I have a very bad habit of pulling the club back very flat, and then coming back to the ball even flatter! Causes either big chunks, straight pushes, or push slices, with the occasional straight or draw if my hands catch up…This has been the result of practicing in a garage with a very low ceiling for over a year, creating that very flat swing…been working on exactly what you’ve put out here. Still feels soooooo weird like I’m completely going to come over the top…but it’s working so far. Thanks!

[@rabbie200]

Strangely, your tip actually helped me with my duck hook or strong hook. I had listened to your other tips for getting more length for a senior golfer, but kept drawing the ball a lot, now it is far more straighter and just as long with this tip. Thank you.

[@sscully67]

Great tip for a quiet takeaway. Can you do a video on releasing the driver through impact?

[@mattwilliams3104]

I’ve been taking lessons for the past few months and my teacher builds from the backswing as he says the downswing is a product of the backswing and buying into that idea has helped me so much it’s crazy. I would get too inside just like in this video then use my upper body strength to take over from there. Feeling that right side bend (as a righty) is my key feeling in the transition

[@jasonadams4344]

You pretty much nailed my current issues. I’m going to try this! I’m new to your channel, but loving it so far 👍🏻

[@markk171]

For me, my take away swing thought is to turn my right hip first and get my momentum back to the inside of the right heel. I try to make a nice deep hip turn and make sure I keep my spin tilt. I don't really think about the take away with my upper body, lower body first and upper follows... no hands or arms. Also, setup is key to get things started...don't pull the trigger until the setup feels correct. Thanks for the videos!

[@rhull3939]

I find the easiest way for me to have a neutral club path is to feel like I pause a bit at the top of the backswing and then make sure I keep my rear elbow relatively tight to my body. Everytime I slice the ball I can tell my back elbow did the chicken wing and I had an out to in path. Drop the hands at the top and keep the elbows close and bam, 270-300 straight almost every time. Maybe a slight fade.

[@chrisc314]

Like the idea of pausing at the top to allow the hands to drop slightly into the down swing and help with swing sequence

[@matts.689]

Watched this video earlier today, applied technique, and played well this evening. Thanks, Ali!

[@macsultani1490]

Perfect tip, think I do the 1st 5 swings, can’t wait to try it 👍

[@rogerh7709]

Super videos; they really improved my distance and consistency with driver off the tee.

[@rickcudmore8156]

This was my problem on Friday's round, opening the clubface on the backswing, but couldn't correct it. Going to the range tomorrow and working on this. Great video.

[@terryweller2412]

Good video, Ali. Short, informative and useful. Thanks.

[@mikepxg6406]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@2362jay]

With what you have just shown us, with that swing path will we be hitting the ball more in the center of the club face? Because when I hit 10 balls maybe 2 will be in the center of the club face and 3 could be off toe and 3 will be off the heel and 2 or 3 could be high off the face of the club.

[@michaelstaudt4940]

Hi, Ali ! great video ............ I think have this swing fault especially when I get tired on the GC. Great tip - great video Mike (second account ;-)

[@CreeperJunior]

Fantastic video. Really improved my consistency and direction

[@AliTaylorGolf]

Great to hear!

[@matts.689]

So true!

[@legend9018]

Excellent

[@gregory-iq4hy]

I use a strong grip, can I change to a neutral with this type of swing???

[@chrisc314]

Lots to think about, wonder if anyone else sets up with the driver and has the same lengthy conversation with golf driver as me? Pick a target 1 yard away in line with my aim spot, aim driver face square, set up with hands on grip, nice and neutral, hanging below shoulders, take a goalie stance, nice and balanced, ball on 2-3/4” tee opposite front toe, feet together turn front toe out, step back foot out to shoulder width, turn back foot toe out, pull back foot back to allow turn, start back swing with wide takeaway allow turn by lifting front foot heel maximize back swing width, drop hands slightly at start of downswing, generate controlled power, try to hit up on the ball off the tee……shout to buddies, anyone see where that ***** went? Joking aside I really believe that all of the preceding swing thoughts, practiced on the range to get a natural repetition will help in the end, it’s just my lack of talent that trips me up…. I keep watching AliTaylor for constant reminders and easy to follow drills. Thank you!

[@johng9796]

I am not a TaylorMade player, but that bag from the 2021 PGA Champion at Kiawah is so awesome!

[@jeffreyvictor3678]

You make it look so easy to swing the club differently!

[@jonathanhawkins91]

Lovely video

[@AliTaylorGolf]

Thank you

[@chrisengland1]

I used to hit driver dead straight now I pull straight to left & it’s driving me nuts to fix as clearly I’m squaring club face hitting left - tried moving away from out to in, straightening shoulders, slowing down, ball position, tee height etc weird thing is I can fix on range but not on course! My upper body moves more than lower due to strokes but even when I slow upper to go with lower it won’t work on course but does on range. Used to be my favourite club & now my nemesis as 50/50 if I’ll hit straight or left straight.

[@rhull3939]

Try keeping your elbows tighter to your body on the downswing. Works great for me.

[@CarefreeAus]

Why is it now that I am older I get BY FAR my quickest 1W club head speed with a very quick backswing and transition rather than the long, smooth wind up I learned when younger. I notice a 5-7 mph difference in measured SS (launch monitor) using the differing styles

[@kenkohl2181]

Those shot patterns are necessarily my game, but (in the first four minutes) I have multiple conversations like your narrative 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kenkohl2181]

I also think I may be fanning the club open a bit, as well.

[@arnolfini1434]

222yards I will take that any day!

[@mark6matt]

I’ll try this next time at the driving range, the first 5 hits are exactly what I do ☹️😂

[@garykelly7588]

Yes Mark me too. 😉 Looks like a little extra hip movement helps. Definitely try this when back at the driving range.

[@dmp327]

I thought this would be a 20 second video that began and ended with "they pull it out of the bag"

[@hovdingen73]

Your first drives is how I drive.....

[@Labgorilla]

That tv will be smashed
