How to Hit Driver Straight (and LONG) Every Time

[@peterfinchgolf]

Guys remember, don’t hump the goat 🐐🙅🏻‍♂️

[@magnusorfririksson8475]

I had to back up to make sure I heard you right. I did. That being said... it's an apt term for it 🤣

[@gmuzz]

It's that sort of quality visualisation that we are all here for.....

[@philallen8272]

"like a dog humping a beachball" is the quote my coach uses.

[@Leandre_Koen_Golf]

Lets goooo!!! I won my golf clubs Monthly Championship and I'm only 15!!! I Shot a 71...

[@dalez9312]

Well, I'll try not to!

[@firstcade5718]

I love all of your helping videos because I just stared golf

[@connorleary6242]

Always love these coaching vids Pete. Keep em coming!

[@stuartholmes6262]

Note to self, no more doing coffees whilst watching Peter Finch videos. The driver tips were awesome thankyou, the spraying coffee out of my nose at the goat reference was not so good.

[@kenohanrahan4745]

New logo Pete, great improvement👍

[@allenchu3969]

I noticed the same. Looks like Pete is stepping up his game! 💪🔥

[@perthonabudget]

A famous golf coach once said, "It's all in the hips!" Happy :)

[@subbefore-yu4fu]

It’s quotable

[@philallen8272]

Worth watching for the snugness of those trousers alone, but also loaded with great advice. Thanks, Pete!

[@NDGolfer]

Hey Peter I'm not sure if you'll see this or not but I just won my Club Championship for the second year in a row thanks to your mental video you posted a week ago. Every shot I hit I asked a question instead of telling myself what it should be. I finished at -1 through the two days and that's my best score to date! I had shot a 92 in the State championship a few weeks before so it just shows the power of positive thinking and keeping your head on! Thanks again!

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

I really need more work on clubface position at impact. I am screwing up alot of tee shots costing me alot of chances at birdie putts and pars. I am missing it both sides of the fairway blocking it high to the right and low hooks. :( I am really shooting myself in the foot off the tee box. Few times I hit it square and it goes 260-270. I need to learn how to square the club face.

[@keithpergram7055]

I'm not a very coordinated person so combining all those movements are tough, but I continue to work at it. Great video Pete!

[@lukewhite9460]

Omg the intro music is the same as the intro music for Worst Games Ever on Vidiots😂

[@robinwitts3838]

commenting until pete comes to play with me: day 19

[@martynchamberlain6356]

Creepy lol

Good luck in the giveaway

[@johnmiller9953]

with your willy?

[@ItsFosta]

Love the Rick shiels podcast intro music 🎶 Thanks for another great lesson

[@BIGOGGIEGOLF]

Many people will know that I have had a very adventurous life and lead a rather interesting lifestyle and I promise you I have never Humped a Goat lol such a good video Peter.

[@subbefore-yu4fu]

With me it would be don’t slice it

[@fredvanoordt2230]

Isn’t that the Rick Shiels Golf Show Podcast jingle? Anyone got the number for Ed Sheeran’s lawyer? 😂

[@lintulauta123]

Pete, I have a question I have not ever been answered. I can smack a driver 109-110 mph if I jump out of my shoes, hit repeated shots, well warmed up, focus on creating just speed by technique etc. That's my ultimate max club head speed. What would then be a good range of gaming club head speed for driver? Same irons. I can whacksmack a 7 iron like 88-89 mph. What should be a gaming speed range?

[@pauloverett8652]

wow that's amazing now i hit the ball straight and long EVERY SINGLE time!!! Good video but ain't nothing every time in golf!

[@eagle-mangolf271]

I just cracked my phone smashing the like button harder than I would hit a 400 yard drive

[@wallstreetoneil]

You can't 'PUSH' into the ground because unless you somehow believe your back is PUSHING against the atmosphere PUSHING into the ground is impossible. You can quickly drop your mass by bending your legs, and then use this dropping / accelerating mass to push against, which can create a vertical force in excess of your mass, which you can then use to accelerate the club head away from this vertical acceleration. Another source of power is the stretching of the upper body lead side muscles by letting your lead side heel (left for right handed golfers) come off the ground (like Nicklaus) and then quickly stamping this foot down into the ground which stretches the torso's muscles which turns into an accelerating force that acts on the club. Basically look at Nicklaus' swing from his 20s and do everything he does.

[@shawntaylor7442]

I'm thinking of starting some Yoga to get more flexible. Not getting any younger. 🧘‍♂️🏌️‍♂️💪🤙

[@dduplessis399]

I'm gaming a titleist 915 D3 with a 75g xflex shaft. Should I get a newer driver like a TS3

[@Clinterus]

As a big long armed 6'2" guy I dont have a problem getting power...i just have a problem getting square! I definitely haven't been engaging my hips because I figured it'd be yet another variable for me to screw up. Guess now I have something to work on!

