The Truth About Longer Drives with NO SECRETS - Simple Golf Swing Lesson

here's my top three reasons you do not hit the ball as far as you should with your driver and why you hit your driver so short if you're looking play better golf hit the ball further and straighter for lots of people we need to get you maximizing what you putting down there so you don't feel like you have to do too much up here let's show you what I mean so maximizing what you get out of what you put in is really what we're talking about here for lots of people when I say I want to get you hitting the ball further they think pure of swinging only out of their boots and then that leads in their heads of being out of control being less accurate with your driver what I'm talking about here is going to make you more consistent with your driver more accurate with your driver and max out what you put in if you are near to maxing out what you're putting in you are wasting so much energy out on the golf course remember if you like the messages in these videos hit that like button down

maximize out what they put in um let's see if I can explain that to this shot we've got shot number one which we'll talk about and here's shot number two doing a very common fault we'll see if I've pulled it off so I've missed Target which is expected but let's just look at the numbers on that one so 162 ball speed to6 on the second shot now the first point we're going to talk about here is loft 14° loft and this is X Loft and when I look at my quad here it's actually telling me it's up near 20° of Loft so I've gone from around 15° of Loft on the first one delivered to 20° of Loft on the second one by adding Loft as I hit the ball that's simply going to increase deflection so like a wed shot which will reduce ball speed and often if not controlled can increase curvature so that last shop Carri 233 with 108 mph uh Club head speed 108 mph Club head speed with some more realistic Loft should be delivering more so that's 105 Club head speed so slower and that's carried 256 yards think about that I've actually swung slower but because my delivery was more efficient just simply on the Loft number there as one of the points that b gone further I maxed out what I put in lots of golfers will simply go faster and faster cuz they want to hit it further but if you're not controlling The Loft you could actually find bigger gains by doing it at the speed you're doing it at maxing it out so how do you control off this is such a common problem with drivers so the first thing people go to is the driver and the neck and the Loft on the head they think that's going to make the difference unfortunately in this is where one of the biggest golf kind of you fill in the blank word there starts with a C uh in custom fitting can really work on the custom Fitters benefit so let's say I've got a 10 degree loft driver and they give me a 7 degree loft driver and that reduces my Loft and it goes further what happens is that player goes oh I had the wrong Loft great I'm now hitting it further but for my experience of then teaching those people over time who've gone for fittings they come for fittings and they just default back to The Loft they originally wanted to deliver because that's where they want to be they don't change the fundamental issue of presenting Loft they change this and then in time at 3° they just override it I changed the loft there by over 5° which hardly any Loft changes if anyone's going for a custom fit and their Lofts been changed 5° I would be shocked so why do golfers have this kind of tendency to want to increase so much loft with their driver bearing in mind I've got an 8.5 degree driver here 95 and it slightly lower on the neck um I'm presenting 15 so you do add Loft just amors are adding a lot of Loft and it's to do with controlling this angle the face run away the more more that face turns up to the sky the more at the top of the back swing the face points down to the ground the more chances they come down into the ball they won't have control of that face pointing up to the sky and then to hit the ball they've got to really flip it forwards to get the face somehow pointing where they want the ball to start and there's the load of loft where with the stronger players in the world they're generally turning that face more down to the ground which allows them to present better Loft angles with another angle which we're going to come to in point two so get controler off number one point for getting control Loft you've got to check your grip is your grip turned over enough are you too weak which in turn will present Loft number Point number one let's check your grip Point number two are you sneaking the ball position miles forward to try and encourage you to actually get the face squaring up in time because you're not controlling The Loft let's make sure the ball position with your driver is somewhere between middle of your lead foot to say two in inside your lead foot and try somewh you push it back to inside your lead foot and see what happens to your Loft presentation because if it comes out lower and you maximize mball that's a good thing and number three have your awareness of the club face so as it moves around your body can you feel that face turning to the ground simple little drill if you got your grip and your setup in place this is funny people don't like this drill because it's like hard to do but you want to give it a practice just simply take the club to round first parallel turn that club as much down to the ground as you can you don't want to be too crazy but a good amount and then just try and Chip a few balls out in front of you and you want that kind of low hooky flight coming out that's you presenting not an enough Loft for the speed you swing at on that small swing and the ball will kind of dip out of the air it's going left because D lofting often makes that face point a little bit left of the path great drill for practicing next time you're at the range just pitch if you out with your driver trying to get that ball to kind of dip low out the air to get used to actually presenting a different Loft and start maximizing rather than just leaking power left right and Center Point number two the second swing where I swung and it didn't go very far and I presented loads of Loft also hit down at the ball yeah that's crazy this one blows people's heads off so basically the one where I didn't max out my distance I hit down while presenting Loft which is double deflections more Loft more deflection glancing blow on the way down so not on the angle I want to launch that ball again is a deflection think of deflections like if I was going to drive my car at a wall so you're the wall if I'm going at 30 m hour and I drive straight at you it's not going to be very nice but if I drive at 30 m hour at you and I come at you from an extreme angle