60+ YARDS GAINED // Fix 3 Major Driving Mistakes and Unlock Massive Gains Today

[@lukering1952]

I had Ball position further back for years and negative AOA, made changes a few years ago and it's the strongest part of my game now. The right elbow is a golden nugget 👌

[@jsstrawder]

GREAT VIDEO, 6:00 in is dead on my problem the last couple years. I’ve been working with someone to get an upward angle of attack and when I get it right it’s 40-50 yards better. Seeing people on KZbin have less ball speed and tons more distance made me realize I was just going about it wrong. 175 ball speed with 265 carry isn’t where it’s at lol.

[@joestarr4392]

Great golf lesson! Probably every teacher I’ve ever had promotes this AOA but I’ve been stubborn. This demonstration is very convincing. Thanks.

[@FrankHammer-i1j]

Gentlemen, first time ever commenting on a video. Thank you so much for this one. I always forget to adjust my upper body behind the ball during my driver set up. Watched this yesterday and played a round afterwards. Drove the ball phenomenally. Really appreciate the content.

[@Gafgarion852]

I love when Ian says "watch me hit a terrible shot..." then proceeds to hit a shot I'd kill for.

[@scottstewart3954]

I’d take ANY of his driver hits on this channel 😜 literally wud love to have his driver game

[@usmc6542]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing

[@jameslaughter5183]

One of the best, if not The Best, videos on distance. I especially appreciated the perspective on the relationship of distance off the tee to handicap. I've neglected driver fundamentals I used to know and, possibly most importantly, forgot to be athletic in the driver swing. I'm old but can still hit an 8 iron 160 but my driver has lost 50 yards. Can't wait to start implementing your fundamentals and to restart training an athletic swing. This video was full of knowledge and inspiration. Thanks !!!

[@patricktraynor7628]

Excellent video. I changed my swing 7 years ago to Moe Normans single plain swing. What you are describing is what I’ve been doing and I’m playing the best golf of my life. I’m now 73 handicap 12.1

[@frazzman80]

Truly appreciate you breaking down these tips and helping those of us who don’t have pro swings to make simple and repeatable changes to help us optimize our distance.

[@jamessexton8589]

All great tips - would love to see an overhead/“player view” of the setup and ball position + tilt. I struggle with knowing how much to exaggerate the feel of these positions. Thanks for the video!

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

Really relevant video to me. Was just fitted for a driver after nearly 80 shots, 24 had a negative Angle of attack. Here are my attack angle stats for the different clubs: Ping G430Max - 40 shots. 15 w/ negative attack angles. only one has an attack angle above 2.8 degrees. Qi10. all 11 shots were positive AoA, but the ball carried 13 yards less than the Ping. Sim2 Max: 1 of 7 with negative AoA. Carried 10 yds less than Ping AI Smoke: 2 of 9 negative AoA. None greater than 2 degree AoA. Carried 15 yds less than Ping. Current gamer 20 year old TM R580 : 6 of 13 negative AoA carried 19 yards less than g430

[@danielkeeley203]

We’re not always in the market for new clubs, but this video is a great example of technique vs. equipment. Thanks

[@stevenmiddleton7175]

I know Mikey hates to do it, but I always like it when we see the results not only from you Ian, but Mike's swing as well. It really reinforces the msg you are trying to show. Keep up the great content.

[@JLong2544]

This is the best video I have seen so far! Ian demonstrated the wrong way and the right way. We love that!

[@barronfinley3062]

Wish y'all were closer. would love you do a driver fitting for me

[@jameslaughter5183]

Strongly agree. Any chance you could tour the USA with a semi truck with a full fitting bay?

@@CanadianBiPolarBear I’d rather hear from you personally than read about your issues in our comments section. If anyone has a poor experience with us at any of our stores I want to hear about it so I can do something about it. Feel free to reach out.

[@CanadianBiPolarBear]

@@ianfrasergolf fair enough Ian i appreciate your response. I will delete my original comment. However for me to reach and and tell you the location and fitter i had the poor experience with could potentially cost another man his job , and i am not going to do that

[@shaynesvenson8628]

One of the best examples you guys have given to date. I'd like to see Mikey try this to see the difference from his perspective.

[@nickl1975]

Great video. Lots of things for me to try in the range as my driving has always been the weakest part of my game. Never struggled for distance but always seemed to be swinging to the max and that led to some lost balls off the tee (always to the right/slice). Would love to see a wedge one of these vids.

[@atamagashock]

I used to be very active with my movement to start my swing. Then I started watching too much KZbin and got away from it. My driver lost so much, but I thought if I worked on creating the text book swing, I’d get it back and more. It actually led me to hurting my back. I just went back to staying looser and starting my swing with motion and really stepping into my downswing. Instantly starting hitting it farther and straighter.

[@MB-xx6xc]

This is one of the most interesting and actual applicable golf video in you tube.... Saving to go get fitted by your team !

