This is Why I NEVER Start with the Club Behind the Golf Ball

this is exactly why I never address the go ball right out the Middle with driver now you saw it in the thumbnail and you probably thought Alex you crazy you've lost your mind but I haven't and this is the answer to why you're not as straight as you should be and why you don't get the distance that you should so in this video we're going to cover three big questions how high do I team my gold ball with driver exactly why I never ever hover the golf club and finally the big reason why I don't address it out the middle let's get into today's video first thing let's cover tea height now I'll give you the example in a castle tea if you do use a castle te but I don't I like to use a wooden TEEG so what I do is I pick a mark on my tea let's say the V of vice and then I tea my gold ball up until my finger hits the ground that way I'm teeing it up at the exact same teeh high every single time like you might think it's something quite small but it has a huge effect on your strike so check your tea height and make sure you're teeing it at the same height every single time so whether you use a wooden TEEG or a plastic I would say for most people that use a castle te we're looking sort of a white or a pink I wouldn't like to see many people go up to Orange we want to keep that control we want to keep it feeling like we're not stud here trying to whack it up in the air so I use the V on my vice to get my te height and if you look down at the ball here that roughly sits just and I say just just a little bit of the ball above the top of the face possibly a little bit lower than what you're used to now if you didn't know that this channel is powered by you the viewers my sole aim of this channel is to help you yes you play your best golf so we're answering this question here today about driver accuracy and distance and if you think Alex how do I get involved dead easy Subs subscribe hit the bell and just pop it down below in the comments area no matter how big or how small it is okay next up we're going to talk about why I never ever hover the golf club because think about it logically right if we hover that club in the air potentially we could hover it above the height of the ball now when you hear this and I told many students this you go of course of course that makes sense and I'm going to hit one and show you the distance here too is if I hover at this height the ball is below the center of my golf club isn't it it's way below the center now if it's below the center I've got to sort of consciously hit down to it so I address quite a way back and always and I stress this again always place my club on the ground that way I've got that sensation of being lower and then up now as I look at this on player Camp I imagine my lowest point of the Swing is exactly where I'm addressing the ball so I'm addressing it back and I'd say that's roughly about four five maybe 6 in back that gives me a great focus of where I'm starting my swing and where I'm trying to hit up to so start the club lower to hit up not higher cuz then you've got to hit down make sense okay let's sit this one away look how far this goes not even going to hit it that was peached let's have a look down here exactly how far that one went and then we're going to get into why I never ever address it out of the middle 274 happy days now if you're wondering what's on me like that one there I'm getting attacked by ladybirds but anyway let's carry on now the final point the one you saw in the thumbnail the one you've been thinking Alex you've gone crazy so we've already established that I I I tea up where a little bit of that ball is above the face and I don't hover the club I address it sort of five six inches back but also I do this and this is so key so you can see down here at player cam I've really addressed it out the toe of the club now the reason for this is It's really logical almost like a bit of centrafugal force as we swing in this club back on the down swing it wants to work out away from us that's why a lot of us we addressed it out the middle thinking this is perfect but then we hit it out the heel we hit it out this part here and this is really weak this is why you have left to right curve or a big contributor to it and this is why the ball doesn't go anywhere near as far as you want and in fact the fastest part of the club is sort of toe side of middle so if we can start to access that your distance is going to go up so that was 274 I'm now going to address this one out the toe and really show you the increase in distance so think about this logically as I make a swing essentially FAL Force pushes this club away from me and that and if I align out the toe it pushes the middle out towards the goldf ball there's also that other instinctive thing isn't there that the ball is that side of me so if it's that side of me there's always no matter what level of player you are going to be that instinct to hit out towards the ball again throwing the center away so if you offset that by addressing a little bit back to help us hit up and then stressing out the toe that's exactly how you're going to find the middle the centrifugal force of the Swing but also that instinctively how I'm addressing this ball and you know what I always say this compare this to what you're doing copy it try it for a round or so I guarantee you'll be back on these comments going Alex that works okay here we go so 274 was the last one so hopefully this one will go just that little bit further definitely definitely definitely definitely I reckon 285 plus big increase coming here 287 and that was so far out the middle it was absolutely Bullseye thanks so much for watching don't forget to subscribe to the channel use those three pieces of advice and your drives will go so much further Without Really changing a lot
