You will Never Hit Driver Straight OR Long unless you Stop Doing This! [Video]

0:00 | so I’ve just come off a lesson teaching

0:01 | my dad actually how to hit driver a lot

0:03 | longer than he was doing whilst also

0:05 | maintaining his accuracy now we worked

0:08 | on the concept of the Swing Circle which

0:09 | is super super valuable he basically is

0:12 | going to help you to figure out how to

0:14 | make solid contact every time but more

0:16 | importantly when you come through it’s

0:18 | going to help you to figure out how to

0:20 | generate more power and distance without

0:23 | losing accuracy how many times do you

0:26 | try and hit the driver a bit further and

0:27 | then suddenly all goes wrong is that

0:29 | hitting it all over the place you lose

0:30 | your strike what you’re going to see in

0:32 | this video is exactly how you basically

0:34 | do both you increase distance but

0:36 | maintain accuracy now before I get into

0:39 | video look if you’re new to the channels

0:40 | from your first lessons of mine please

0:42 | consider subscribing I release videos

0:43 | just like this one every single week to

0:45 | try and help you improve your game plus

0:47 | you never have to remember a thing I

0:49 | always put a free downloadable practice

0:51 | guide in the description box below so in

0:53 | the first part of this video let me help

0:55 | you hit driver straight and in the

0:57 | second part I’ll show you how you can

0:58 | increase your distance by a single

0:59 | significant amount it’s easier than you

1:01 | think now when you’re playing golf with

1:04 | a drive it’s slightly different than you

1:05 | only do with an iron okay now I didn’t

1:07 | know whether you realize this but

1:09 | whenever you swing a golf club you are

1:11 | creating a circle with that club so as I

1:13 | swing the club back like this and then I

1:15 | swing it down and then I swing it

1:17 | through you’ll notice there’s a circle

1:18 | being created

1:20 | now a circle has a center and a maximum

1:22 | radius now that Center of your circle is

1:25 | directly underneath your lead shoulder

1:28 | where your lead almond Club form a

1:30 | straight line like this that is your

1:32 | center of your circle

1:34 | where that low point is we call it low

1:36 | point in golf where that low point is is

1:38 | very very important now with an IM we

1:41 | catch the ball

1:42 | before the club gets to the lowest point

1:46 | of the circle but with a driver it’s

1:48 | different with the driver we catch the

1:51 | ball actually right at the bottom of

1:54 | that Circle or even when the circle’s

1:57 | actually heading upwards so we actually

1:59 | hit it almost on the way up

2:00 | now to do that with a driver like an

2:03 | iron we position the ball much further

2:05 | forward in our stance opposite our lead

2:07 | heel we still have a bit more weight

2:09 | over on this lead side but what we do is

2:11 | we have a small little kind of side Bend

2:14 | to the away from the target to set that

2:17 | driver swing off okay now from this

2:20 | angle from actually down the line angle

2:22 | you also create a circle and this is a

2:26 | really good angle to see your swing from

2:27 | because this is what I call the accuracy

2:29 | Circle

2:31 | my question to you is is your circle

2:33 | angled in the right way so if you look

2:36 | at mine here

2:37 | when I swing back I create an act back

2:39 | and act through and I also create an arc

2:42 | on the way through this creates a circle

2:43 | on an angle

2:45 | if you slice a golf ball like my dad

2:47 | actually in a recent lesson his Circle

2:50 | was angled too far

2:52 | to the left combine that with an open

2:54 | face and my dad created this big slice

2:57 | in a big loss of distance

2:59 | if you hook the golf ball your circle is

3:01 | more likely to be angled too much over

3:03 | this side okay combine that with a

3:06 | closed face and you’ve got yourself a

3:08 | hook right so the question is and this

3:11 | is where most people find find the

3:13 | problems at the question is ah you set

3:16 | up to produce the circle that you need

3:18 | so let me give you an example this my

3:21 | dad comes for a session and he’s slicing

