3 WAYS TO HIT MORE ACCURATE DRIVES

[@HiddenCryptic]

so i finally broke 90! I've only been playing for about 4 months and these videos help me out so much. i shot a 85 yesterday and was so thrilled! Thanks guys so much!!

[@ulysiusvance7480]

I appreciate your videos they are easy to understand for someone trying to find their way into this sport. I have been extremely frustrated with my swing until I found your videos and have since corrected the problem. Thank You!

[@kcbice]

I met Andy at the Milwaukee airport on my way home from the U.S. Open. Just stood and talked for a bit. Very nice to have met you in person Andy.

[@alexgrant2000]

can yall do a video series for the more advanced golfer?

[@tbgMaveric]

Having just got back from the driving range this evening. I am amazed at the transformation tee height had on my driving. I increased the tee height massively which combined with positioning the ball more consistently in my stance - I've never hit straighter drives!

[@davidrichard4300]

guys love the vids. can you do a youth video? my little ones (9 &11) are starting and I am not sure really where to start with them.

[@mihirarjun2791]

David Richard you should always start with putting

[@touchdaqueef1561]

I'm 12 and I started with chipping then putting then driving then woods

[@matthewholder1790]

Another amazing video, I frequently drive straight but frequently to the left. Looking forward to altering tee height and/or ball positioning tomorrow. Cheers guys!

[@TheMultyvat]

Thank you very much for all your hard work and effort to bring us these videos week in and week out. you guys help me improve my game every time I watch a video. hopefully I will be good enough to have you guys analyze my swing soon. Keep it up Gents

[@kenboynton8714]

Excellent lesson, well described and demonstrated. Thank You!

[@hughyearwood2749]

Very helpful video. Many thanks Andy and Piers.

[@matkasim]

Superb explanation. Kudos . Thanks guys

[@Ryan-by8ui]

Okay maybe one of you guys can help me out here, big fan of the channel: I was recently hitting my drives with an absolutely monstrous slice. I went to the range to try to correct it but I have an open sore on my pinky finger from over-gripping the club. It was actually painful for me to swing, so I thought I would switch my grip and try to go overlapping instead of interlocking, which I'd being doing for about 6-7 years. It felt pretty natural actually and right off the bat, I was hitting my irons with a nice draw and great ball flight. The draw went away as I got into the long irons though and with my 4 and 5 it actually turned into a fade. I didn't mind it though, since I thought it would be useful to have a bit more control with the longer irons. Then I get to the driver and it's an unplayable slice. I was trying to correct my slice already and yet this just magnified the issue tenfold, sending the ball a good 80 yards off line at least. I hit several buckets with the ball off the tee just going into the net on the side of the range. I decided I would try my hardest to hit a hook so I took a ridiculous club path and everything and the ball _still_ sliced. At that moment I realized it wasn't the club path at all, but the face was obviously wide open at impact. So all I did was go back to an interlocking grip and focus on getting my hands through it and I was hitting it straight again with a nice draw. Even knowing the problem, I simply can't get my hands to turn over when I use the overlapping grip with the driver, but I want to be able to because it feels better and I like it with the irons. Question: Would it be completely ridiculous to have a different grip for my driver than with my irons? Would that be a nightmare for consistency reasons long term?

[@travisriley3844]

Ryan, I had the same problem and actually couldn't golf for a week or two comfortably after the blister formed. Solution: rotate the front/top hand of the golf grip more toward the back foot instead of having it facing more front to back of in your stance. The top of the front hand will be rotated slightly more away from your body. The palm will be facing more toward your body. If that doesn't make sense... rotate your front/top hand of your grip counterclockwise on the club shaft into more of an overhand position. If done correctly, you should be able to see more of the top of your knuckles on your top hand. Sorry for the novel, I hope that helps, it worked tremendously for me.

[@rustonfrenchman5394]

im struggling big time with a fade/sometimes a slice. I have tried everything bar changing my shaft or buying a new club where I can adjust the draw setting. I will be trying the more forward/tee up higher setting which hopefully helps my swing and saves me money. Thank you guys for the vid.

[@timfarrell2244]

Any drills to help avoid "falling back" onto your trail leg while trying to keep that spine angle? I lapse into it more than I'd like.

[@frammer887]

Try and finish forward with your body. Move forward while you hit and go through the ball

[@deanray1871]

Going straight up the range to do this chaps Bloody cheers

[@scottgarrison5827]

Great job, boys! Per usual, another great vid. Best golf channel out there. Cheers!

[@InsideSeven]

"Well I don't care what Trackman has to tell me that actually hit the fairway" lol

[@zimon2084]

won a competition today, all thanks to your videos. keep up the good work:)

[@ATC235]

Thank you. I like to take a practice swing and pause at the bottom. I then look at the club face and make an adjustment if needed. Then swing away. What do you think?

