How To Hit Your Driver Straight and Long!

[@hscout21]

H. Scout Thank You for the driver video. After 40 years of slicing, watching numerous videos and reading instructions in magazines, your 10 minute video changed my game from frustration to excitement. I gained 30 yards on my drive and I’m hitting many more fairways. Your short game instructions are also very helpful, your teaching method is entertaining and the instructions clearly presented and easy to understand.

[@michaelflores22]

Bro!!!!!! Today i went out and killed it with my driver. Hit all but two fairways and I crushed my drives. Thanks bro keep up the good work.

[@dougarmstrong4204]

After 20 years of playing, some private lessons and a lots of practice buckets, your left wrist "turning the screw" was what was missing in my swing. A BIG thank you!

[@helmuttrimmel6020]

Which way are you turning the screw? Towards the ball or away?

[@johnfieldhouse2682]

What a superb tutorial on the driver. I must have watched a thousand driver videos and never got it. You’ve narrowed the hundred elements i have seen that are supposed to magically come together in your head into just a couple of things to do. I cannot wait to try this out. Thank you so much!

[@travisf6754]

This is by far, the BEST driver tutorial.

[@maximilliannovel3986]

After having taken lessons, watched numerous videos, this video finally made it click for me. The head cover, distance from the body and hands at ears in particular helped. I can now hit my driver and drive the ball around 270 yards.

[@robe21]

Love how you get to the point about the things in the swing most instructors dont want to tell you right away because they milk you for $$$. I went to 10 lessons at Golftec, good lessons. But no one would ever explain the wrists in transition in a simplified way. I learned on KZbin myself after searching and searching. Wish you would have been around 5 years ago....keep up the good work!!

[@glennfogarty8382]

Wow! Killed it today, Narrowed my stance, set the driver a little closer and only missed 2 fairways and they were just off the fairway by a foot or two. Excellent tips. Thanks

[@errolkane1966]

I’ve been a surf instructor in Waikiki since 98’. Trying to teach the basics and keeping it simple so students get some good long rides. I’m a great instructor an even better surfer. But me and all my friends love golf. I’m. Not good, I shoot 90s and 80s. Still learning. I watched a ton of golf videos. They just messed everything up. But I really enjoy your videos! You are a good instructor. Keep it simple and the material relatable. Love it! 👍🤙🏼

[@HappyCamper334]

Thank you for this video, seriously. Two days ago I saw comments of people saying they hit more fairways than ever before after these tips and thought they may have been bots promoting the video. Fast forward to today, I played a round over the weekend and got more fairways like others have said. Turning the screw was like a lightbulb in my head and my downswing felt much more natural. My single-digit handicap buddy was only hitting it 10-20 yards farther than me from the fairway, whereas I would usually be hitting from some deep rough on the right. MrShortGame has the goods for the whole course!

[@11cwest]

Amazing tutorial, this all is so easy to follow and broken down to simplify it! So many videos complicate it to a degree you cannot follow. I’m consistently over 300 yards now because of this video, awesome!!👍

[@stevegraves4233]

i love the turning the screw tip....really simple and fun to listen to

[@MM-zb9kc]

Great video. Your insight on how to describe something is very refreshing. Hands to ear is something everyone can relate to and visualize. Some of the instructors get too technical instead of explaining it in a way regular folks can understand. The way you explain it lets people use their natural athleticism and not get too bogged down with swing mechanics/thoughts. As others said many times before KISS, keep it simple stupid. LOL

[@janicetomaso2129]

That lesson was the best lesson I ever had! Bravo! Love the Ben Hogan Golf video lessons also! You’re awesome! ! Thank you! 😍👏👏👏👏

[@neilkorsgaard]

I, for one, am happy he did a segment on the driver. Mr. Short Game does such a good job of explaining how to "feel" the correct motion and practice with these drills helps me to internalize that feeling. thank you!

[@Primozeke720]

I love learning from people who have a genuine love for what they are teaching! Thank you!

[@jordanhaar5928]

Definitely a big part of the game i struggle in. The should/toe and hand/ear tip makes so much sense and turning of the screw makes it seem so much more simple. Your tips give you fewer things to think about when on the tee box. Learned more in this short video than watching all of the 20-30 min long videos. Thanks!