3:22 | the golf ball his circles angled here

3:25 | what did we do ball position still

3:28 | forwarding his stance but all we did was

3:30 | this I asked him is your body helping

3:32 | you create the circle that you need and

3:35 | it wasn’t his hips his knees and his

3:37 | shoulders were all aiming left of Target

3:40 | what’s that going to create you’ve got

3:42 | it a circle that goes left what did we

3:45 | do I simply got his knees hips and

3:47 | shoulders not straight actually because

3:49 | he needed to exaggerate start off with I

3:51 | actually pushed him extremely here so

3:54 | that if anything we exaggerated it to

3:56 | try and encourage him to do completely

3:57 | opposite to create a circle that went

3:59 | out over this way yeah the results were

4:03 | amazing okay we start hitting much much

4:05 | straighter however he went on the golf

4:08 | course a few days later he said Danny I

4:10 | feel like I’m I’m getting it sometimes

4:12 | but I’m losing distance I’m not getting

4:13 | his fat hit as far as I would do

4:15 | normally so I got him back in the studio

4:16 | I’m going to show you that video at some

4:18 | stage in next week or two got him back

4:20 | in the studio and we worked on this and

4:22 | this is the next element so once you’ve

4:23 | set up to create the circle in the right

4:26 | place body positions in the right place

4:28 | then you do this and this is the first

4:31 | part on how you add power to your drive

4:33 | now what my dad was doing he was

4:36 | creating the circle but he was only

4:37 | creating it just with his hands and his

4:39 | arms what you’ve got to remember is you

4:41 | need help with the power your body’s got

4:44 | to create it now your shoulders also

4:47 | work

4:49 | on a circle

4:50 | like this my dads didn’t in fact this

4:53 | lead shoulder refused so many golfers we

4:55 | didn’t barely move at all so all I did

4:58 | was this I got him I actually put a club

5:00 | down and I got him to movies lead

5:02 | shoulder here down to this position

5:04 | that’s as simple as that does two things

5:07 | if might lead shoulder moves down into

5:09 | this position here what’s it done it’s

5:11 | extending the length I can take this

5:13 | club back and not only that is helping

5:15 | me create a better circle around here if

5:18 | I don’t move the shoulder I’ve got a

5:20 | very tight short swing no power

5:22 | generated so simple as that make sure

5:25 | your shoulders also help and work on a

5:28 | circle get a leech all the working down

5:30 | and across here now I’ve created more

5:33 | energy I’ve still more energy at the top

5:35 | of the Swing now we’ve got extra power

5:37 | that’s all I did with my dad so get

5:40 | yourself set first this is the first

5:41 | step to power get that lead shoulder

5:43 | imagine moving it to here that’s what I

5:46 | did with Dad got him moving it to here

5:48 | extend it create the Circle and I

5:51 | promise you you’ll notice huge more

5:53 | distances just from that one thing

5:56 | alone

5:57 | nice and simple a smooth swing

6:00 | easy as that and look how straight that

6:02 | is you create a consistent Circle you’ll

6:04 | create a consistently straight shot so

6:07 | that was the first Edge get that

6:09 | shoulder working on a circle so that you

6:11 | can increase the length that this arm

6:12 | moves back you’re going to store my

6:14 | energy and hit the ball further so the

6:17 | first part of that really kind of

6:18 | increased our distance but this second

6:20 | part was a game changer so he was now

6:23 | creating this wonderful circle on the

6:26 | way back

6:27 | but he kind of spoiled it a bit on the

6:29 | way through like I see with a lot of

6:31 | golfers he got to impact here and he

6:34 | starved himself of room his elbow

6:35 | started to crumple he got a bit wristy

6:37 | here he just looked awkward what he

6:40 | needed to do is we don’t want to have a

6:42 | tiny Circle this side we want a big

6:44 | circle so we needed this lead almond

6:46 | club which is the radius of your circle

6:48 | to stay intact from there all the way to

6:52 | there so for this lead almond Club

6:54 | almost to stay intact all the way what