[@Kevin-yh6dn]

My Liege and Sir Mikey, Riding out this hurricane down south and this kept me occupied for sure! Hope the range dries out soon so I can get some licks in. Great video as always. I learned a lot especially about angles of attack and spin rates. Thank you 🙏

[@hoganfan2006]

Brilliant. The explanation was not wasted on me. Will rewatch this again and again to internalize the information. Thanks guys!

[@mikecoughlin4128]

This was one of the most helpful of your videos I’ve seen personally. The stick across the elbows both for angle of attack and aim point in particular I know will help. My AoA is often 20+ so I need to bring it down a bit, lol.

[@Golf-R00LS-73]

Facinating video lads, love it 🙂 I think we are all constantly battling how we should stand & address the ball as well as ball position. I am really focusing on what Ian talked about in the beginning, dropping the right shoulder and keeping the right elbow a bit lower. I also focus on 'reaching out' with driver to shallow out my swing and encourage the flatter or upward strike. It works for the most part and I'm chuffed, after seeing Ian tell people to do the same, that I worked this out early on. It has helped me achieve higher launch for sure and a wee bit more yardage too. Put it this way, I am hitting the ball the same distance or more on some occasions than I was when i first started playing golf 20yrs ago when I was 31yrs old.

[@raymondsimpson2755]

That was a great video Fraz, thank you. Straight down to the range at St Andrews tomorrow. Cheers

[@kellyharbour7140]

Good stuff. Better than watching a fitting, which we all know you guys have mastered. Keep em coming!

[@GarryBBimmy]

Great video guys - your angle of attack shots with straight shoulders is exactly what I've been doing with the odd long high shot thrown in but not knowing what I did differently. Driving range ASAP for me ! Garry B in Manchester UK

[@slalomdude68]

Probably one of the most informative videos you guys have done. Excellent

[@stevemcgurn]

Already watched this twice. Can’t wait to tweak things at the range. Thanks for the great content!

[@Rickwynne]

Love the video! Easy to get complacent and let shoulders get open and ball position off, erratic tee height. Definitely going to focus on those to encourage good aoa next round. Gotta be why I can hit 321 and nice or 260 and super spinny.

[@inhong74]

Great video. I have struggled with my driver for too long and what I get instructed by my coaches and numerous youtube videos are compressed into simple 3 bullet points in this video. In my struggles i have come to a point where I am exploring into gears and how they might effect my swing for speed and consistency. At the moment I am exploring the counter balance offerings from shafts and grips and butt plugs. Recent launch of Synystr CB shaft has triggered this. I wonder if you guys can do a review of these shafts plus give a more indepth insight to counter balancing your gear. I did see one of your old videos on this topic 5 years ago, but I feel there needs to be a refresh on this topic with the recent manufacturers relative focus on this topic. Cheers and appreciate all the work you do in these interesting topics, I really enjoy everyone of these videos.

[@michaelwilkinson4461]

Great video very informative, will be trying these drills out

[@jonnyappleseed5305]

Another gem of a video. Soooooo good Ian. Thanks for such simple tips that can go a Lonnnnng wayyyyyy.

[@aggadan]

Good data on strikes. Personally love the first point . Suffered fron misalingment when speed increased.

[@dougellio7000]

Much needed video guys, well done. From a personal perspective, I know I'm giving up distance, most probably because I revert to type with my safe swing. It gets short, it's a little bit down but it's safe. Funnily, I was at the range and said right, no pressure get the weight shifting, the club wider, higher and longer and voilà high draws. You know as well as I do, taking that to the course though is all about those 6 inches between the ears. Now that would be an interesting video. How about getting a sports psychologist in the studio?

[@Apeman_Actual]

Great video guys. I love this channel

[@bylertrown]

best driver video ANYBODY has ever made. good work, boys!

[@moosefeeder]

Would love a fundamentals session like this for irons. After a range session I feel confident but once I get out on the course I can quickly lose 20 yards and start cutting the ball more once my body kind of reverts to old habits. Thanks for the vids

[@emmettforde]

Awesome watch guys very informative.

[@jsh_golf]

These tips will come in handy for me on the tee box. Also, 1st!! 🥇

[@sheevakai]

Great video. Awesome tips. Thanks for posting

[@alexanderchung404]

Agreed that Distance is key to lowering the handicap. Was working on this with my coach last month (trying to get to 110 mph Club from 95 mph Club) and looking at Arcoss it says the same thing as well. Need to work on getting the angle of attack better for the driver and the irons (driver still in neg numbers and irons could be shallower)

[@paulm2885]

I suffer from negative aoa and hitting down with driver. I know that but it's hard to change! Working on it but as a result of this my last couple of fits have been ultra stiff low launch shafts and 8 degree heads to reduce spin. Gives the best outcome for a poor swing but I know it's not ideal. Time to work on the swing..... This will help thanks.

[@levi_fishing]

I like the raising the foot at the top of the backswing. I Played baseball my entire life up to college. I think that would drastically help my weight shifting problem. I just need to combine that with no slicey slice and I'd be golden.

