Throw Through to Drive it Farther! | Golf with Aimee

[@GolfWithAimee]

Hi guys! Yes I know I say "top spin" in this video lol! It is lost in translation. In Korean we use the term "top spin" in golf to indicate "less back spin" on the ball. It didn't even occur to me until you guys brought it my attention! And YES the ball will not get airborne if I actually put top spin on it lol but most of you smart golfers already knew what I really meant by "top spin." I do explain briefly about this in Q&A lesson kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaHLYpiVo8aqmsk Thank you guys for your support! You guys are the best xoxo!

[@jcartwright9036]

Yes, topspin is good in tennis, maybe not so good on your drives

[@joemanis1934]

Aimee, you just keep on keeping it simple. Being 79 years old and out of the game for almost 5 years, I had totally lost my swing. I used to swing the club really well, but my back just hurt most of the time (ALA Fred Couples) Chunks, tops, and a lot of obnoxious names for the golf ball....I discovered your videos. Like someone flipped a switch in my thick head. All the good memories of watching my tee shots flying straight down the fairway (though not as far) are becoming a reality again. Thank you for returning me to the game I used to love.

[@chebrneck]

She's able to explain and describe more than any instruction I've ever had.

[@seans5325]

Aimee, you are the only golf instructor that actually details it in a sensible manor of understanding. The rest i have seen are just tries to show you how to do it and the in betweens that leaves you with mysteries(sorta like trying to figure out the riddle talking). I have learned more with your videos than my lessons with all the other pros. you just make more sense, wish i had you as my beginning golf instructor. instead of learning all the bad habits as i went through to get here. it's been 20 years and i still suck, i am now a 16 handicapper and lost a whole bunch of betting money. but now you have opened my eyes and ears, i hope to get all my money back. Thank you sooo much for your absolute best instructions.

[@Shakester71]

Love her lessons. Even as a mid single digit player, I find myself watching her lessons as a refresher course. She doesn’t get to technical and makes it simple.

[@jdyu2001]

I really like and appreciate Aimee’s golf’s lesson. Her explanation, showing, kind attention, body language.. are just great. Thanks so much! Aimee.

[@elisenguyen8578]

Aimee, you are a blessing for us, the amateurs golfers seeking help here on youtube. Your instructions are so amazingly crystal-clear. The erratic behaviors you explain are so on-point exactly to how most of us would do . In my case, I was hitting so long and well w/ my driver in my first year of golfing, until I started to work on my iron games ( did the weight- shift to left leg for iron swings) . Ever since I ought to apply the sameweight-shift to my driver swing ( as most people told me all swings are the same) . Ever since then ... my driver swing blew up from 1 self-fix to another , and driver distance got shortened . I had no idea why ... until see your video today. Thank you so so much. Keep up the fantastic work Aimee. We love you !

[@jahlert]

after incorporating this lesson to my drive swing thoughts, I hit 15 of 18 fairways. first time ever. I’ll watch this before I play going forward. Great job Aimee!

[@dgrim1000]

She gives very simple and succinct lessons. I'm hooked.

[@kensaville5233]

I have been playing for 65 years and no one has have differentiated so clearly the difference between a driver swing and an iron swing. Cant wait to try it including the swoosh thought. Thankyou.

[@pelm3293]

Best drive lesson so far I've seen on KZbin. This video is gold.

[@dizzyg3890]

Hi Aimee Your instruction is the best I have had over hundreds of lessons trying to not Slice the ball😊😊 You are the only person who has concisely encapsulated what is happening in the Driver Swing now in my late sixties I am hitting the driver over 240 meters and now enjoying hitting the Driver Thanks Dave😍

[@GolfWithAimee]

Hi Dave! Wow that sounds amazing 🤩 I’m so glad you were able to find your swing. Thanks for sharing👍❤️

[@weightvest]

Aimee is the best instructor. My local pro just shows me and then does nothing else to help. Thanks Aimee!

[@davidbailes2967]

Came across this by accident, it is probably the best explained golf lesson ever. I actually understood it word for word and will watch this again and again for sure. Thank you Aimee.