[@shariefhendricks1716]

Mr.SGG, your videos are the most fun and practical. I found this driver tutorial really helpful, as my downswing is inconsistent, and you seriously simplified it with 'toe to ear' then turning the screw...brilliant !!!! Thanx so much Sharief South Africa

[@thrillhouse4784]

i like how no nonsense his instruction is, and its not too gimmicky to clever. just easy to use info. thanks!

[@TimFlaherty]

Love the "turn the screw" motion.

[@cyborg6999]

That take away tip very helpful. Still think your single best when it comes to full swing/driver is "release at target and not at the ball" in another vid. Heard it many times, of course, but not seen demonstrated in quite that way! Well done.

[@ericturner585]

Thanks this turning the screw has helped me a ton with my other clubs, but not my Driver. I still use all of the other tips to help me hit my driver. I am hitting driver better with the other tips.

[@p-rod88]

Just getting into golf. Your channel is the best to learn from.

[@ronnleffler7201]

That last tip is magic!!!! I have a tendency to confuse that move with just moving my left thumb straight right which keeps the club face open wide instead of turning it down you make have solved the mystery as to why I’ve been so inconsistent from day to day. That’s what I need to feel. Nice channel quick and to the point videos!

[@Dougs-Ear-Hole-Entertainment]

Glad I found you. The left wrist turn the screw is crucial. Started to apply it about a week before watching this video. Didn't have a visual grasp of turn the screw but same exact concept. Man it works great! It's like Hogans secret. Thanks.

[@gregorioc8383]

You are the best golf instructor I came across with. Simple and informative. You made my golf game better. Thank you.

[@christhomas9864]

Excellent communication applied the concepts and hitting the ball much much better. My hands were too far away from my body and was too spread out... Now the ball is going down the middle. Good stuff!

[@thelastcrusader4593]

dude,thats a great help,i have been struggling with the 1 driver but that vid helped me out no end,thx

[@dakedietrich7428]

Tried these tips yesterday at the range and hit my driver longer and straighter than I have all year. Now I just need to practice and make these changes permanent. Thanks Matt!!!

[@robialG]

Not sure if you'll read this BUT. Despise the lads lads lads TOV of the channel, I've been attracted by the simplicity of the way you look at golf and swing, this resonates with me since I don't have 10 sesh a week to refine every detail of my game and create one perfect swing and associated "swing thought" for each club and shot. Anyways, I took this class up the range today and applied it, cos it made sense, and could FINALLY deliver consistency to this b... Of a club. It was a miracle. A true f... Miracle. I now have a draw shape, feel comfortable at address and can enjoy driver. Thank you, you've REALLY made a happy golfer. And won a follower.

[@SuperMrbrown84]

The hands at the ear helped immensely! Love all your tips and the way you keep it “real”! Keep going!

[@rainuih]

Best tutorial driver i've seen!!! keep doing such good tutorials, love you my hero! haha!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@edwardklement8321]

Mr. Short game. My best round was probably 105, struggled a lot until you. Now my net will be here this week. Taking my lap top in the yard by hitting mat. Oh yeah, I shot with 92 with 3 puts that lipped out. Mostly from learning how to hit my irons better. Still having distance with my irons. I expect that to get better soon. Thanks man, your the best.

[@islandswell7549]

Watched your video. Narrow stance and hands to the ear! Awesomeness!!!

[@codywheten6242]

Watched half of this video and subscribed.... holy sh** you make it so much easier to understand these techniques. True teacher... Bell has been rung! Can't wait for the next video!

[@andrewgreen7690]

Stance width was KEY tip for me. Thanks!

[@raybachmann1471]

Turn the screw tip is a great one. It made all the difference. Ray

[@dejianren9413]

"shoulder to toe, hand to ear", this is really helpful to make a correct swing plane.

[@charlieluckhardt2385]

This is the best driver video I have seen. Thank you much.

[@teamgafff]

Excellent video. Helps big time. Very concise explanation.

[@germain3588]

Wow, you have a way of explaining things better than anyone one else. Great video.

[@jerrycoile338]

Another good video! I drive the ball pretty straight most of the time and what helps me more than anything is not bailing out on the swing too early or rushing my rhythm. I call it trying to guide the ball.