[@bigwinsports1406]

can you do a video on how to hit pure irons Peter? I am the worst iron player ever but drive it 265-290. Can't even get an 8 iron to go 150 yards with clean contact

[@Brian-gk2hg]

A good video for good players but in reality 90% of golfers (mostly middle aged) just don’t have the flexibility or athletic ability or core strength to carry out an athletic wind up on the backswing . As a coach im more than happy just to see in my pupils a little better width on the backswing and a little more awareness of the foot, ankle, knee and hip work on the way down! enjoyed the video👍

[@michellegh100]

hola!!! la verdad muy bueno video me gusto necesito el nuevo éxito me despido les dejo besis agradecido

[@daveshannon6563]

Hump the goat 😂😂 brilliant video as always 👍🏻👍🏻

[@justinstephenson9360]

I you look solely at club head speed simple physics tell us that this is a function of 3 things: how fast you are rotating your shoulders, how long the pendulum is from shoulders to club head and finally when and how fast you release the wrist set (that being the crack in the whip). Peter explains the first of those issues really well. The second is simply a function of having a straight lead arm. It is the third issue that I find difficult. When is the best time to release the wrist set for the final piece of acceleration: too late and I do not square the club face, too early and I am losing power. I have at least hit my first 300+ yard drive on Friday - yes it was downhill (slightly), with the wind behind me and rock hard fairways but that is not the point!

[@Phil_McAvity]

I enjoyed the video but I can’t really see how this would help a high handicap golfer. Surely it would only confuse them, it’s sorta info they don’t really need to know.

[@jamiepegram1971]

Pete, you ask what driver should you be using? If a regular slicer of the driver was to use a Draw driver, would the counter act the slice? Asking for a friend 🙄

[@Ri_Guy]

I’m swinging at 110 but only carrying it 240. I don’t need spin.

[@Rohan-ne4pp]

Great video Pete. Congratulations on the 300k subscribers

[@johncawley807]

Hi Pete, back to what you do best. Giving me hope. I wish you the best of luck with your new channel

[@boandersen5907]

Almost got away with slipping that one in Peter: ' ... that dreaded humping of the goat movement!'

[@jimmywoodman84]

Great advice - thank you. FYI - those tight grey pants are a bit much :-o.

[@gideonjohannesbasson5229]

“Hit that like button harder than what you would a 400yrd drive 😂” That make me lol

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

I just broke my phone hitting the like button. Never listening to my online coach ever again!!

[@keithward.504]

Can't believe Rick stole the tune at the start of this video for his podcast 😂 think you are owed a few quid Mr Finch 🤑

[@jpion23]

can't wait to try these tips, anyone know what model is Petes shoes? Adidas i guess and non-golf, but they look sweet!

[@stuartjames1971]

I can safely say that I’ve never had any notion of “humping the goat” in my golf swing ..... or indeed any aspect of my life 😐😂👍🏻

[@NativeBeanpole]

5:20

[@curtisrey9242]

Practice, or quit moaning. lol, love your obvious commentary many of us refuse to admit to ourselves.

[@joshtombs4429]

I smashed my phone smashing the like button as far as a 400yrd drive

[@darrylboxall2323]

The music at the beginning sounds familiar 🤔 Mr Shiels has stolen this for his podcast!

[@haggismuncher429]

I just get to the range and hit 200 hundred balls at a time. Your sore and knackered but its well worth it.

[@landonbethune7668]

This concerns none to this video but all I'm saying is ping g30 irons 😂

[@NativeBeanpole]

Started with your vids... shame shielsy hit 1 mil before you... just a matter of time imo

[@Eraera1]

Can you talk about why/how some "hover" and others set the club on the ground. You hover and someone like Bryson hover. When I have tried that, I can't get a consistent return b/c I seem to start at different points. Why don't you just set the club on the ground?

[@Stephen05777]

Momentum. Moving a still club takes a bigger force than a club that isn't at rest on the ground

[@Stephen05777]

It's more technical than that. But that's the general idea

[@waynetrinier4654]

Never had you pegged for a country boy Pete but you seem to know your way around a goat... Hahaha.

[@HALOMOVIEMUSIC]

Longer Drives is the Future of Golf ⛳

[@aidanwatson3499]

Did what you said and hit the like button hard as i could... Can I get a new phone screen?

[@clintsanderson6019]

DAMN... I’m a friggin’ goat humper 😢

[@jmtgolf2756]

Not even SIM could replace my 2017 m1

[@oodangerous94]

Please don't wear those trousers again. There are some things you can't unsee :(

[@GQ-lj6hq]

Isn’t this the new intro song for the rick shiels golf podcast? 🤔

[@demcomp]

It's amazing how easily he threw in that "Humping the Goat" comment.. hahahaha!😂😂😂

[@NativeBeanpole]

5:20

[@demcomp]

@@NativeBeanpole hahahahah, thanks! I never tagged it.

[@victorshaffer3859]

Is that Rick shiel’s podcast jingle?

[@rokstern7042]

I've been working on my early hip extension for quite some time now, and I realized just about a fortnight ago that I need to forget working on anything else until I get this down. This is currently my key point. I think this video will help to explain many golfers that you really need to pull you right hip back from where it started and not push the left hip forward. There is a massive difference in those two things. Also to then keep the right hip back and then pull the left hip back as well, creating the room to rotate through.