[@amfohr]

Nice, you have way more insight in what amateurs do than most instructors. Most instructors don't care what amateurs are doing, they think that by just presenting the right way is enough. That is not always the case. Sometimes you first need an understanding of what amateurs are doing before you can effectively change that.

[@Johndct1]

I’ve watched literally hundreds of videos by most of the top instructors on the internet over the past three or four years. This is the first time I’ve really seen and understood the difference in swing for driver and irons. I knew about hitting up but the difference in weight transfer was never really clear. Got a pretty good swing and distance with my irons but often struggle with my driver. I can’t wait to go out and try this because I think it will make a world of difference. Thank you Aimee. 😎☀️💐🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@sharathmartin4125]

Thanks Aimee. This video may be almost 3 years old but it is one of the better explanations I've found. Relaxing the joints and not transferring weight early. Made a lot of sense.

[@dwightwalker1191]

I've watched many videos but aimee's easy to understand tutorials are hands down the best.

[@geraldtan8537]

Every time I watch one of your videos, even an old one, I am impressed on how good a teacher you are. As the hips turn towards the left at the start of the downswing, moving the hands down, a point is reached about when the hips are square to the target line, when the rotation of the hips slows down while downward movement of the hands accelerate as the club head swooshes through the impact area. This pulls the hips leftwards to complete the weight shift and lifts the hands above the left shoulder as the body faces the target. Thank you for your video lessons. I'm sure that many, many people, like me, appreciate your generosity very much.

[@kho604]

This is THE best video on KZbin on driver swing. Thank you Aimee! You're a great teacher.

[@steveturner6192]

So many guys could learn so much more from watching ladies play - I always hit it better after watching these as I focus more on tempo instead of force - great great instruction - thankyou

[@m-4478]

Beginner golfer that watched hours of video on KZbin. Your videos for beginners are not spent saying unnecessary things to make sure the video is long enough to matter. You breakdown the sequence nicely, easy to understand, and I like the explanation one must feel as they swing the driver. I feel much better now about the driver and can’t wait for the range. I’ll be studying all your videos and checking out your website. Way to go, you have my vote for best golf instructor.

[@tomcarmichael3734]

I was a 12 handicap 2 months ago. I've been playing golf for 30 years. I found Aimee and am now a 6 handicap. Game is a lot more fun. Short game is the big difference. That video was a game changer for me. Thanks Aimee

[@parcinco1]

Your instructions are very easy to follow....Great teacher..I drive it farther now because of you

[@etcadambrown]

Aimee does a lovely job of giving you a clear, simple, measurable swing thought to take to the range. I never feel overwhelmed with things to remember after watching a video.

[@kaptainkermo]

Explained so nicely and clearly! Makes it so easy to understand! I watch this video every time on the train before I get to the driving range! :)

[@mackmemea9623]

Can’t believe this video was 5 years ago and only now I’m learning to keep my body from moving forward and the club swoosh bf transferring weight forward. I’ve been doing that mistake you’re showing along with loose grip instead of loose wrists and arms. Thanks Aimee

[@levibillet2231]

Thank you for making videos Aimee. Showing the swoosh with the driver helped it make sense for me. I'm going to try this asap ⛳

[@toddhayes9511]

Best pro KZbin teacher I've found! Thank you!

[@tmak4699]

gold ...

[@richards733]

Aimee you are terrific. You make learning clear & very understandable!!

[@riflelover510]

I have been struggling because I stopped coming over the top and started swinging out and have gotten better at my drives but still have issues... this lady has such a simple way of saying things that I needed to hear, way better than other people doing videos. Love this lesson, can't wait to practice the swoosh tomorrow.

[@waqartajuddin5893]

I had seen videos of professionals who hit long drives. It was pointed out their head is always behind the ball. Then I have also heard that the swing should be the same for the irons and the driver. Amy has cleared up what needs to be done. For the driver the head should be behind. It is basically the same swing as the irons but the timing of the weight shift is a little different. Its amazing that I have not seen a video with such clarity ever before. Amy is really good!

