SIMPLY Do This & You Will Instantly FIX Your Driver

[@JeromeRufin]

Hey all! I just built this golf app where you can get exclusive lessons from the world's greatest golf coaches. It's been the biggest game changer to helping me improve, and wanted everyone to be able to do the same. Check it out here! caddyai.io/

[@biggdrew7764]

Watched this a few times last night. All day today I was visualizing what I had watched last night. Finally got to to the range and took a few practice swings my regular way and then finally hit some balls and I was still sucking. I went back and reviewed this video and got back on the range and all I can say is WOOOOOOOW!!! Out of 60 balls, 49 of them, for the most part, were damn near straight and on target. All of them were at least 250 yards or better. I WAS SOOOOOO HAPPY WITH MY DRIVER THAT I ACTUALLY LEFT THE RANGE AND WENT BACK W HOURS LATER JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS WASNT A FLUKE. I went back and picked up were I left off. I can't wait to play this Sunday and show off my new driving skills to the fellas. THANK YOU....THANK YOU....THANK YOU!!!!!

[@randymahony8157]

For having been playing golf for a few months, I think you're doing great

[@toddschmidt7096]

Really cool to see Chris' approach to molding your golf swing. EXTREMELY impressed with the channel. Great work

[@glennnass3719]

I like this coach. Mike would have corrected your driver in the same fashion but it's important to feel comfortable with with the new advice. Good lesson today 😊

[@bradericksen3175]

I love that Chris is teaching you how it feels and then shows you what it looks like afterwards. This a good next step in your journey. You will be bombin’ those drives soon.

[@nicholasbjork]

Been watching too many KZbin golf lessons lately and got completely turned around on my driver. Watched one of your other driver videos yesterday and had one of my best days of the tee in a while. Thanks for all the helpful content. I’m going to work on shoulder to head at the range this afternoon. Makes too much sense.

[@samuelc3291]

This coach is super cool. He’s kind in the way he delivers his information. People take things to heart easy and this guy softens his approach

[@paulasosborne]

watching this video made me realize exactly what I was doing wrong with my driver! Even my coach was impressed with my improvement! This is exactly what I needed

[@PaulMongan]

What a really nice coach seems to be so invested

[@CoconutBanger]

As a newb, having someone show me the feel in my hands and throught the swing is extremely helpful. I''ll have to work on reviewing video of my natural habits and strike patterns at home/range, then try working with a coach.

Let me know how it goes! :)

Great driver lesson, with fantastic tips. Thanks for sharing your journey

[@andy1or2]

That guy is a fantastic instructor...!! communicates extremely well...

[@jordangourley3955]

This totally fixed my driver in 1 swing. Before that 1 swing I was hitting weak drives to the right about 145 yards, after this tip I immediately started hitting towering push draws out to 360 carry, I shot a 58 in my last round and set my club course record. Thanks to this total not clickbait titled video.

[@sandyr5195]

Bullshit! You, in one swing, went from 145 yards right to 360 carry with a draw? Congratulations. You are now out driving Rory McElroy. We won’t even go to breaking 60.

[@gzman1]

The pull cut (the chandelle- check out Payne Stewart)is a great go to shot, its mine, open stance hit in in the heel a bit and aim a bit left.

Mike gave you the best swing analysis.

[@RockyStarcruzer]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🏌️‍♂️ Make sure to get the driver path right to avoid slicing. 00:22 🏌️‍♂️ Focus on the "fast-slow-slow-fast" tempo in your swing. 01:08 🏌️‍♂️ Work on hovering the club and tilting your shoulders to hit up on the driver. 03:23 🏌️‍♂️ Ensure your spine tilt and head position are correct for an effective driver setup. 04:51 🏌️‍♂️ Practice hitting from the inside and avoiding pop-ups. 08:47 🏌️‍♂️ Work on staying behind the ball to avoid a pull fade. 13:01 🏌️‍♂️ Use contact tape to monitor your hits and learn what the misses feel like. 15:52 🏌️‍♂️ Aim for a square clubface with a slight tilt for optimal driver performance. 16:20 🏌️‍♂️ Focus on maintaining good tempo and hitting up on the ball for consistent driver results. 18:29 🏌️‍♂️ Embrace the journey of improvement and subscribe to the channel for more golf lessons and progress updates.

[@tscreez490]

Great video, im glad I’m in So Cal, this dude seems to be a great instructor

[@eddien9634]

Thank you tons for sharing this lesson of yours with Mr. Smeal man, what an outstanding and simple way to learn proper setup and swing mechanics with a coach like him. That was awesome to watch, and will definitely help improve my game as I too tend to tilt too much toward the ball during the backswing instead of staying in posture!

[@boggart11]

Awesome lesson! Will try this in the range soon! :) great content!

