I tried the third drill on the driving range today, and then right afterward on the course. I’ve been hitting the ball pretty well this past year, straight but with a tendency of opening the face and coming over the top mixed in from time to time. My normal driving distance these past three years has been 215-225 and I had resolved myself to that being normal for someone who’s 66 years old. Well, on the driving range I hit a few of the first drives off line, but there was a more solid feel, I was compressing the ball better. Last two practice drives were impressively long. I took it out to the course during a best ball tournament and was consistently hitting a nice draw (which never happens) and distance (no BS) was between 270-285 yards. I haven’t hit that far since my mid-late 30’s. So, my goal now is to taper this back to a normal stance and continue the in to outside club head path. Kudos to you and Dave for providing this drill.

Phenomenal drills. I tried the drill that you stand further away and back from the ball. I couldnt help but draw the driver ( I had been a slicer)..I gained at least 40 yards with a beautiful ball flight. Thank you for one of the best golf videos I have seen !!

That last drill is how I ALWAYS hit my driver. Listening to more and more to lessons.... I now realize why that seems to work for me. 1) I line the driver 6 inch behind the ball and just the tip of the club where the ball is. That should allow me to easily pass the basket test. 2) it makes me stretch to hit the ball coming around in the arch or angle they all recommend rather than sort of hacking down at it. I am curious to see how the 1st drill would work with that stance.

Loved those drills , and great to see dave back again..... just a thought though,nothing to do with the drills... I noticed that your hands on all of those shots was right at the end of the grip. Curious to know how you maintain grip pressure with your hands so high. Seems to work for you,but dont think I could manage it..... I have to have my hands further down the grip to feel some control.