[@jefffinet6915]

Great explanation. You have fixed a 20yr problem in 30min. I’ve been telling my friends about your videos. Ty,Ty,Ty

[@ittonydong]

This is more clear what is different between driver and iron, which help me do both iron and driver work at same around, great job Aimee!

[@tubularsensation]

First time this has ever been explained in this manner, and it does make total sense! Aimee is the best golf instructor on the planet...PERIOD. I wished you offered online lessons so that you could have a look and give feedback! Thank you, for all this wonderful golf instruction content, simply aweome!!

[@JJPineda1114]

Aimee, you talked about many important issues on this one lesson that addressed my problems, e.g. relaxing the hands vs. relaxing the arms, different weight shift in irons vs. driver. I struggled with different parts of the game for a long time, but you have really nailed it. Thankyou!

[@veldandarao4616]

Aimee: Wanted to compliment you on one of your videos in Golf Pass dealing withing hitting hybrids better. In it, you talked about using a "1-2-3" soft count when taking your backswing and follow-thru. I tried it and it was worked like a charm. I hit so much purer and harder. In fact, I was overhitting every green and had to club down to compensate for the greater distance. Thank you so much!!!

[@williammills8953]

Just hearing her talk about core power and up blows and down blows. Has me feeling great already. Thank you Aimee.

[@spakkaman1]

Simple and clear. Really enjoy her style of communication.

[@patrickharrison4763]

Amazing tips. So many videos out there are fluff and garbage. This is legit and a perfect explanation of the difference between a driver and iron and how to adjust for each. Thank you! Subscribed.

[@mecnez]

Another great vid. Fresh and new perspective on driver swing. Thanks for the vid!

[@rimasjb]

an oldie but goodie! (From 2016!) It showed up in my youTube feed so I know it's good. I will definitely do that drill with the driver -- I mainly practice with irons when I go to the range and I can see that I do need separate practice with the driver

[@joeseibert5165]

Aimee you are an excellent teacher. You explain the reason why and explain how to accomplish the technique. Thank you sharing this with us.

[@bollywood21]

Your videos are the best. This video helped me a lot as I have as I like the downward blow and have a habit of shifting the hips. Result high and out to the right with the driver.TY

[@ZDUTCH1]

I've watched this video a few times and I think I finally listened..or heard you..or got another nugget out of it. Thanks Aimee! Again!

[@bjnewton55]

Finally a tip that has helped me, the sit down I have done on accident but now I understand.

[@geoffstockwell7002]

Hi Aimee excellent video! When I first started having golf lessons 30 years ago I was taught on the driver downswing “stay behind the ball and swing the club”. Somehow I’d forgotten that advices and was getting ahead of the ball. Your video reminded me and what difference ! I’ve added 30 yards to my driver (ok it’s still only carrying 200 yards but hey I’m in my 60’s now ! )👴🏼

[@daveg1250]

That really makes sense, especially right at the start, showing the difference between down and up impact and weight distribution. I play off of 12 and am prone to turning my body too much with the driver, she explained it really well

[@shs8385]

These videos are great ! seriously ! I have improved from a 160-180 yard slice/fade driver to a straight, draw biased (200-210) driver shot after watching all of Aimee's drivers lessons. I must have went through about 100 other different driver tips on you tube (in the span of about 3 years trying t figure it out) and none has made me 'click' but this series did. thank you !funny that this is the first time I was told to don't shift the weight, I ran to the range, and try to hit it off my right foot, and suddenly I got it ! I am sure its not 100% correct , but it fixed my problem and it went much further.

[@thomasgarrity2226]

In the 60-s- My dad towed me around working with CBS at tournaments including the Masters. Aimee, has the gift of being the best instructor that I've ever seen in my lifetime.

[@bergy2201]

Golfed today. Before I hit the driver, I pictured your beautiful smooth swing. It worked 95% of the time. The 5% was my fault. Thank you so much.👍

[@BTH234]

the best explaination for the golf, I love the way you elaborate make it easier for us to understand. Thank you Aimee.

[@larryallen506]

Some of the best golf videos on KZbin.

