Why 90% of Golfers Can't Hit DRIVER STRAIGHT!

[@meandmygolf.]

If you have a friend that is struggling with his driver at the moment and is constantly hooking it or slicing it...Why don't you help them out by sharing this video with them🙌🏌⛳

[@Lee_west76]

Can you share it with yourself 😂

[@gabrielrml]

Do we have to wear those ridiculous trousers too?

[@brandonerdman4160]

I need a lesson lol I tend to hit the ball straight,but most of the time its a push,so i aim further left like 20 yards left with the driver,but in all fairness i hit it a long ways..anyways,sometimes if i hit it off the toe it turns into a hook which gets me in trouble,have no idea what im doing wrong..i am a truck driver,i would drive to wherever you guys are and pay for a lesson

[@alexhookings3891]

How much is a lesson with you guys? And where are you based?

[@Heritage2012]

I’m not even sure if this video can help my buddy 😂😂

[@Parmesan300]

I have implemented the feet together driver drill. It’s amazing how far you can hit it like that with good effort and intent.

[@pistonburner6448]

I'm even more advanced: I drive with my feet crossed

[@danpotts5083]

Thanks!

You're welcome Dan. Appreciate your support my friend

[@zittyrrrs7082]

I've seen loads of people talking about dropping the hands, but I don't recall them tying it in with the left knee. Now it makes more sense. Cheers 🍻

[@MattiasA72]

For years and years I thought I needed to have a short and compact back swing to be able to strike the ball well. The other week, I started trying this (which I got from another video of yours) bigger turn thingy. I really feel the legs and hips working like you demonstrate and the chest turn as well, with all the clubs. Driver is still pretty wild, as I struggle with open face, but with every other club I'm longer and still as consistent, if not more so. I'm over a club longer. Gone from not being sure to reach the green from 150 metres with my 7 iron to being scared that the 8 iron goes too long from that distance. It's also helped my path (when I do it right) and it's not out to in every time anymore. Letting the hips and legs move is integral to me.

[@pistonburner6448]

"This one neat trick"...

[@Quicks792]

How do you avoid whipping the club inside in the takeaway when doing tip 1? Tried it at the range today and I got so much more shallow but was flinging the club inside in the backswing

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

I had that, I made sure the club shaft was down the target line at first parallel with a smooth take away, that worked well.

[@MTPhysio]

Such brilliant advice boys - thanks very much. Can't wait to use these at the range later!

[@meandmygolf.]

Our pleasure. Hope it helps!

[@Superman-ys4ni]

Listen and watch this lesson closely. One of the best descriptions of the cause and effect of driver inconsistency for amateurs. Well explained. If only people would do the drills, the difference in the outcome would be immeasurable. Well don M&MG.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks. Glad you liked it👍🏻

[@rtfcomputing4614]

Always good reminders at just the right time for my game. Driver has been getting a little lose lately, this should help tighten it down again.

[@meandmygolf.]

Great. Hope this helps.

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

What I love about the feeling of moving the arms straight down on the first move of the down swing, is that it seems to get the lead shoulder moving round and up, which in turn helps me nicely hit up on the ball.

[@allensignaturetreeservices]

Without a doubt, this is 100% the best tutorial on how to clean up and become more consistent with your driver. This lesson can and should be used as a baseline for irons as well. With irons, move the ball back in your stance to compress the ball and you'll be amazed with how much more feel you get from your irons.

I watched hundreds of golf videos on tube. This 1 is top 5 on driver.

[@tsolomonliu]

Concur. Well done. I was already doing the feet together drill. At the driving range, I start practicing driver with a progression of feet together, feet one driver head apart, 2 driver heads apart, 2.5 driver heads apart, turn lead foot 45 degrees open, turn trail foot 30 degrees open, then finally move trail foot back 2 inches into regular stance for actual full drives.

Great video. The feet together makes so much sense. Big game Monday, better go practise

[@meandmygolf.]

[@stefanvogels7140]

what I feel helped a lot of golfers aswell is pushing back the right shoulder opening their shoulder line towards the target... just as a extra tip swell

[@mikecooke2357]

Hi guys any advice for someone who struggles with rotation due to lower back problems on the right side. Feel like i have to use a ' sawn off ' swing !

[@meandmygolf.]

Definitely a good thing to do if you are limited.

[@gns4838]

Can you guys do one on stance. Had a lesson and he had me stand so close I had to choke up. It was uncomfortable and won’t be doing another lesson with him.

[@tor-Norge]

For a relative new golfer, making a couple of practice swings to feel loose is good, then when addressing the ball, do a couple backswing checks to ball impact position to make sure face is square

[@bradwilks8069]

I have a question just want to know if you have any drills for an open club face but for someone who doesn’t swing over the top ? That’s what I’ve been doing when watching my videos of my swing back

[@bradwilks8069]

A drill if you don’t have a bag to do the bag drill that is

[@meandmygolf.]