[@D2unez]

Moving the shoulder the chin instead of chin to shoulder advice is what I feel is really going to help me. I started watching pose swings and analyzed that they all do the same thing shoulder to chin, and it helps them stay behind the ball

[@barrysmith7291]

What a great teacher 👍

[@rickt3883]

Thanks for sharing Jerome, great tips plus your new swing looks great

[@derekblankenship6079]

Im not a pro by any means but your initial swing reminds me of mine a couple years ago. Im surprised I didnt hear him say anyting about it. That shoulder spinout move killed my driver swing for quite a while. A drill that helped me neutralize my path and not kick the club way out was to put my feet completely together and swing with ONLY your arms, keeping the left shoulder from spinning out behind you. Gets the arms and hands more synced feeling. With that club path and leaving the clubhead stuck behind you in your swing youll be slicing forever. Feet together also helps to keep you behind the ball on driver and not leverage forward and swing down on it. Again im not a pro but just watched your vid and your swing is so similar to how mine was.

[@debrajohnson4689]

I agree

[@Wilksey75]

Its nice to see some puzzles pieces coming together in your head after a session and the bigger picture being filled in gradually, looking forward to seeing you complete the whole puzzle🤞🏻

[@josephescalante3147]

I have been struggling with the driver myself. This is great advice! I will definitely implement some of these drills into my practice sessions. Golf is a very humbling game, try not to get discouraged in your journey.

[@fske1]

More driver videos please, with Chris.

[@JeromeRufin]

Oh don’t worry there will be an excess of those given how bad I am with driver lol

[@idowrk8682]

Super underrated channel. Keep it up

[@windicitiboy331]

This is gold... If you are trying this for the first time, you will hit the ground way behind the ball. Trust me... keep practicing the same way, you are doing it right. I would add to this lesson to remember you hit "UP" the driver. As he said, exaggerate is the key..

[@PlaneNurd]

Personally I would have stayed with Mike as I thought he was a brilliant coach. Maybe the cost was a factor in choosing your next coach? Jerome I can perfectly understand that this journey is very expensive. Good luck with your new coach Chris.

[@swardmusic]

Yep good stuff. The head forward stuff was killing me. Recently fixed with my coach too. Love the pull fades!! Thats what the bombers like to hit like Kyle beserkshire 😜👍🏻

[@theboombapp6351]

Def need Chris's help. My woods are the worst part of my game. I think I have it then all goes to hell. I never feel like I have enough spac and I guess I need to get over the feeling that if I turn more, I will slice more when in fact, me turning less is WHY I am losing more to the right.

[@lukebickerstaff7383]

This coach is awesome

[@JeffreyGLutz]

Great lesson!

[@shawnmclaughlin7418]

I'm gonna be an armchair coach for a second the only thing I see that you're doing wrong your nerves you've got to calm down a little more every time you make a shot you're beating yourself up you don't beat yourself up you just keep learning and learning and learning from every shot and make little changes every time until you get it straight and then you hold on to the memory.

[@Vincenttung14]

I can't wait!! I'm having the exact same issue. Was hoping for this from the last video but I see u like cliff hangers LOL

[@chadfarmer1556]

It sure would be nice to have a golf pro coach like this close to where I live.

[@TRELL3132]

Automatically I’ve noticed I’m not tilting enough and I have a deep in my down swing and I shouldn’t. I’m ready to go try these tips out now

[@dondebolt3566]

Can you briefly explain “Fast Slow Slow Fast”? Is this a tempo thing in the swing or a series of swing rehearsals at different tempos?

[@brianhumphrey8494]

I would like to see this too. It’s mentioned several times in the video but not shown what it means and how to do it.

[@autman]

What did he put on the driver face to figure out where he was hitting? Was that some sort of tape?

[@JoseAlvarado-zd3eh]

I would look at mrshorthgame’s channel he’s one of the best I’ve seen at explaining what to do in a simple way to fix a slice. I’ve been a major slicer and can finally hit em straight. From this video it looked like the face was way open on your takeaway and at impact(your emblem on your glove pointing up instead of at the target).

[@musikfranc]

Great coach

[@keggythefishingnoob1875]

Dude! What a video.

[@deuceaces8114]

This coach is much better than your first one you had a few weeks back. No wonder you went to someone else, the first guy was not a good coach at all, literally telling you to have the strongest grip possible so you dont slice it, even though you kept saying it feels super awkward and weird. You are just gonna hurt yourself swinging in a way you feel uncomfortable.

[@scottlandb6579]

This is why people need a professional golf coach vs a video cause everyone’s swing “issues” are completely different. It’s not a one size fits all answer. I need to drop some cash and train vs watching KZbin and going to range.

[@deadlymantis4210]

NOTHING.....Instantly fixes Driver

[@vincentkingsdale8334]

Yes, this is the type of clickbait BS i can not stand. Everyone has different issues. This small fix may help improve your swing, but it takes a lot of repetition to really ingrain a new motor program

Tuning in for the first time to this channel. Is this Stadium Golf off the 15 in San Diego? Looks like a double eagle basket, bro!

[@RandyTate-t3n]

Wrist was hinged upwards however i believe i heard the instructor say that would work itself out when the plane is correct. All the tour pros are either flat or bowed at impact.

[@TheIrishdonie]

It's the major reason he's still slicing, you can't get the club face consistently closed with a wrist that cupped. Flatten the wrist and he'll close the club face naturally. I'm surprised the coach hasn't spotted it but maybe he's addressing other things first to give him benefit of doubt!