[@charlesmarling8132]

Brilliant guys. Cant remember ever seeing a pro actually demonstrate and the effects of angle of attack etc. Graphics very helpful too. Please can you do something on tee heights for different clubs and irons off the tee. Also fairway woods off the deck and different lies.

[@MrShanghai34]

I'm working on my positions and when I get them all right, the ball goes str8 and longer. My problem is lack of consistency of doing what I am supposed to do and a wandering mind. I'm watching this vlog a few more times.

[@ryanschneider5311]

MrShanghai34 haha me and you both bro. When i hit the perfect straight shot....its a 280 Boomer and 300+ on downhill rolls. But i usually slice it, hook it 80% of the time. I forget steps lol

[@frankcarpentino318]

Hey guy's love watching the videos. I have re-enforced, and/or learned so much from watching the 2 of you explain, and demonstrate each segment. How can I find out more information about your golf academy / school? Thanks again.

[@jim60631]

That's a great and simple way of explaining d plane to someone who may not quite grasp it. However for those watching this remember if you are going to hit up the ball will go more left than you think so aim right to compensate. A straight shot hit on the up to someone watching from behind you will look like a slight pull.

[@jamesrekau3954]

Really enjoy the videos guys, keep up the good work

[@myretarnation]

Love it. Simple and effective.

[@MrJontheStallion]

im going to try this tomorrow and god i hope it works. i put the ball where you showed in the first shot and i do exactly that, push cut. hopefully this helps with my consistency.

[@simonblack9076]

First time I have had it explained that easily just move ball forward or back thanks very much . 👍I'll be trying at range.

[@johnratajczak3878]

I found this video really useful but would like to know the trackman values for the final drive please.

[@tommyseefeld]

when you mention ball position impacting going left/right, could this type of thing be the same with other clubs (irons/hybrids) or is that more true for just the driver?

[@TB1Z_]

i would say, all clubs

[@joeybreedlove647]

Love your videos ! I’m struggling hitting the ball right very late in the carry starts to go right about 250 yards out and I can’t fix it ?? Please help ????

[@markkirk3049]

Nice logic and great on the spot change modes,

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks for watching Mark! Really hope this helped.

[@nigel4321]

To sum up this video, is it tee low(ish) and ball back for a shot to the right. Tee up and move forward for a shot to the left?? Am I correct?

[@paulr8105]

Thanks guys very helpfull

[@WolfgangDegreif]

Thanks guys for another exciting video! As I had a lot of work on my game with a pro during winter time, I am facing with deep ugly divots behind the ball. Not only with the irons, hybrids and fairway woods as well and even some times with the chief. Wrong attack angle?

[@travisriley3844]

Wolfgang, try to focus on keeping your back more straight and upright in your posture. You will still be bent over slightly in the correct stance like you just did a deadlift and are 75% of the way back up to a full standing position. Your head should feel like it is higher above the ball at address. Not bent way behind the ball and down towards the ground. Hope that helps...

[@elliottcooksey6886]

Is this at South Kyme?

[@jayden3980]

how high do you tee up the ball sometimes I go left or right depending the swing what advice can you give me to how to hit straighter what does the trackman do

[@bluekingfisher1416]

Gents, great video as always, however I often find it difficult to establish the optimum ball position with the driver. I usually play with a slight fade, which I like. However when faced with a tee box aligned to the right, I have difficulty with setting up to the ball. I often suffer from either a block right fade or a pull hook. Is finding the ideal ball position just trial and error or have you any tips for establishing ideal positioning, particularly when standing on an "awkward" tee box. Many thanks. David

[@carrownisky]

great lesson thanks :-)

[@MrTorgetor]

thanks again ! nice video !

[@jamesyoung5825]

Great stuff mates

[@chrisholloway5623]

I've been fighting a nasty case of the toe-hooks for about a year now and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Do you guys address this on your site?

[@BanbanGB]

Hey Guys, very interesting video, i just have one question : how could you shallow the club ? i tried 25 differents drills but i still come over the top :'(

[@koaggie12]

Alban Gustin go to the range, set up with like an 8 iron but before you hit the ball put a tee in the ground about 2 inches on the other side of the ball. If you swing correctly pretty straight or even in to out you won't hit the tee but if you swing out to in you will hit the tee. Helped me a ton. I do it with all my clubs

[@Pres_10]

This may or may not help, but really try to keep your right elbow (left elbow if you're left handed) on your right hip while on the downswing. Have someone film you from behind and try to make adjustments accordingly. Hope that helps.

