How to hit the driver

[@rickeyfoster852]

Best hitting driver explanation I have ever heard. None of the 1000 swing thoughts that I can’t remember and don’t have enough flexibility to do. Love it Jimmy you’re the best

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Rickey, thanks for watching. Hope the videos help.

[@Hubertalcala]

I love it how you simplify things. So much easier to understand and implement. Another helpful and awesome video. Thanks Jim!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Im glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

[@JeffPassageCPA]

This video is worth so much more to us double-digit handicappers than anything those Golf Magazine "top 100" teachers could ever or would ever teach. Thank you JIMMY!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewminty3250]

You are the best instructor.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks andrew! I appreciate it

[@40redfox40]

I’m struggling with my driver right now and have watched many videos trying to correct it…in theory all I have seen should work..BUT…It all gets in my head and I swear Im getting more inconsistent as a result. Your lesson here is the most refreshing thing I’ve heard…it should keep my head clear and my body loose. I’ll let you know how it goes. THANK YOU for keeping things simple!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

its just golf. clear your mind. do less, think less.

[@nwyounan]

on my way to the range. great tip.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching. Hope it helps

[@duu8803]

Gonna try this. I am struggling with hooks and pull. Whatbdo you think about grip pressure throughout the swing jim?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

this is why you are hooking/pulling kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKfUq5SulMxglck

[@patmac104]

Jimmy. You make it sound easy :)

[@jmm1817]

Excellent lesson Way to keep it simple, thanks, brother

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thank you for watching. I hope it helps you.

[@brianmoss9399]

I really like the idea of using a wedge to take practice swings to cement the feel beforehand. I didn’t play driver the entire year last year (literally took it out the bag) - way too inconsistent with it. This year I want to try to bring it back and I think this will help. Thanks!

[@Drums-yz4ss]

The "little lateral push" is key to dropping the club "into the slot" and most often ignored. Good video!!!

[@thisisjosh18]

Jimmys golf tips fixed my entire golf game. All the other golf tips on KZbin suck and are over complicated for the average weekend golfer .

Hi Jimmy , love the channel , Hello from England 😊

Thank you for watching. Hope it helps

[@mikevito89]

That hands fwd and ball 3/4 back video was a game changer.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

so happy that worked for you. thanks for watching. :) be smooth- jimmy tropicanagolfshop.com

[@barkermotorsports7101]

Thanks for this video. Driver is my worst club with a big slice unless I swing slow. Have trouble hitting off the heel so going to for sure try your tips! Appreciate the great videos.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Smooth it out my friend!

[@MarkG_603]

Losing tension and learning trust is what I learned to be a deal breaker with driver. When that happens, hitting the sweet spot is the reward. Distance thoughts are not our friends, solid contact is king.

[@williamahlers6851]

Great advice; my difficulty is developing a feel for the lateral push. I can’t seem to feel this movement. Would a subtle pause at the top help or would this be a detriment to the downswing? Thank you

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

@@williamahlers6851 dont feel a push if you cant. Feel like your weight goes to your front foot on your downswing. Its a falling sensation onto your front foot

[@MarkG_603]

@williamahlers6851 Adam Porzak and Mike Pitt work together and each have a channel. They teach the forward bump quite well, look them up, you won't regret it.

[@khamkenchanh2735]

You're the man, Jimmy! 👍 👍 My problem is I'm always trying to hit a draw when my natural ball flight is automatic fade 😁😊. I will definitely try your tip the next time I'm on the range. Thanks!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Play what you got! It works out better. Good luck. Thanks for watching!

Thx Jimmy!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching!