it's not going to be nice but there's more chance I'm going to brush off that wall I'm kind of going to Glide off it there's deflection we need you driving straight at this ball now bearing in mind this ball wants to launch we want you go going up on that Vector a bit more to max out while delivering better Loft most amateur so common hitting down presenting Loft it's just a huge power leak so four down on the weaker one where I swung quite hard and it didn't go anywhere the one where I hit it quite average like I I was slower with my club head to speed but I went up at the ball with loft or less Loft um really went out there like but it carried what 10 15 yards further and I swung it slower so how can we get you feeling like you're trying to hit up at the ball Point number one for that or you can try forget lag so many golfers talk about lag and hold it on to this angle holding on hold it on hold it on hold it on guess what this does keeps the club up in the air hands go low there's going to be a crash it's going to be the club as it moves down it's going to have to violently get down to the ball we want that gone you need to be trying to get that club down to the ground earlier so you can actually come up at that ball and stripe it away and I know this one blows people's heads off this angle is so confusing for so many golfers but you need to feel at the top of your back swing like you're actually starting to take this angle out don't hold on to it forever so what the world's best players do is they add a tiny bit as they pull down and then they're very quick to start taking it out so from about here they start taking this angle out to get ready to deliver that club and for most amors when I ask them to take angles away they think well that's going to be worse I'm going to be weaker two things happen one they tend to drop the club more on this path rather than going this way because people who hold on to the angle and turn tend to come out this way with the club stuffed up in the air so a their path gets better as they throw those angles away which can help for more maxing out of distance and two they get the club down to the ground a little earlier which allows them then hit Level or to up at that ball and there is the distance hitting loads of speed adding Loft hitting down is going to be so weak compared let you trying to hit up while presenting a more reasonable Loft to max out your distance Point number three and this one is gamechanging for so many golfers you have to change your intent the amount of golfers that say to me they need to slow down they need to slow it down and then they'll play better you don't you need to change your intent if you want to max out what you're putting in trying to put a bit more in with those better angles now now we've got better Loft we're hitting up at the ball not down now we need some intent with this driver the amount of golfers I see who make these kind of pretty actions with the driver and the ball just falls out in the air because they haven't got the speed to keep it going up it's ridiculous how many we need some good intent some commitment to speed some commitment to trying to send that ball a bit further with your maxed out angles and then in turn you trying to push your body that bit further now the best way to change your intent is get in a safe space a range a net a Sim wherever your safe space is where shots can be devalued we want them devalued down to zero meaning if you top it you slice it you hook it it doesn't matter the object in your safe area is actually to start overtraining Speed so I want you to start doing a few swings where you turn your body as far as you feel you can turn it I want you to feel like you're pulling on that club as fast as you can and hitting shots not how you will play but with full intent and I want you to see what the difference is between your top intent shots compared to the shots that you play on the course so if you have access to any launch monitor top Tracer whatever you can measure the difference if you're at a range you're going to be able to hopefully see the difference between your gaming shops so when where you're trying to get the angles right and you're just trying hit a kind of intended target compared to the ones where you max out you turn as far as you can you swing literally out of your boots as hard as you can now what I tend to find with amate this is a generalization you're all different but so I've over speed train for a long time so the difference between my top end to my gaming end is around 2 miles an hour they're really close because I'm now gaming much Nearer My top end because what happens is the more you practice at your top end end the more you start realizing you're not less accurate and the more you start realizing you've got so much more to give now when I do this with everyday am what we find is seven 8 mph difference huge difference between their top swings down to their gaming swings where they're obviously a bit petrified and swinging in a way where it's so deliberate that they can't put any speed in which often leads to poor strikes less control weaker shots so we want to get that discrepancy between top end down your gate gameing end a little closer I like to see it around 5 to 2 mph so upping that speed at your top end practicing hitting shots out your boots in your safe zones and watching the results what tends to happen with golfers is is they start to see is that they' got so much more to give and their relationship to speed doesn't relate to accuracy like they think and I know some of you are watching this G and I don't believe that that's ridiculous I go faster I go more Wayward please just try it I haven't had a student yet who goes top end down to gameing end and has become way more less accurate they're like they they literally come to me and they message me after people I've done and they like I still can't believe me trying to swing with this intent of hitting harder is allowing me to hit the ball as straight as I've always hit it for some people they even start hitting it straighter and don't be afraid to push it really turn really go get the grunts going that one's going to turn way left look look how far left that's going but I'm upping my swing speeds I'm upping my ability to put stress on my body which allows me to when I come to hit my gaming shots to put that little bit more stress on my body and be ready for the outcome which for most golfers is longer and straighter hitting the ball longer and straighter is going to lower your scores getting the most out of what you put in is the main point little bit of intent in there as well you're going to transform how you hit the shot now if you want to transform how you hit your iron shots this video is going to do the same with this one but give you that consistent iron shot that you're looking for oh