[@diego81990]

Alban Gustin have you tried being a bit more open at impact? Like shoulders and hips. Creates a lot more space and really helps me when Im struggeling...

[@travisriley3844]

Alban, I struggle with this at times as well. I realized it was my arms were not straight enough at address causing me to come over the top of the ball instead of sliding/scooping more under it. It really helped me to focus on keeping both of my forearms straighter in the downswing and much closer to the body instead of out and away from the body. You should have the letter V in between your forearms at address.

[@pez555]

Great video

[@lucasromanowski1325]

Great tips

[@munoz4104]

So what if my shot goes to the right a lot do I just move my left leg closer to the like what he did ?

[@connoranderson6445]

Hey guys quick question. I have moved the ball up to my left big toe and I'm still constantly hitting an aggressive fade, where most of the time I'm usually OB to the right side of the course. I've tried everything to fix it watched all the videos gone out to the range and it helps but I still can never get it to straighten out. Also, the thing that makes no sense is I hit my irons great is there anything else I can do to help my problem?

[@Tidoublemy]

You're probably bowing your wrist at the top of your backswing. Try folding your left wrist inward at the top of the swing. Also try not to come over the top of your head but rather around your shoulders with the swing.

[@ethanserrano2458]

What if you are hooking the ball, but are still hitting the ball low? What drills would help?

[@jerrycanjesse]

Hey, @meandmygolf, whenever I focus on having my spine angle tilted away from the target, I always feel the clubhead will smack the ground on my takeaway, and sometimes it does. Tilting moves the low point back and my swing literally transfers that into the backswing. Any tips for how to solve this?

[@seamaster4190]

Have you tried hovering the club at address?

[@touristguy87]

Yes it is safe to say that if you open the face dramatically in the backswing it is important to close the face in the downswing and critical to get the timing right. Also if you backswing out to in and downswing in to out and your follow-through is out to in...and it is impossible to get this right consistently. That is why everyone cheats one way or another and why no two shots are the same. It is especially difficult to hit consistently if your swing is flat. A flat swing amplifies timing errors into errors in horizontal position.

[@touristguy87]

1:00 WRONG The swing path is one thing, the clubface angle is completely different. That is why you have "dynamic loft" and "attack angle" as two seperate quantities in Trackman. It is very easy to have a negative swing path and positive clubface angle resulting in negative dynamic loft but positive attack angle. Face pointing up + club going down can result in +ve loft or -ve loft depending on which is greater. Lag usually decreases effective club loft but again that depends on the loft and hand position at impact.

[@thephotographer539]

Just after 2 mins you're saying if you're hitting more down, the path and face are going right and if you're hitting up on the ball, they are both more left. But I come over the top, so while I am hitting down too steeply, I am also swinging across the line to the left . . . ? So is my optimum ball position in the middle of my stance or even further back? Confused . . . .

[@michaeldiruocco]

Would this be the same if I'm a left handed player?

[@bigeblunders]

I'm so bad at golf but I still pay loads to play it.

[@Dtoboguru1]

Ethan hello there. I too am not a good golfer. I couldn't break 100 till I took a few lessons. They are so worth it.

[@AceTekGuardian]

Dtoboguru1 how could you not break 100, I'm 14 and I broke 150 with a 6 iron

[@devinjones4783]

how do you hit a shot from bumpy terrain

[@pjvanengen]

What if you're hitting it low and to the left with a closed face?

[@nicklablanc7731]

Love and Enjoy your videos I appreciate it. Was wondering do you guys ever take Jabs at each other for their crappy golf shots at least on video it seems like you guys do

[@Obertown]

Ta lads! Great tips.

[@LouDaddy12]

Love the tips but hate to say it not a fan of the the co-mate tri-color shirts. Cheers

[@dandano2602]

I hit the ball all over left, right and middle. How do i fix that? Been that way for 20 years.

[@Seve-id8jp]

2.35. looks like you are aligned miles right anyway? Good video though 👍

[@touristguy87]

...which of you two is Tweedledee?

[@touristguy87]

Doesnt take into consideration body rotation, hand and shoulder rotation all of which affect the clubhead path and head angle at impact.. plus the swing direction. The point here is that swinging up should produce a pull or fade and that simply isn't true if the swingpath is out to in. The ball will cut. The only way to correct that is to swing in to out at impact but there are many ways to do that. Anything resulting from a tee height or position change is easily undone by over or under-rotation.

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

Fore right !!

[@domlouis3987]

Great vid how about a video that strong grip and weak variations and how it affects the ball

[@KevinSmith-wx3hp]

The one guy is missing his matching hat and shades? I'm a bit disappointed! Lol

I get nice lofty drives that always go right...