[@koleka3233]

This has the same intro music as the Rick Shiels podcast 😅

[@mgolf82]

Peter does extra tight pants help you drive it further

[@krawczak9182]

Long straight drives no way not possible

[@neilgardner8066]

Should of titled it ‘How to smash the shite out of it!’ Hammer it

[@johnsfuller]

Great video, but now my goat is depressed

[@PaulTardino]

I know you’re European but no on those pants. Just no.

[@prosperousrlt3110]

Hahaha....🏌️‍♂️🐐⛳🤣🤤😲

[@hautboxxradio]

Golf is hard 😆⛳️🏌️‍♂️

[@collinmcatee9655]

do you use the TP5x pix or the TP5 pix ball

[@brewssssss_]

When are you going for your driver fitting mate?

[@xxmp26xx]

What if a coach is trying to tell you to slow down?

[@matt_88]

5:21 " that dreaded hunping-the-goat movement" 😂😂

[@ryandunwoodie8512]

I feel bad for the balls rory mcilroy hits

[@markdelej]

Finchy hits a 230 yard fade tho?

[@tuplifting]

Broke my mouse trying to subscribe.

[@callumshield14]

Hi peter. Me and my team of golfers are going to complete the 72 hole challenge late next month to raise month for Macmillan. My son has been battling a brain tumour since December and I was just wondering if you would be up for spreading the word? Thank you

[@callumshield14]

Can send you link to the donations page if you are up for it

[@ClintWilber]

I don't know about those pants Pete. 🤔

[@thecringegolfer]

We have lots of goats around here. 😜

[@Hambone510]

Bryson is about to watch this video

[@theodoreking8605]

Is that the same place Rick shiels drives

[@AWGMikey]

Best KZbin coach

[@ahandsumguy]

0:27 Thanks Pete, you broke my mouse!

[@micah6615]

Goat Humpers 😂😂

[@tjmeyer3037]

Hi Pete, Congrats on the new channel and direction. I would really love to see a lesson on grip, grips and counterweighting. I use kangaroo leather grips from Gripmaster and since I started with them I've been able to give my gloves away. They outlast everything on the market, gain grip when wet and come in a variety of sizes, colors and applications. Why aren't they more prevalent? Price point? You save money on gloves re-grip frequency. I know of no one else using them. Great product. Check them out.

[@dannysharp5648]

Ground Force was a good programme and dreaded humping goat movement kills any Swing, but what you said about Ground Force and it's all in the hips makes sense, Pete another great video.

[@jimwashere104]

This is the stuff subbed for.

[@jogden1459]

Yeah, great vid pal! 👍

[@cupofjoe2562]

I only started golfing a few years ago, but no matter what I tried I could only hit my driver about 150 yards. Recently I followed this advise and now I can consistently hit my driver 200+ yards.

[@matthewsmith22]

Do you still have any of the swing thoughts carrying over from the quest for 350? God, that was a while ago! Times flies when you play golf so goes the saying 😊

[@matthewmillar9412]

I watch both Peter’s videos and Rick‘s videos as well but have come to a conclusion. Rick is probably the better golfer, but when it comes to actual content on how to improve ur game as a golfer, Peter wins that one pretty easily in my eyes.

[@matthewofriel8370]

After watching this video it all makes sense to me now why i at 5 foot 8 inches tall with shoes can hit it over 300 carry distance. Ive always hit it far for mu dize with every club but my driver is stupid long and it is because i just naturally do what you taught in your video Pete thanks bro Cheers!

[@mr5039]

Quick question Pete. Would developing the ability to eliminate early extension also eliminate and over the top movement? I guess the swing thought I’m trying to use is to make the arms wait in the downswing.

[@RandyKekipi]

Thanks!!!!! Peter...well done on the Driver theory... learn something today....

[@johnstoltzfoos3218]

Nice collection of clubs

[@GolfWeekly]

Awesome breakdown Pete. Super helpful around all the different dynamics when using the big stock.

[@Mhester1987]

Get bigger pants...

[@justeeoff]

Thanks Pete will be swinging in the garden now I’ve watched this ..no goat humping though 🤨🏌🏼‍♀️

[@gavin8327]

Hi Peter, another great video. I was just curious about your comment regarding Training. I am guilty of early extension and have tried hard to fix it with limited success. Which training exercises would help? Is it improved core strength?

[@TheBadgolferman]

Thats the best explaination of smashing a driver on You tube yet. For once I totally understood what a golf coach was talking about.

[@tylerfox8984]

Where can I find that hat

[@willmcmurray6084]

That's it , 350 yards coming right up 🤘🏻👍🙃

[@craigunsworth8449]

I’ve just been fitted with the sim. Unreal club. Keep up the good work

[@ramonmoreno1658]

Super video. Absolutely loved all the information and I am going to try to apply as much as I can to my golf swing.