[@garnetd7009]

Tried the right elbow tip yesterday what a difference , average driving distance up 12 metres , fairways hit up 7% (50 to 57%) per shotscope

[@WeimaranersAreTheBest]

Hey Thoughts on grip size… I recently went to jumbo max in small Some straighter shots. But I’ve lost distance

[@xTimx2002]

Will the video for Forged vs cast for irons be coming out at all? I think this would be a very good test with mizuno irons. Try to have the same loft/lie specs on both sets.

[@mootrail9487]

I use to wind up like a top, slide all over and hit the ball a mile. After lessons, I feel planted like a statue, all arms and chest. Needless to say, open shoulders, over the top and pull hooks. I've been doing a bit of a Happy Gilmore warm up swing, feels fast and awesome. Too bad the statue stance reappears when I have to hit the ball.

[@TBD271]

Fraz, what kind of shoes are those?

[@jaycarpenter5474]

I was taught that a good starting point for Driver is approx. 1/2 the ball above the crown of your driver then adjust up or down to get the ball flight/distance you desire.

[@christopherlumpkin8179]

He's right i added 50yds of Carry from 205 to 255 almost instantly hitting up on the ball. Only be playing 3 months now. And now I'm Carrying 275yds.

[@nathaniverson6828]

Why would anyone doubt speed and handicap. I play with a bunch of legit fast guys. 175-205 range for bs. I float in the 150 range. And while I play off low single digit. And have a decent short game that group of players will beat me by at least 3 strokes and up to 10. The difference is not off the tee in penalties or up and downs or total putts the difference is proximity to hole on second shots. Not even hit greens just proximity. Speed allows for that.

[@paulmarsden7736]

I would love a lesson, do you ever come to the UK?

[@RyanGregnol]

Great video gents!

[@tian0909]

Thanks for the video. I tried really hard to swing from inside and hitting up, but somehow it feels very uncomfortable(kind of stuck and no space for my hand to pass through). Guess I just need more practices and some flexibility workout to get used to it.

[@williameoff4201]

Best. Video. Ever!

[@mikejohnston80]

What are those tees called? I would like to buy a set to understand my swing and how fixed heights can adjust things.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Bir-tees

[@dsc-nr5zy]

Careful with Dr Scholls on the carbon face TM drivers...it has some crazy reaction and is super hard to clean. I find it barely even leaves an impression from the ball. It's like the lacquer on the face is causing the spray to not stick correctly - at least in my experience.

[@djmico0713]

How can you explain the difference between launch monitor numbers and real world? I have similar club data (attack angle, launch, spin) with more speed (about 115 club and around 165-170 ball speed) but I don’t hit it as far as Ian is hitting in the video. On Trackman, I average about 275 carry and just about 300 total, but on course my total drives are like 280 max. Same with irons where I don’t see the same distance on the course as I do on the monitor. Is that a me problem and I need a lesson/fitting or is that a launch monitor estimation just being a bit off?

[@22danwhite]

Cabot Citrus swag! Where are these guys located?

[@TTT-Turbo]

I have too much hip and shoulder turn and my pro is trying to wind me back to make it more compact so I gain more accuracy. Because the amount of turn I have means I overswing and can't get back to the ball in the correct sequence. Timing goes and loose a chunk of distance because the spin is up. Now, I'm trying to shorten everything and hit up on it. I was hitting it like an iron shot sometimes and body gets in front of the ball and flare it right and weak. Just horrible.

[@daleg7425]

well done I have a pro friend that showed me the same thing.

[@rogerthat24]

And relax your arms and wrists... makes a big difference!

[@damianleimenstoll1350]

If strike point is low, move it back in stance and if strike point is too high moving it up in stance?

[@georgejung5429]

Correct. Remember the swing is on an arc, close your eyes, see that motion & execute. Golf’s a mental game, nothing else. ⬆️ 🤯

[@chrisjackson1266]

I sometimes hit this ridiculous "turbo hook" where the ball launches screamin fast, but doesn't get much more than 10 or 12 feet off the ground and dives hard left. WIsh I knew why it happens, because then I could stop doing it.

[@lambamthankyoumaam]

Right hand taking over, maybe feel elbows closer together during transition

[@211squirrel]

I’m shocked by how many of my friends have drivers that spin up like crazy, and can’t figure out why I’m 30-50 yards longer than they are. AND they make fun of me teeing it up high!!!

[@SvingitGolf]

Next step is to build it longer. 46+ inch to get more speed.

[@murp0443]

Good stuff. But I don’t think “anyone watching” would be the happiest person in the world if they could hit a driver 10 yards further. Standard deviation of drives is probably way wider than 10 yards. It would go mostly un noticed.

[@kevinconnolly754]

Figured this out three weeks ago at the range messing around. Struggling to hit 250 metre carry at -1 AoA Changed my tilt angle and hit 5° up and WOW WOW WOW. the last 3 weeks on the course has been an absolute bucket load of 😁 . Driving par 4s has become a realistic thing.