Start with the grip Brad and then the table away. You have to see if you can fit the open club face as early as possible in the swing. You need to identify what is causing it.

[@edbowers7455]

you got a lot of coverage on your logo thanks to Aaron Rai and his excellent play this past weekend in Detroit, great job

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes Ed. We have coached him since he was 11. Great to see him at the top of the leaderboard

[@matthewdavis3421]

It has come to my attention that I do not rotate throughout the shot correctly. Thinking back, none of my coaches in baseball or tennis have ever told me what I'm doing wrong, and I've never been coached in golf. I'd appreciate it if you guys could talk a bit about what the lower body is supposed to feel like during various shots with concepts to try for during contact and the follow through. Stuff like when the hips should square up during downswing, how they should release during follow through, is it a constant speed rotation of the hips or more of a release during the first or second half of the downswing. Should I feel like my ankles are twisting during the load or end of the swing, or is the balance shifted from the soles to the sides of the feet at either end? I'd appreciate any clarification on this stuff, even if it's added piecemeal sprinkled through various other videos.

[@gavinblack450]

“Creating the space”…..so true, so many golfers just have nowhere to go after the backswing.

[@TD-qi2rw]

Excellent and very consistent instruction. Very cool !!!

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks. Hope this is useful to you.

[@jdray_4]

I hit a driver at the range today the head flew off…….. i used another driver and same thing so embarassed. I might give up on golf

[@Podchynok]

I broke drivers, still golfing. Embarrassment is part of learning, we think if we adults we must be good at everything immediately. Enjoy the game, there are always be bad shots… just like the rest of us.

[@NM-pl1iv]

I’ve been playing self taught bad golf for 21 years, taking golf lesson for the first time this year. I broke two drivers heads in two months first time in 21 years I’ve broken a club. I’ve been buying cheap old drivers to practice with but realized that I was hitting the ball on the heel pretty much a shank. I haven’t let it discourage me rather using the info to correct that heel strike. Keep up playing and honestly practicing at least a few times a week helps, I try to hit 25 balls in my backyard every few days, practice doesn’t need to be hours a day to make improvements, I’m not trying make the tour just enjoy golf a little more.

[@jakobsime4190]

same im on my third driver now

[@PerryShriver]

good stuff.👍

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

Another great tip for golfers with limited flexibility is to lift the left heel in the backswing and push it back down in the transition. Many top golfers did this.

[@sliealwhufc]

Is it weird I can hit driver for fun 270 yards playing straight - draw - fade - cut but, woeful with my long irons and putter?

[@meandmygolf.]

What is the issue with the long irons?

[@sliealwhufc]

@@meandmygolf. thank you by the way for all the excellent content and love the glove!! I often get narrow after takeaway then push the ball left and chunky - feels as if I am stabbing the ball and won’t hit beyond 170 yards even with 5 iron! I’m a right handed person who plays left handed (former tennis player) - to close to ball at set up with closed hips or pulling with the lead hand to start downswing is what I believe could be the issue🫣

I use 2 hybrids at the moment in replacement

[@NYgolfguy]

Golf is a rotational power sport. If you struggle with rotation, you're going to struggle with golf. Improve how you move, play golf better.

[@aaronnohren]

But what if I do all that bad stuff, but instead of a slice, I duck hook it.

[@meandmygolf.]

The club face is closed. You need to identify why and where that is. Check the grip first.

[@thecount1001]

i would subscribe, the pants, oh the pants, they just don't allow me to.

[@mesillahills]

While you are certainly welcome to your opinions, there are others that say none of what you show is true. Golf Magazine about 1992 did an extensive article on all this in a three part series. They used 200 touring pros and 400 amateurs, computers, harnesses, and very good artists to identify the differences. And they were dramatic. But is a nutshell touring pros turn away in a very level and connected plane. They do not free up their lower bodies like Greg Norman showed. Arms and shoulder only go along for the ride in what is a very level and "connected" swing. And keeping your head still is actually the kiss of death. They use lots of head movement to load up and clear things out of the way. I used it to turn myself back into a scratch player after I was about to quit the game in my 50's. You become unbelievably straight because this swing takes out almost all of the timing. It is also right in line with a lot of what Nicklaus advocated. Not all but a lot. Level body turn is what drivees the swing. Shoulder and arm are passive followers. Shoulders hardly dip at all. The left hip is closer to the target at the top of the swing than at address. This is what they do. And talented artists showed their swing and the average swing. I sure saw myself as average and I did not like what I saw. I was one of those still head guys that swung with my arms and shoulders.. Yuk.
