how to hit driver longer and straighter

[@kevinsharp9376]

I'm delighted to see Simon back on the channel. I love his teaching methods and explanations.

[@TrevorJones-wz6pn]

This Guy is good! A reset button for us all ..... Thanks Simon!

[@buchill1]

It all looks so simple, until I give it a try ! But try I will, as the explanation at the end of the "swing first, turn last" is something I never saw anywhere else, and the demo on the chair just made sense to me. Great vid.

[@nevillemorton4806]

Love these videos with Simon,he explains it in simple terms,very easy to understand, hopefully it'll help🤞

[@simonthorpe6971]

Have to say Simon is a breath of fresh air. Simple lessons that really seem to help the average golfer

[@ianredford8894]

Absolutely cracking stuff once again from the golf mates.

[@PaulWilliams-ls2nx]

"Swing first and turn second in response". This excellent info on the arm swing consigns a lot of rubbish to the bin. Peter Thomson and John Jacobs would give Simon the nod. Thanks heaps for the simple terms that help us

[@willgriffiths1227]

Thanks mate you are the first teacher who emphasises don't try to turn on the backswing Anything on chipping thanks cheers Will

[@markallan8309]

Wonderful description of the Ernest Jones method of swing the club and the body follows naturally, it has no choice if you're swinging freely. Some people make instruction complicated, Simon does the complete opposite and yet we're left more knowledgeable because of it.

[@royclose946]

Well done liam and Simon 😊

[@mrgerrytube]

Simple. Just do as Simon says 👌

[@JamesPlaysPool]

Great lesson from Simon. He has a great way of explaining things.

[@kevinsorrell1822]

Superb makes it look easy off to the driving range for me 👍

[@geoffjohnston1708]

Great lesson - will be putting that to good use this week. Please keep the lessons and tips coming.

[@razzleg5126]

Love it as always. Cheers Liam and Simon

[@londonhotspur]

Thanks boys always a great watch

[@michaelroebuck457]

I used to have a loved raw 5 or 6 years ago. 59 now and it slowly gone outta my game. Tried everything and ended up doing my back hitting too many balls at range. I,ll try this one tho ,cheers chops😮

[@GolfMates]

Keep watching 👀

[@mickbeardsworth6135]

Absolutely love Simons lessons. Had the experience of joining Simon and Adam last year on a fault and fix and planning to follow up in April. Love the whole set up at Carus Green. More please.

[@Kosmohs]

I desperately needed to see this!

[@TheGolfronnie]

Excellent vid. Thanks to Simon and Liam.

[@bartonkrueger4691]

Wonderful.Best instruction i have ever received.

[@jonnid67]

Great video and will definitely take this lesson to the course and remember swing first then turn...thank you

[@stephenmcgregor5479]

Great tips and points to follow to provide some excellent drives brilliant easy to follow tuition from Simon, thank you Liam this will be one of the best coaching courses available

[@ronharrington8659]

Swing first, and turn 2nd. Is an excellent point Simon. I try to keep my back to the target as long as possible. This stops over the top move, as spinning out. Hope my golf mates are listening to this. It works for me…

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@ronharrington8659]

@@GolfMates No problem guys. On the range I see some golfmates struggling. Another thing I’ve found that has helped me and others is to pull my back foot back on setup. This closes my stance some, promotes an in to out swing, that produces a draw. I find that I’m able to get more extension through the ball. I also want my trail arm underneath my lead arm. Sort of like skipping a rock across a pond. Most golfers that slice the ball are doing the opposite. They swing over the top, across the ball, more out to in… I hit a fade by pulling my lead foot back. Golf is pretty simple for me. Most golfers make it harder than it should be…

[@derekclark9646]

Brilliant as always. Wooooooooooooo 😂

[@anthonycallery7606]

Simply put easy to follow lesson with 👏

[@GolfMates]

It is

[@OPAB.-qo9lv]

Thank You so much for the pointers 👏

[@wayneross8544]

What a great coach lesson was very much needed thanks lads

[@mrkipling3841]

Great lesson!

[@stephenorourke2297]

Simon brilliant video l will be giving it a try the next time I go to the rang

[@jackbowman4788]

Thanks Simon and Liam great advice😊

[@keithellison6800]

Brilliant tips 👍

[@gunneronfire]

Well explained. Good graphics. Most high handicappers know what to do but just can't do it.

[@pbode1]

Love Simon. Still I prefer the setup tip as referring to the lead armpit instead of heel. When I first started to drill myself on hitting upwards, I positioned it at the heel, but since my stance is not very wide, I was still having a far to large in-to-out angle at that point. Only when I realized that, and got the ball to the lead big toe, my overdraws started to straighten out.

[@davidpollard3921]

Awesome Thank you

[@garethmorgan7474]

Thank you both

[@englandshistory]

I've been playing about 18 months now and feel like I'm getting no where.. just about breaking 100 when I play (once a week) i think it's due to having so many hints and tips flying around my brain when I address ball... what are the 3 main things I should be thinking when addressing the ball.... thanks golf mates

[@johnkofoed8478]

Very interesting video just showed me that I'm doing somthing wrong . I will give it a try and fingers crossed it helps my distance.

[@query1527]

I am an expert at watching golf coaching videos. I recon Simon is an awesome coach - he hit lots of the points I've found to work (especially ball position and the position of the club at downswing parallel - these are just so important). Awesome.

[@GolfMates]

Cheers

[@kenirving5240]

Awesome, thanks!

[@alansmith8234]

I’ve said it before What a great bloke Simon is How simple was that?

[@GolfMates]

Very

[@neilanderson7116]

Great lesson

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@KreationPhotography]

Love Si, every time he inhales I come out the window to check which aircraft is flying above my house for then to realise It wasn't an airplane

[@dawnpatrolgolf]

You're going to make me try this with driver and then see what I can do to incorporate the speed part with irons and hybrids. This 5' tall guy 58 year old guy with 93mph max driver clubhead speed has always believed his speed came from more of a shoulder turn.

[@platobach8309]

The return of the ‘Rick Flair’ of the GolfMates universe!

[@jamieknight5492]

Just been out and put this into practice. 100% fairways hit.

[@GolfMates]

Boom

[@philagnew810]

Belting tip that simon !! Your gut is similar to mine so if you can do it, it gives me a chance 😂 mind you you have a lot more hair than me ,so maybee it helps to keep your balance better 😂!

[@kevinbuchan6655]

Absolute beginner. My 3 iron and my 9 iron both go 90 yards. I'm guessing this is because I'm not putting my hips into it? How do I correct this?

[@richs2290]

Great lesson hopefully will be hitting 300+ yard drives from now on 😂😂😂

[@timwestbrook4563]

I wish I lived closer,Simon makes the swing so uncomplicated.

[@windym709]

Simon needs a haircut, did you leave him in the cupboard since the last film 😂😂

[@P90Paul90]

😂😂😂 Rick flair been busy

[@craigrussell5732]

😂

[@simmo5071]

Palm trees at Carus Green, well, well, how climate change is affecting us. Thanks for the tip and especially the chair demo.

[@BillyDenton-nx3oy]

Btw, ditch the ball tracker if you're going to call a dead pull, a high draw, or in example #2, you're going to hit a low baby cut and call it a high draw. 😎✌️⛳️🏌‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@mrveritas700]

👍

[@davidmuncer7392]

not mcuh to think about there then

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely only check points

[@DavidWilson-cj1ol]
