[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

thank you, much appreciated ⛳️

[@dawnhillanders6791]

Excellent visual. Thank you! No I understand why I struggled with face control on driver.

[@rickwilliams3515]

So glad this just showed up for me to watch. Def something I am going to set up in the yard and practice/master. Thank you for helping me understand what I am doing wrong!

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

thanks Rick, let me know how you get on

[@josephlai3653]

Really enjoyed the video, thank you very much.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Thanks for the comment - enjoy your golf in 2023

[@echang9477]

Straight to the point and very good visual way to see the face of the club

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Thank you hope it helps

[@timbeaumont4292]

SENSATIONAL! Thanks Natalie. So helpful. I get it now!!

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

thank you Tim

[@valerieclaxton2162]

Amazing. Great tips. I wanna be you when I grow up. I'm so new, get frustrated because I slice so much. Defeated. I will keep trying. Great coaching. Thank you

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Just never give up and you’ll get there!

[@stephengrainger248]

Thanks for another great lesson, Natalie. I really appreciate the thought you put into your lessons. Thanks.

[@mikecooper706]

Absolutely the best visual demonstration I have seen yet on why I consistently slice my driver. What a great inexpensive way to build a tool to use to defeat the most maddening part of my game. Oh yeah, thank you for this video and I hope some day to drive the ball like you did in the video - impressive straight as an arrow.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

hi Mike just seen your comment. think there has been a problem with KZbin and their comments as about 100 have just turned up so apologies for late reply, but thank you 👏👏

[@matthewcritchley1214]

Very informative and easy drill, can't wait to try it. 👍

[@sameerjoshi8283]

Excellent, thanks a lot Natalie ! Great visualization of clubface and path with a simple alignment tool. Will try this out on the range.

[@ronb441]

Natalie you are by far the best instructor I've seen, I wish you were in the USA because, I have so many bad habits that I need hands on instructions, but in the mean time I will practice using the drills

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

thank you!

[@ashiqchowdhury8463]

Excellent video and tip ... definitely will help with my driver! Thank you 😊

[@antoniolin1733]

Great video, thank you very much for excellent tips.

[@steveshelton2444]

Very well explained and easy to follow .trying it tomorrow thank you

[@chrisrajek7958]

Awesome description of what to do for the layman 😉👍

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Thanks Chris

[@edlewis4551]

Just come across your video and thought it was great, actually tried the drill and I'm starting to square my club. I'm definitely subscribing, keep up the great tips

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Great stuff Ed welcome to the team ⛳

[@vdm7472]

Merci démonstration parfaite et explicite , j adore vos explications directement sur le parcours 👋😊

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Merci Valerie

[@allenchu3969]

That was a really great tip and drill! Excellent content. Should fix any open or close face. Thanks Nat!

[@andrewjgordon1372]

Great tips from the vlog 👍 will be working on my takeaway over the coming days...

[@dannylad1600]

Excellent video. Definately addresses a key problem I have in my swing. I will have to try and make myself something similar to your aiming foam stick.

[@SH-DEVI]

Very good explanation

[@wendybrookes1878]

Thanks so much. This is me!! I have an old bad habit of rotating my arms over then extending my wrist in the backswing...Will work on this before I go out tomorrow. Having the slo mo video of your drive really helped. Wish I could hit the ball that far!!! So happy I got a chance to watch this tonight.....

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Thanks Wendy. let me know how you get on ⛳️

[@wendybrookes1878]

SMASH FACTOR GOLF COACHING What a great round I had. Thanks for the great reminder not to roll the hands over in the back swing. Old bad habit had crept back in and it was perfect timing that you did this video. I shot 41 on the front which is the harder 9. I had decided to walk, but the temp was 40 with the humidex so the back 9 was not as good as my energy flagged even with lots of electrolytes and water. Should have ridden. Can only have 3 carts per group right now with Covid so did not want to leave one out. Still very happy with the result...one change can make a huge difference. Crazy game...lol

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Thanks Natalie just awesome

[@kevhulme8595]

You have a great swing , wish I was half as good , great vid thanks .

[@markkindell6365]

Very good just what I needed

[@mwhall]

Nice video, cheers, Mike

[@johndunsmore430]

Excellent video. I struggle with this especially with driver.going to make myself one of these for the range

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

thanks John, let me know how you get on

[@johndunsmore430]

@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING so tried this yesterday. Great visual aid .gave me confidence knowing if i pointed sponge more down i had a square club face.for meit helped more on the downswing as i was opening the face here and didnt realise. Had great results with irons and driver was getting there.but you can definitely feel a more powerful consistent stike.thanks again

[@raymondo007]

Great video 👍

[@raymondo007]

I played today I play off of 12 handicap, but have been struggling with direction for a few weeks. After watching this video I kept this in mind and shot 75 gross, best score I’ve had for over a year. It really helped me visualise club face control and keeping my right shoulder down coming into impact. Thank you very much. For anyone struggling with club face control watch this video the visuals really helped me. No for the next challenge, repeating it when playing my next round.

[@megans7206]

Super video this like. So easy to understand the relationship between club face and impact. Wish I could keep my left foot planted though!

[@joegrdenich3938]

Great tip for understanding club face positioning. The foam trick was like a light bulb turning on. Thanks.