[@trevorhale3107]

He is definitely still working on macro stuff here. Wrist bowing is kind of micro stuff that definetly will help, but I have found after a few hundred correct swings (on plane) often players will naturally start to bow or straighten the lead wrist. Once the setup and macro moves are good, then heading towards the wrist maneuvers can become the focus while all this stuff, setup, path are hopefully 2nd nature. If he can build the foundations right layer by layer it will come together. Keep going Jerome you got this!

[@SuperAsianDude1]

i feel like i've been to this range once. is this the stadium Golf Center in San Diego?

[@wesmcclaskie3442]

I really suck at golf so is it chin to shoulder for all clubs or just the driver ? Thanks

[@zeidn480]

instant results ALWAYS with chris its crazy

[@dominictran2967]

Jerome: I'm really struggling with my driver. I keep topping the ball. Chris: Try this technique. After just two swings, no more tops. Jerome: Man, I can't seem to consistently hit the center of the club face. (unaware of the major accomplishment) DOM : Hey, listen, Jerome. It took me two weeks of self-teaching without a coach to overcome topping the ball. Remember to appreciate small victories along the way and keep working on them.

[@Syzygy77]

I’m learning from scratch with you

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

More de-facto instruction. I have no doubt this instructor is good but he's teaching by getting the student to do something differently that he doesn't understand and then hoping that he figures out why he needs to do that. Instead if he taught, "why" and changed the thinking of the student, he wouldn't need to teach the "how" that would simply happen and the student will understand. Jerome is under the misconception that if he moves everything really quickly all at the same time the ball will go far. That's not how a golf swing works but because he believes that he constantly tries to do it. He has a few other misconceptions too ... like, the ball is on the ground so you have to swing "down" at it.

[@mysticalbeing8943]

thats literally how the golf swing works "if he moves everything really quickly all at the same time" and u do have to swing down on a golf ball unless ur hitting driver what do u mean

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

@@mysticalbeing8943 Watch a professional swing. Each part of the body moves independently and in succession starting from the bottom and moving upward. Everything does not move at the same time. Each part of the body transfers its energy to the next part and it's multiplied until finally reaching the clubhead. When everything moves together there's no energy transfer or multiplication of energy. When you see a player that has "effortless power," they're really good at moving each part separately so they make it look easy. What this guy's doing is essentially a giant putting motion and not a true golf swing. As far as "hitting down on the ball," if we stood upright and vertical we would have to swing down at it but we bend and tilt toward the ball which essentially raises the ball up to chest height or 90º to the spine so therefore in reality we're swinging level and flat much as people imagine a baseball swing works. His early extension problems stem from having to force the clubhead down which he has to leverage downward with his body which pushes his pelvis forward into early extension. I have a bunch of videos about this stuff on my channel if you choose to check it out.

[@neilmcquillan843]

Nice Jerome, you had a pop up issue, which has been addressed, the coach kept it simple, which helps, once you practiced that he’ll move you onto the next step, I agree I liked some other coaches, but respect your at this coach right now for one reason or another, although there are generally many things that can be fixed, it’s also unhelpful when you get too much info as it can make things worse. Keep up the good work, u def getting better much faster than the avg person, and as your athletic and committed, I’m sure you’ll be getting better faster and faster 👍

[@Klumzy_Ninja]

What tape are you using on the face of the club? is it just a regular tape or something specific for golf?

brother, go with the draw when your confident with it and it the fade as your go to driver shot. if you can constantly hit the fade and you know where it’s going then just rip it. if the swing is feeling good go for the draw

[@louislazarus9253]

Hey coach, at 5:18 he's got his shaft pointing way right and that's where the ball is going to go. The shaft should be much more parallel to the target line at this point in the downswing. However, please don't take my word for it. We all have our own ideas about the golf swing.

[@tobybarker6808]

The setup is so different from your last coach. I def think there is more than one way to skin a cat, but a lot of coaches like to teach for immediate results where a different way may be harder at first but provides better long term benefits....

[@ward4251]

It appeared to me that his shoulders were slightly open. For years, I’ve hit my irons clean with a slight draw, and sliced my driver every time. Why? The ball is further back in my stance with irons, naturally allowing my shoulders to close at address. I made a solid decision today at the range to MAKE SURE my shoulders were closed at address with the driver. It was uncomfortable at first, but I drew the ball every single time. Wish I would’ve focused on this 10 years ago.

After watching this guy for two months ( not for him, but for the awesome golf coaches...) it's obvious this guy does not really want to study the game of golf. No kid this age can spend his "life savings" living in San Diego and paying $150 + per hour (for multiple golf /exercise/sports psychology experts) to learn and play (9-hole) courses. I'll still watch... for the free pro golf / exercise / sports psychology lessons but... I won't ever believe this dude has spent his "life savings" to do this without some big $$$$ sponsorship. For now. I do appreciate the free advice from the many REAL golf pro instructors you've highlighted though. P.S. Sorry dude... I haven't watched a single second of you actually playing on a course, 9 holes or otherwise....