[@hectorquinones7804]

The best information o driving swing...I receive....I bee play for more than 45 years....THANKS

[@mikewhite255]

This is good, i was just at a golf shop and was testing the f9 driver . I am new as can be to golf and really cant hit driver at all but the guy there was so painfully annoying about trying to help , he goes im a pga professional watch me lol so i watch him take a swing and not sure how that was supposed to help, i did not pay for or ask for a lesson but if you are going to help try giving instruction instead of ripping the driver 290 yards and going see! Thays all you gotta do lol , thats called being a jerk not teaching and i have to admit it was actually kind of discouraging, I appreciate all of the youtube instructors for taking the time to explain it in detail like this video so thank you and in case anyone was wondering i did nit buy the f9 lol i will stick with my used ping g15 until i get better , besides that i like my driver quite alot even compared to the new stuff.the best part about my driver is it cost me 29 dollars out the door with a new grip !. And it goes as straight and as far for me as any other driver ive hit , when i actually hit it hahahha golf is so much fun.

[@Darryl6134]

Great advice. Throw through the driver. I particularly like the terminology down blow and up blow.

[@ronaldcasselman2660]

When I am hitting well this is what I do. But I always thought it was wrong so I kept focusing on hip turn and weight transfer. What an amazing video. My next driver swing thought will be to let the club pass me. Amazing

[@antoniomafodda8028]

thats the best explained golf video that i have ever seen thanks Aimee

[@michaelb9619]

I just discovered Aimee, and she is a great teacher. I love the simple way she explains how the swing feels.

[@dukenguyen4701]

very good explanation on hitting the driver and good demo. Enjoy your instruction. THank you

[@DocDLH]

After watching literally hundreds of hours of golf video instruction, Aimee is clearly one of the best for not only teaching the swing but giving both insight and drills into how to teach yourself to swing correctly and efficiently.

[@jaydee5447]

Solid instruction regarding the fundamentals of the golf swing

[@johnbrowniv]

First video with Aimee. I practiced this on the range after watching. Very helpful and I believe it helps with tempo as well. Thank you for posting.

[@GirlArmy21]

Super useful. I am a new golfer. I can drive it really straight and am interested in adding distance to my shot. Great videos.

[@enricowashington5997]

Awesome instruction. I suffer from many of the faults you covered. Very easy to understand and I clearly know what I need to change now. So glad you popped up in my feed. It was like finding a diamond in the ruff. Thank you!

[@GolfWithAimee]

Hi Enrico, Thank you so much! I am glad to hear that my lessons are helpful!!😊

[@TeezerDriz]

Superb. You've explained why some of my drives slice, now I know what to do. I try to swing 80% power to hit straight, but now i realise i was getting in front of the club sometimes and slicing.

[@Criscross292]

Probably the best advice I’ve seen on hitting the Driver. Thanks!

[@richtfingers]

Excellent lesson! Key to hitting the driver long and straight.

[@deldridg]

Well presented instruction and I'm looking forward to swooshing at the range tomorrow! One minor comment if I may - the only way to put topspin on a golf ball is to actually top it. Every well executed shot will impart backspin, including the driver. Of course this takes nothing away from your excellent video. Cheers and thank you from Sydney, Aust - Dave

[@jamesmaher488]

Best driver tuition I’ve ever seen 👍👏👏👏

[@aliikane]

Excellent lesson. Really helps in releasing the club rather than holding it off.

[@moehein6379]

After keep seeing Aimee’s lessons, my golf swing has improved. Thanks Aimee.

[@xx-vq7pw]

Fantastic tip Aimee. Never realized the weight distribution. No wonder I got teed off. I go to the range and blast range balls out. Then on the course I hose up approach shots because I don't use shift the weight properly.

[@bigdumbanimal23]

Aimee, thank you! My buddy Paul delivers all of his energy at the ball and hits his irons as long as Pros. I just tried your tip and threw my iron club heads at the ball! Never had such power before! I know your tip was about the driver but just throwing the club just clicked with me. I have a big park by my house and I was hitting my 7 iron about 180!, a 20 yard increase!