6:57 | do you think you’ve got to do with your

6:58 | body

6:59 | well you’ve got to get it look

7:01 | out of the way notice how my body’s

7:04 | extending upwards and almost backwards a

7:06 | little bit in order to provide room for

7:08 | this lead almond Club to kind of stay a

7:10 | lot straighter almost in line my dad

7:12 | wasn’t doing that he which like so many

7:15 | golfers were staying down through impact

7:17 | here there’s no room look so what you do

7:19 | is your arms basically you don’t want to

7:21 | hurt themselves so they kind of crumple

7:23 | up they start to get risky what I want

7:26 | and I told him to do was to look let’s

7:28 | create room dad so I asked him the same

7:30 | question what would you do and he goes

7:32 | he just went straight into it and

7:33 | actually got into extension but I did

7:35 | add one final thing I said Dad yes

7:38 | excuse me I said squeeze your nuts

7:39 | together so when you’re coming through

7:40 | suck your belt buckle underneath you and

7:43 | squeeze those nuts together here on the

7:45 | way through so you’re really kind of

7:46 | adding that kind of space and upward

7:48 | motion here of the body versus staying

7:52 | down now when he did that this is kind

7:55 | of what happened he got himself there he

7:57 | started to work on this and he went

8:00 | ah feels good that feels good but look

8:03 | it doesn’t go as far dummy so you’ve

8:06 | just said I want to hit the ball further

8:09 | but I didn’t hit it further I said no

8:12 | but the strike was good but here’s the

8:14 | thing then

8:15 | the secret to power so once you’ve got

8:17 | that sentence now you know your

8:18 | destination

8:20 | the problem with you did what you’re

8:21 | doing Dad is that you’re trying too hard

8:23 | you’re making it too wooden and you make

8:25 | it too deliberate the golf swing isn’t

8:27 | position orientated the gold swingers is

8:30 | feel where you need to go be deliberate

8:33 | yes but the next thing this is the key I

8:36 | want to re-listen for this the key to

8:38 | distance is finding a rhythm rhythm is

8:42 | distance let me show you power is not

8:45 | this

8:47 | power is a build up

8:49 | of momentum listen to this

8:54 | just keep watching this listen to the

8:57 | sound

9:03 | there’s a build up isn’t there momentum

9:05 | is feeling the Rhythm so I said to Dad

9:08 | right

9:09 | let’s get into a routine with this

9:11 | you want to maintain this radius on the

9:14 | come through the lead animal hits the

9:15 | ball but you don’t don’t put the club

9:17 | there you go you now know where it needs

9:19 | to be roughly you know where the body

9:20 | needs to be now as best as you can don’t

9:22 | be perfect with this let’s start to find

9:25 | a rhythm now and a bit of a I call a

9:28 | snap through impact we’re gonna snap to

9:32 | there and I’ll show some videos of my

9:33 | dad working on this right now literally

9:36 | snapping through impact the difference

9:40 | amazing absolutely amazing and it will

9:42 | be for you too in fact it’s a great

9:44 | lesson for every Club in the bag

9:45 | whenever you’re trying to improve

9:47 | remember don’t put the club in positions

9:49 | yes feel what you need to get but then

9:51 | let it rip so I got him going got him

9:54 | start to do it and then this started to

9:56 | happen

9:59 | suddenly their speed starts to come up

10:01 | we start to hit it back longer

10:04 | straighter that is what I want for you

10:08 | get the circle intact yeah keep that

10:11 | Circle intact when you’re coming through

10:13 | the shot provide room by look your body

10:16 | doesn’t stay in what we call flexion it

10:18 | moves to extension here this is

10:21 | providing room for you to keep the

10:22 | circle beautifully intact on the way

10:24 | through from this angle but also look

10:27 | this angle here is also a wonderful

10:30 | power generator so please look after

10:33 | your circle enjoy the circle get it in

10:36 | the right place and practice and enjoy

10:38 | it and have fun with it okay so I hope

10:40 | you enjoyed this video If you do give it

10:41 | a thumbs up maybe share it with one of

10:42 | your friends and of course look if you’d