[@salreynajr7005]

Great video Jimmy. Question, when you say to wave to the camera and then you just brush the ground, do you mean to keep those hands forward at impact? Or do you allow your hands to turn over? Reason I ask is because keeping my hands forward works great for irons, but I struggle doing that with driver. I’m wondering if I should keep trying to do it. Appreciate your videos.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hey sal. I just put out a video 2 days ago that explains exactly how to do this. Check it out. Thanks

[@hillarydeston]

Thanks, finally see the shot tracers.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

👍🏼👍🏼 thanks for watching

[@joelknight9965]

Jimmy, vital question: how do you keep from leaving a good cigar on the T box? I’ve driven back 2 holes to find one in the past.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

This is how you keep from losing it. tropicanagolfshop.com/products/cigar-holder-with-magnet-and-tee

[@joeidaho5938]

The part about hitting up is crucial. My tendency occasionally is to not let myself post and tilt at impact, to ensure club is moving up. I manage to come straight across, for some reason....and either top it....or hit a worm-burner. Ensuring you keep moving upwards gives a beautiful long straight drive.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

You got it right. Thanks for watching. Hope it helps

[@82forU]

I like the mind set Jimmy. Hit it like a PW!😎👍🥃

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

You got it. Thanks for watching.

[@ovi2nedelcu2]

great stuff Jimmy. These tips are gold. thanks. question: where do you play the rest of your clubs in your stance? driver - front foot irons(wedge-7i ?)- back foot? woods/irons 6i-2i - centered?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

All my irons are just inside my back foot. Driver is inside my front foot. Thanks for watching

[@ovi2nedelcu2]

what about the woods?@@TropicanaEntertainment

[@dahoop5933]

Legend! Loving the tracer :)

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thank you for watching!

[@jmoormanfree4fr]

If you're hitting an iron or fairway wood off the tee, ie teed up, where do you place the ball?

[@RocketRanger711]

Would you recommend the 6.9 degree driver for high handicappers or is a higher loft better? Thank you.

[@philliprash6887]

The shot tracer is nice! Was your club face aimed to left or center fairway? Thanks

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I start everything left and let it fade back. It suits my eye. Thanks for watching

[@peterrhowells]

Thanks for yet another excellent and very helpful video. What distance were you typically getting?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

@@peterrhowells i hit it 260-280 with that mentality

[@simonsilva5040]

Jimmy, what type of driver that you using or brand?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

its a 6.9 driver. Best driver I've ever used. keeps the ball low. tropicanagolfshop.com/products/the-6-9-driver

[@vinayakphadke9037]

If u hit fade..will we not loose distance ?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Fade, not slice. You’ll be fine

[@elkora_7138]

yeuhh we got a tracer now👏🏻

Thanks for watching

Lmao 🤣 he said 3 states over lol thats me man I'm trying to murder that ball and it doesn't even go far, very good tip its all about tempo smooth easy swing like your pitch

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Smooth is fast my friend. Thanks for watching

[@JustMudkip]

How do you hit a pitching wedge

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Video about this coming today

[@gcoffey223]

Golf is a crazy game. I've been driving well for a while. Went to the range today to practice driving tge ball into the ground with irons. Last 20 balls or so, broke out the driver. Apparently I forgot how to hit my driver cause I was everywhere but good. 😂😂😂😂

I paid $1000 au dollars 2 years ago for the latest and greatest ping driver and fucked my head up watching all the you tube channels , thanks I’ll try this and hopefully put it back in the bag

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Love to hear it. Good luck

[@westcoastwally1992]

Bro. Really like your vids. But bro, the flight tracker needs to go, cause it's broken. Showed that you Carried the first drive 300. That carry was 220-240 MAX and with that cut, probably a respectable 260. C'mon my Man...

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I think you’re on the wrong page. I dont have a flight tracker. Never had one

[@woodenclogs5830]

Jimmy…I know this is a driver lesson but at the beginning you say you have the ball inside your right heel for irons. In your other vids you always say play the ball back for irons. On your recommendation I bought the 69 wedge and play the ball about half way back from Center to the right heel. Would that be good for all irons or back further? You’re making golf fun and better…thanks!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hey man. My right foot is my back foot. I play irons just inside my right foot. 69 wedge is played back there too. Only the driver is played on the front foot. Thanks for watching