[@scottpokorny5497]

I’m gonna try this video this weekend to be continued TY for all the helpful videos

[@wkndwarrior4733]

Love this video. Have watched numerous times over the years

[@blackout1685]

Just watched this video and can’t wait to try this out. I’ve only been golfing for about 4 months and I think this is the best video I’ve come across that explains distance and foot placement. Thanks for the advice!!

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

Tnank you!!! I love the turn the screw cue. I was feeling that there was something missing at the transition into the downswing yesterday. This is it. I'm going to work in this tomorrow.

[@tom2176]

This worked really well for me. Great easy swing thoughts / feels

[@Dave-ow7gy]

I love the tips - subtle but perfect..

[@teedup23]

This has been great for me as a beginner. Felt quite awkward to do during my first few hits at the range but getting more and more comfortable every time. Front shoulder to back toe, hands to ear and turning the screw has helped me tremendously. Can hit some bombs when done correctly. Hit a 284 yard PB straight down the pipe and the feedback through my Driver was awesome. “Grip it and rip it” Appreciate the help!

[@jeffcarroll338]

Thank you so much. I watched your video and changed my game forever.

[@telefrk49]

Tried this today, and was blown away! Pounded my drives like never before! And with a nice fade !! Started losing the ball right later on, but its only first time!! Love your vids!!

[@jerryk6343]

Best driver lesson ever...finally I get the bkswng/dnswng hip rotation!

[@paulwoodward5384]

Great tutorial- I’ve now been practicing this and it’s made such an improvement. It’s so much more simpler to use.

[@davidgarcia-zd3mw]

I wish I would have seen this tutorial a long time ago, been having issues with slicing, this fixed it, thank you

[@Kman1960]

Big fan or ur videos. You have the ability to simplify the golf swing down to the very basics. Can’t wait to take this info to the range.

[@joepagac752]

my name is joe i am 80 years old i have never been able to hit my driver until now an my short game is getting better since i starting you i just want to say thanks an keep up the videos i love them ,

[@catalog2345]

Man...you are the best! Thanks for the pointers. I am heading to the range.

[@phehir9010]

Well done! I am one of those low back swings and...my big driver fault is over the top. I will work off of this video to see how I do. Thanks!

[@randymotsinger5045]

Thank you, I loved this information. I know there are several changes I am going to make. Your instruction is very concise and easy to understand.

[@44Millen]

Been having lessons at a High tech facility. you're absolutely spot on. I need to work on my "screw" action and fire my hips round so i don't end up pushing the ball to the right. Great instruction sir.

[@muledds]

Thanks dude. Just started following you about a month ago. Simple thoughts to really make a difficult game a little easier. Much appreciated!

[@hancockbrandingxcommunicat8573]

Can’t wait to try this tomorrow!

[@andygood1647]

This brought clarity to my driver issues - im certain this will help me

[@felipe_uk2840]

This should be compulsory viewing for all slicers. I have watched lots of instructional golf videos and this guy is undoubtedly the best teacher. Wonderful combination of enthusiasm and clarity. And he hits lots of shots to show that he can practice what he preaches! I would only add one thing that is worth trying (on the range, initially) if you are still have problems with the occasional wild slice: put the ball in the middle of your stance. Yes, middle. If you have the club face open at the very bottom of your swing it will be even worse by the time you get to the ball.

[@michaelmorreale4707]

Outstanding advice in this and all of your videos. Huge fan. Thank you.

[@APlusBrandon]

I watch a lot of golf videos.. a lot! But now I only watch yours! Good stuff and thank you so much!

[@antoniocreswell4365]

“Turn the screw” it’s like “sand the floor” or “paint the fence” from karate kid. Very good tutorial. Helpful keep up the good work

[@emileskuce5851]

This completely saved my game!! I had a massive pull hook after picking up a Taylor Made SLDR driver... Tried everything and couldn't fix it. Followed your techniques and it absolutely helped! Had to make 1 minor adjustment and that was standing about a clubhead and a half away from the ball. Scored my best round this past weekend by hitting solid drives! Thanks for the awesome advice!

[@alfsimon]

Tried it yesterday and it worked. Thank you!