[@leemccoshen2958]

This is one of the very best instructional videos on KZbin!! Thank you for posting this Aimee!

[@susankontich9236]

Thanks Aimee, I have been watching lots of your videos and they are very informative. I have been playing for years but had to take some time off due to shoulder surgery. Now my driver does not work. You have given me several things to look at to determine what I am doing wrong. Thank you very much.

[@paulakoncki4029]

I took your advise and would like to thank you! I'm hitting my ball a mile and dead straight even brought my handy cap down with two shots!! 😻

[@fabioapolito5953]

This is gold. Took me a while to figure all this out. I wish I had seen this sooner.

[@xfacex2g]

this video is extremely well explained. When I got it into my mind to throw your hands and hit the ball on the up swing and swoosh my drive average increased by 20 yards. This video is a swoosh! Thanks!

[@peteraspinall838]

Very useful advice clearly and simply explained. Going to practice it now. Thanks

[@metamurph]

love that, hadn't seen the drive/iron swing explained quite like that before. I know I get a little of this going on, you worry about the "reverse pivot" or think weight can't stay back. I also will get my back shoulder heading through a little quick at times - thus some days I carry 250 :-) and other days I carry 200 :-(

[@brentborne7207]

Love this thought with the driver. Can’t wait to try it

[@normancuillerier]

Aimee your right you can't have lose grip when i do I hock it bad, I hit a good shot if I feel that i hit ball and then make my turn. I have lost many yards because i am 75 now but seem to get the yardage that I need then i let my 5/7 fairway woods for the next shot for position. You're a great teacher.

[@stevennelson3025]

Thanks Aimee, I;m driving the ball shorter and shorter each year, I am excited to take these tips to the range tomorrow and see if it helps... I like the thought of throwing the driver, I just may do it with the worn grips I'm playing with.... thanks again

[@alancarlyon3928]

Great tip Aimee! What I like about your blogs - You get right to the point, not like some instructors who am sure just like to hear themselves talk! Action speaks louder than talking!

[@aceb47]

Thanks for the input. Been having the habit of shifting my weight too soon for years... even if I position ball pass the front foot. Had the best driving round in a while listening to your tutorial. Thanks a bunch

[@ricardopassarelli6015]

It's so enlightening to see my number one driver flaw (the quick forward lunge) revealed like this. Hopefully with this realization and your teaching I can fix it.

[@valderja]

Great tips Aimee. I've struggled with my driving for a while.

[@kevindhouck]

Thank you sooo much. I was leaning too far forward with my driver instead of keeping my weight back!

[@tomkh626]

Cannot agree more; a great lesson...! Actually i try to do the same for all my 14 clubs, including the putter. Many thanks Aimee!

[@moi-.-bicxo]

Thomas Cho gonna try this with my irons coz they always slices bad. My putt is good though.

[@heiaualoha6526]

Aimee makes golf so logical. Just luv her lessons!

[@davidd1395]

I think this lesson nailed my problem of why I hit driver so low. Weight is shifting like an iron shot, too early for driver. Thanks Aimee, something to work on.

[@TheGenieLover]

What a beautiful golf swing you have. This lesson will be quite useful. I have been struggling to hold the proper mindset on the teebox.😎

[@tootalazaaz]

Aimee this was unbelievable advise. I'll try to produce such a swing when get out to the course.

[@charlieb2866]

Makes total sense...... I will definitely practice what you said. Thank you!!!

[@BigDaddyJGG]

What a difference just loosening up your shoulder and elbow joints, feel the weight of the clubhead. wow!

[@gatesmw50]

The Slow Mo she does of the swing is a big help.You can see what is supposed to happen and WHEN it should happen.

[@golfergal]

i see so many of my swing faults in the "no good" part of your lesson..you are amazing!

[@frankkovalak1967]

Love your lesson especially the distinction in the amount of stepping using an iron vs the driver.

[@alexrodriguez8767]

It makes sense the way you explain it. Thank you!!

[@IdolBienjoven]

Thank you for free teaching golf lesson ..Pinoy Caddie here✋⛳🏌️‍♂️🇵🇭
