see three knuckles. This is a fantastic grip. Now what does this also give us? It gives us a really good strong arm structure and we need that. And if you look at a lot of the best drivers of the golf ball in the world, when they go back to impact you're going to see essentially a straight line with the arm all the way down to the driver at impact. This is what we're going to see. Really see the right hand pushing The pressure on to the ball. And now we're going to get into the right hand and what we want to see there. So remember that this is the grip you're looking for. Take a snapshot of that. That's what you want to see. One other consideration is that you can see the logo here is almost like pointing up towards my arm. A lot of people, when they get too weak here and in the palm, you would, I wouldn't even be able to see the logo and we can see that the logo is pointing down towards the target line. This is too weak. It gives us way too much of this way too much mobility. Also, it makes it very hard to set the club properly. We just get this weird Weird wrist structure. Club face gets closed there. We swing over the top and try and hold it open. It's just way too, way too hard to do that, you know, you're making things very difficult for yourself. So in the fingers, stronger position, okay. Now when this hand comes on, it is going to feel strange, okay, you just got to work through it. 50 balls, 60 balls at the range, committed to this grip, not caring where the ball goes is going to really help you. So what do we want to do? Well, we've seen that this thumb is kind of over here on this side of the grip it's not straight down the front because that would put me in the palm it's kind of over as i look down onto the right side of the grip and the pressure is like this now what i'm going to do is i'm going to use the trail hand in this area here where i can pinch my finger as you can see i can hold on to my finger there i'm going to be pinching onto this thumb like that when I bring this grip on. Now I recommend the easiest way to get this grip is to use the overlap, okay, a lot of people use interlock, some people use the baseball grip, the baseball grip is also good for this, this helps you get into this position, but what I find a lot of the time when people are interlocking their pinky on the trail hand into the index and the lead hand is that they really lock it in and you see that that's just way too locked in there and the pinky's really coming over here I can see it there. So when we do that, the hand is going to be here. It's very hard to get this over if you think you've got to really interlock If you're going to interlock with this grip, you want the pinky, the tip of the pinky, to just rest in the cradle where the finger starts in that little gap between the middle finger and the index finger and the trail hand. That's going to help you get this over. But I recommend overlap grip because that makes it a heck of a lot easier. And again, 50, 60 balls, you'll be used to this. I used to interlock Now this has become the greatest change I've ever made on my golf swing. And it's a grip change. So then when you see the hand on here first thing we notice is that the V shape here is pointing up to my face, but also I'm really pinching on that thumb. That's connecting, that's locking the hands together Okay, you can even do that, you can see that. So that is us locked in with the grip. Another thing to notice is it's in the fingers. Okay, I'm not grabbing on for dear life in the palms, it's in the fingers And the final thing is you can see that there's You can see that there's a bit of a separation here With the index finger. There's a little bit of a gap and you can see that the index finger is further down than the thumb. A lot of people will bring this try and keep the fingers together, that orientates the hands like this and gets us in this position again We're not able to get the connection between the hands and we're not able to get what we're after, which is opposing forces. The hands are coming on from opposite sides of the club, they're applying an equal yet opposite force What does that do? Well that gives us complete control of the club face. Look at that. If I go palmy with the grip, No control. So we got to get this grip. This is number one and this is like 50% of the work done because now you have club face control So no matter which way you swing the path like if I was to swing super inside the club face is square to the path. If I was to swing super outside the club face is square to the path so it would go there So what we have to do now is be able to figure out how do we set up and how do we feel in the swing to get this club to travel straight through here so I can get that square path and square face. It's the easiest way for you to do it. So now let's move on to the setup posture and the alignment which is super super key. With the setup posture before we take our two steps we're going to go here we've got leg straight, back straight club out in front and what we want to do is bend from the hip without pushing your butt back as best you can. So it's like you're trying to get the chest down and over until and if we keep the arms straight like this and we keep the club coming out of the belt buckle as we bend forward The club hits the ground. Now that's enough forward bend. Then it's our two steps. Then we're parallel. We're slightly open with the feet over and then we're square to slightly close with the shoulders. Okay, so what's key here is ball position. We gotta make sure we get the ball position correct. So what I like to do is we go through the setup drill, bend from the hip, club hits the ground. Then we're taking a small step with the lead foot and a bigger step with the trail foot, okay? This gets the ball position forward in the stance. This is gonna help us hit up on the golf ball. What's also essential, is that the feet are a little