[@soharabkhan4882]

What a difference these tips made to my game this evening. Awesome. Thanks.

[@robertplaster9041]

Great Instruction easy to follow best on KZbin

[@Mr1970s]

Matt, I like how you use "front" and "back" instead of left and right. As a lefty golfer it's frustrating when most instructors (who are rightys) use left and right and I have to change it in my head to the opposite. It's easier to comprehend when it's front and back. New subscriber; love the channel.

[@jamesward7099]

Great video. It makes sense and you show and explain everything. I am a leftie and in my seventies and can do everything but TURN THE SCREW as I use the Moe Norman, single plane method. By not turning my wrists I find I hit the ball straighter but am definitely going to try your steps. Thanks again

[@denwin5801]

Hi

[@wiebuleud]

Very insightful tutorial video... my driver shoot is improving alot... easy to digest... thanks alot sir.... 👍

[@aaron21000]

A lot of the videos I watch are very different then what I work on with my swing coach, but not this one. I tend to get too far inside on my drives, so this is a great video for me.

[@Holbournfam2408]

Awesome video man. I like that you just simplified things and not made it too complicated.

[@missibaker1364]

Old lady with high handicap here. Very helpful! Headed to driving range now. Will let you know.

[@achimbalters645]

Great Video! Can you go into this "turn the screw" thing more in detail next time?

[@benjy_912]

Hopefully this helps to fix my wicked 30 yard slice!! Big fan of the videos, you make everything sound so simple and doable, will be putting this to practice at the range

[@codyks1988]

Great content man! Driver is the club that can give me a low to mid 80 round or high 90s. This was such a great and different way to get the CONSISTENT feels off the tee and utilize the club. Thanks for putting out your great content! Cheers!

[@counselor5286]

Narrowing the stance and moving hands closer to the body wand ditching the low takeaway has made a world of difference. Haven't been able to feel like I am turning the screw without closing the club face. Thank you for these great visuals and effective point by point and then recap of of each of your points as you go to the next tip

[@jeffsmith3941]

I’m going to try this tomorrow morning. All your other tips have worked and I’m thinking this one will too. Thanks so much for these videos they’ve made me actually really enjoy this game. Jeff Smith

[@nc25661]

Excellent tutorial. Easy to listen to. Love the swing thoughts. Going to the range now to try them out

[@pasqualeminicucci1643]

Good video. Turning the screw is the most challenging piece.

[@chuckprice4286]

It's been a struggle off the box lately, needed a refresher course! Thanks!!

[@desarioe]

My new favourite you tube teacher!

[@thatwilldonicely1314]

terrific driver vid, better than virtually any i have ever seen on YT, cheers

[@jamelynch4474]

You are the best teacher out here!!

[@philipkeegan4459]

Just found your channel.... hooked already. Keeping it simple 👍

[@rdlez]

I really dig "running the screw" swing tip. Thanks

[@ev0lution187]

Love the enthusiasm. I've never heard of the "turn the screw" portion (most of the hands stuff is usually strengthening grip, placement, etc.) but it makes all the sense in the world. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@X4XFAMINE]

I have watched video after video after the last 6 months and nothing helped me. Then I found your videos and since watching your videos my game has all around improved. So, thank you very much for doing these to help us high handicappers out. Thanks!

[@eysiboy4426]

Tried this "Turning the screw" at the range today. I found it very effective. Thanks for this tip. All the best.

[@douglascruz9914]

Bro I just started watching you you are so Goldin you are genius totally mean this from the bottom of my heart I have never hit a ball so straight before until this thank you so much

[@jwneuend]

Great message. It's simple visually to understand.

[@SavedInANanosecond.]

Love ur videos bro! John 3:16

[@KevinLuWX]

The fanning takeaway fix is perhaps the most effective for accuracy. My swing is kind of short, so take away matters more to me than most other golfers

[@johnnymunro2259]

Hi there blu at last, I fell that it is coming together, and that is only after two round's. Thank you Mr am going to keep at it, not got to the screw yet one step at a time.

[@ballforegolf]

3 years later and still a good one to watch. Thanks

[@raihusain7425]

Finally I found a driver video by you thanks Man ⛳🙏🏻❤️