[@francistrimm3867]

brilliant visual way of telling me what I'm doing thank you

[@chestermicek]

Natalie, it looks like you, on the downswing, actually bring the clubhead & shaft under the plane, and then, up. I never thought to do that, but I'll try. I own a Martin Chuck (the gadget man) plane station. It's a wooden block with holes drilled into it. The holes enable a golf student to push an alignment rod into the block and have it set up predictable angles: 30 degrees, 45 degrees, etc. I'm going to deliberately set that rig up so that I must swing below my set up angle in order to hit the ball. I can't wait to see how this, under the plane and up, works out. I own alignment rods, so I can set the fore & aft planes up without too much effort: under the aft plane & over the fore plane. Never heard an instructor say that before, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks, Natalie.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

great, let me know how you get on

[@RoseAussie]

Hi Natalie....love your videos, very helpful. I’m a senior lady golfer, just wondering if you could do a video with some hints for senior golfers and where they can best score as they lose distance as they get older. Cheers, Rose🏌️‍♀️🌹

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Absolutely!!

[@sprintman62]

Thank you. I instantly recognised that I was opening the club face as soon as I commence the back swing. 🎉

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Good luck with the improvements 👍🏻

[@sprintman62]

@SMASH FACTOR GOLF COACHING thanks. I played my first round since seeing your advice and it's already improved my confidence off the tee.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

@@sprintman62 great to hear well done 👏🏻👍🏻

[@DougSchakel]

Where should the butt end of the driver point at address? At the belly button? Above it? Below it? Should the butt end of any club point at the same spot on the body or is it different for short irons as opposed to fairway or rescue clubs? Is it different for a tall person versus a short person?

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

It should point level but just to the left (for a right handed golfer) of your belly button. Ball position will change for different clubs but the butt end will generally always point there irrelevant of height

[@firstreviewer8966]

Well Done! FR

[@AyeCheers]

Cannot wait to try this. A push slice is my killer move. Only happens with driver and maybe once or twice a round. I’ll keep you posted how it goes. Thanks!

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

hi Scott yes please do ⛳️

[@AyeCheers]

@@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING Hi Natalie, I tried this drill earlier. It was the 'dropping of the arms and rotating of hands' from top of downswing that I need to work on. When I do and get it right, then Boom! The slower I swing, the more I can control this. i.e. the speed I take the backswing up, if I start the downswing at the same speed / tempo and then accelerate towards ball, this works well. Maybe I have been 'throwing' the club out or speeding things up at the top which is causing me those horrendous shots far off to the right. Thanks... love this drill. Great to spot the flaw and where exactly in swing it is happening.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

great stuff, keep it up ⛳️

[@Ortoped007]

Nice video. I use a bit of white electrician tape on top section of driver so I can see how open or closed the face is at the hit. Helps a lot. I shall try to tape a short bit of a alig.stick to visualise the direction even better. What du you think on that?

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Yes that's a really good idea, I may steal that 👍😊

[@Ortoped007]

No problem dear. Steal it with pride😊

[@spakuloid]

Great video! Thanks. DO you like a stronger grip with this?

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

it depends on how you move, if your struggling to square the face then a stronger grip will help

[@thebalance6869]

Played today, 70 percent of my drives were both offline right and left...often very heavy offline...like 30+ yards :P I came home really confused about what I'm doing on my drives....I make contact, the ball flies....but never know where too. This is a wonderful video to be watching tonight!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will really focus on this lesson next time on the course. The difficulty right now is most driving ranges are still closed. I enjoy your lessons very much!

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Thank you very much, please let me know your progress. You can always set it up and practice it at home to get the feeling.

[@arthurpreston5947]

Hi Nat, noticed that you have quite a wide stance rather than a narrower one when taking your tee shot a lot of golf teachers say a narrower is better what do you think l would be interested to know what your thoughts are....l have a free voucher for a 4 ball at Rhyl golf club which l am hoping to use soon never played there before so l am looking forward to it looks in great condition...many thanks and stay safe Arthur

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Hi Arthur if you want to generate distance you need a wide stance (it’s all to do with force and pressure and it increases your moment arm but I won’t bore you with the science on this 😊) If you want to hit it long widen your feet, up to 60cms. enjoy your round at Rhyl, please let me know how you get on. thursdays video is the mammoth par 5 at Rhyl so keep a look out. take care

[@nickfewings28]

Driving is the nemesis of my game. Tending to push right, but then hit straight. I notice you have the ball almost outside of your left foot. The further forward in my stance the ball is the more I feel I scoop it and I get height but no length.

[@lovetogolf4184]

Great lesson Natalie!! Thank You Use Sunscreen..:)

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

ha ha I did look a bit red on the intro but it was the heat and not sunburn 😊👍

[@vasonar]

Yes, please use sunscreen. I know from experience

[@thefunkydread62]

I was told to drop your/bow your wrist downwards with drivers,long clubs, shallowing to get the club swinging around your body instead of over the top steep swing.

[@MH-mi6mk]

Is that the latest driver to get beyond 300 yds? Cool ;-)

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Hi, my trusted driver is 16 years old 👍

[@santiagodeponce9390]

Sunscreen?

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

it was the heat that was making me look red, not sunburn thankfully

[@matthewmartin7718]

I wish I could fly my wife to you for a lesson. She keep recording her swing but can’t find the flaws as to why she keep jumping at impact

[@trevorguy57]

Instead of your stick and nail I might try a bit of double sided tape onto the face of my driver and a piece of foam.

[@SMASHFACTORGOLFCOACHING]

Yep good idea. The idea with the flat piece of wood was to get you to see where you would hit the ball off that piece of wood if it connected.

[@m.alpismahadi5796]

too much talking make people fed up to watch. its better to teach direct to the point Pro