bit more than shoulder width apart, okay? That's just enough for us to be stable because we're going to be swinging fast here and it's not too much that we don't have enough mobility to turn, okay? So it's here small step big step a little bit wider than shoulder width apart And we're set up then with that hip bump. We're going to get this here. This is going to set the lower body With about 60 percent of our pressure in the lead foot. Now this is going to be very vital but what it does is it gets the spine back here and this is essential for hitting up on the golf ball. That's that attack angle we're looking for. Okay so we bump that hip forward but we don't send the whole body this way. We're not leaning this way because you'll see that will make the trail heel come off the ground. So we're bumping forward and we're keeping the head back. Once we're in this position and even with that grip with this setup With that bump in this position you will hit better golf shots without even having swing feels. You will hit better drives. The grip is a big one so let me just put a swing on that. I'll go through the full routine. We'll go bend from the hip, small step, big step, bump the hip and even if you just take a natural swing from here you're going to see something different happen. Nicely down the middle of the fairway that is absolutely lasered. Okay so when you see that we take these two steps, so the small step And the big step, okay, this also, this helps with alignment. So what we're looking for, first of all, is this club face alignment. The club's going to be pointed on your target line, and we need the feet line to be parallel to that. What a lot of people do when they try and hit driver, if they're extremely over the top, is they'll drop this right foot back. But what this does is it gets the shoulders open, and we almost know that the body's facing that way, so we start swinging this way to get the ball on the target. We don't want that. If anything, We want to see the feet a little bit open. What this is also going to do is going to help you clear the hips on the way through, okay? So the feet line is, if we start again, we've got ball, the target line at the target, small step, big step, this is parallel or even slightly open. I like to get mine slightly open. What we're really looking for then is that the shoulder line is not open because if the shoulders are left, the path is going left. If the shoulders are super closed, the path is going right. We need the shoulders square to this line. So we've got this line aiming at our target. Our shoulders need to be parallel, square to that. So we start again, we got feet, small step, big step, shoulders are closed. Now a lot of you are going to be used to being open, okay? So what you need to do is almost feel like when you're in this setup position, you're almost feeling like you're shifting this way. You should be able to see this arm from this camera angle, but if you get open shoulders, you can't see the arm. And also it kind of feels like you're hiding behind the shoulder, like you're almost peeking around a corner around your shoulder. Also this shoulder feels quite high up, this one's quite low. This is super important, okay? That's us in alignment. When we talk about alignment, This is just essential for path, okay? We want that straight path and we've already got the grip so we know we're going to have the club face square to that. Okay, so this drill is incredible for how you want to feel the swing. Now what I see a lot of time with people hitting golf balls, whether it's driver or irons or everything, they're trying to drag the club in with the arms. They're trying to pull the arms in and they leave the club head way behind. This is always going to be open so you're going to have to stop the body and do this. We see that a lot with people or you're going to continue to swipe around. Swing way left and get your cuts your slices or your duck hooks left. Okay, this drill is incredible for that So if you start if you keep your feet together and you set up and you just swing this club back and through Okay, you're trying to make sure that the club head comes through here and sweeps the grass almost before your hands get there Okay, this is major and this also allows you to get all the speed into the club head. We need this to move fast We don't need our hands moving fast. We need this bad boy to move fast Okay, and to do that we've got to feel like we're releasing it Okay. Most slicers don't release it. The release is downward at the ball, sweeping just the top of the surface there and then letting the club whip round. Great thing about the feet together as well is that it helps you keep balance. So you go feet together, up, down, up, down, up, down. Great, great feel. Then you can go into the drill, the setup drill, small step, big step, and try and generate the same feel. And you'll see then your body will start to move. The faster you're able to get that club to whoosh at the bottom of the arc, Where your body's going to move. So it's a really good swing feel. And that's all I want to put into the driver right now. So to recap everything, I'm going to start with the grip. We've got opposite forces. We've got it in the fingers. Setup drill. Bend from the hip. Perfect. Small step, big step. Make sure they're in line. Bump the hip. Hide behind the shoulder. And that's your setup. Done. You just got to rehearse that over and over again. Then when it comes to the swing, you're just trying to make sure that you get the sweeping action at the bottom of the arc. And you should start to do this very soon. Oh, yeah, it could be close to the green. Okay, so... That's everything I want to go through with Driver for now, okay? These are just fundamentals, and I see so many players overlooking fundamentals. These are the most important things you've got to focus on. Please let me know in the comments how this goes for you.
