One Simple Adjustment for Massive Drives!

Can’t wait to give this a try.

This is my second year golfing at 46. Two days ago my drives carried 200 yards at best. Today I tried this tip and carried quite a few near 250 marker. My drives were also noticeably straighter. Thanks again, subscribed for more golf tips.

Good guidence

Amazing tip 👌

If you are a begiining golfer or older always remember to T the ball up on the fairway

Great video. Same setup for irons?

Good morning Steve
I had the opportunity to change my setup using your technique and I was able to hit the ball longer and straighter thank you

thanks

Too long video, noneed to tell what is not necessssary

This is great Steve, I'm sub'd now and watching. Thx.

Awesome vid with good explanations.! Thank you

Very interesting on body position, during setup for smoother body movement during weight shift ! cool Sir

Thanks for this instruction!

Awesome tip can’t wait to try that way thanks Steve 👍

When I was 18 years old I had a fall that busted my heel and tweeked my back. With the back injury long healed I was left with my right shoulder about 2 inches lower then my left. I always thought it was a disadvantage to my golf swing but after watching your video I am looking at this shoulder as an advantage. I can make this work for me. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thank you sir

Appreciate it

I have attention deficit disorder I can only process 3-4 minutes of explanation.

These people really need to learn from TikTok. 15 mins? Discard. 3 mins max!

Your feet are all over the place

I watched this Video 3 mins in and the guy was still waffling on and it’s a 14min video. Please. My attention span is limited

Too much talking! I got bored!!

Works for me, used the method for a game yesterday all went fairly straight. Most unusual !!

Load of nonsence

Tried your tip yesterday and it made a big difference to my game, 4 makeble birdie putts in 8 holes, got 2. Cant wait to play tonight. Thanks Steve

great Video, it really helped out

Thanks Steve. This makes sense. I'm 64, and have lost a lot of length, although I am still quite strong and supple. I'll give it a go today on the range. I like your idea about a universal swing too. Harry in London,England.

I tried this today, and it didn't work for me at all. I went for the typical right side drop with a slightly wider stance, and instantly started to hit the longest and straightest drives.

Nice!

Could not believe how much extra distance I got with this great tip. Thanks so much for sharing it.

I love how you teach, I had no idea how to use my hands

Is driver club face square at address or slightly open?

Déjà fait

This set up has me a ton thank you. I’m doing just as you said and it’s working great.

8. Higher launch angle

Źzzzzzźzzzzz.......

Brilliant work Steve …

Get to the point!

You could get another 20 yards. Great video !!!!! Super way to place the hips. I started doing it like you, but with both hands on the grip tought (skiping a step). Then I played your swing on slowmo to really see what you did, and I think that you can hit it 2O yards further if you keept the hedge of the left hip as you turn (seeing the same background behind ) rather than sliding your hips to the right as you pick he club up in your back swing. So if you put a line on your left hip, try to keep your left hip on that line through the whole back swing. You would generate way more power and still hit is strait. The consequence of moving the hips makes you have a strait spine at the top of your backswing. If you freeze your swing at the top, your spine is strait. (You can still load up the right side and have weight transfert to the right foot in the back swing without moving the hips right)
Sp there will be two major changes. First you will have more coil a the top of your swing thus the 20 yards extra. but also you back will be less strained. So no heavy lower back feeling if you play 4 days in a row.

hello great tip, will this work for Irons as well????

Show don’t talk halfway through the video and you haven’t hit a ball

Steve, what is your specs on your driver. Looks like a Bang golf head and HOF shaft. Have you tried weaker and lighter shafts for more club head speed? I am 57 and working on long driving. Getting into the 180's mph ball speeds with 45.5" shafts. Working to get to 190 ball speed to be competitive.

Was struggling hitting my driver, could not get any height, The next time I teed it up I made this adjustment and WOW first swing 230 down the middle. Hit driver consistently all day. Great tip and it works.

I will give this a try I have the club head speed and distance without a fitted driver , but I am consistently hitting it straight right or push draw or big draws to compensate.
And I definitely have seen on videos in the past that my shoulders point little left while the feet is square or to the right.
I was wondering if this technique would apply to irons because the irons or on somedays going push draw or straight push and on other days pull draws to compensate for the push.

Going to give this a try, been struggling with distance as of late. I use to carry 250 with my drive. Now it's 212-220.. so frustrating 😫

Moe norman got a tilt he is best driver on history of golf

I just tried ending the T at the hips and he’s right. Sometimes I got great shots like a pro but I’d end up duck-honking quite often. Definitely trying this next time.

One thing I truly thought a lot about and experimented with in the last few weeks is exactly this move you demonstrated in this video. The reason I started doing this is I was slicing all of my drives. I was hitting my other clubs OK but I felt I had to radically change something for my drive so I watched several "Jack Nicklaus "Golf My Way" videos.

Nicklaus stressed the need for just one swing that would work for all clubs so if a new swing was needed, it would be for every club. I used to position the ball in the middle of my stance but Nicklaus said every shot should be aligned with the left heel or slightly further left for a tee shot. Also my feet spacing should get wider as the club gets longer.

When the ball is in the middle of my stance, my shoulders are aligned ALMOST with the target, just very slightly open because my right hand is below my left hand. Except for my driver which is much longer than my other clubs, I could hit straight or with a nice little draw with the ball in that position. But I noticed when I did these things Nicklaus suggested, my shoulders opened way up so they were way left of the target. I was confused about whether that was OK or whether I should do something to close my shoulders.

I went to the driving range and rather than pushing and slicing my drives, I was now pulling them and hooking them. And all my other clubs were messed up also. So now I had a bigger problem.

I had to do something about my open shoulders. One way to do that was exactly as you mentioned but rather than make that move, stand there in that position. Nicklaus stressed the need to be loose and relaxed but the the more I stand there perfectly still in that awkward position, the more tense I am and the more afraid I am to hit it.

So I started doing that move - a little differently but basically the same thing. I start by setting my feet and extending my left arm so the club face is how I want it, just like you do. But I don't like my shoulders being open that much . So before I put my right hand on the club, I put the handle back so its positioned in the middle of my body. This way my shoulders are aligned the way they would be if the ball was in the middle of my feet, the way they used to be.

I let my arms relax and put the tip of the club head between my left foot and the ball, just behind the ball. The club face points well left of the target because the handle is in the middle of my body and the club head is close to my left foot. The bigger the club, the wider my feet are, so the more open the club face. But my shoulders are only slightly open, just like they used to be.

Before I start my backswing , I do the move. I straighten my left arm and move the handle to the left to push the club head forward and square it with the ball. At the exact same time, I turn my right knee in and drop my right shoulder so my head does not move forward (I am not seeing a moving ball). This keeps my shoulders aligned exactly the same as before I made the move - just slightly open. I think this move is basically the same re

I am now smashing my drives into the middle of the net at the driving range whereas before I have never been able to even reach the net on the fly AND my drives are going straight.

So you are right about all this, thank you!.

I am also doing this move on every club because I followed Nicklaus's advise about positioning the ball off my left heel on every shot. It's the same move but it is a bigger for bigger clubs. With a little pitch shot, my feet are very close together so there is no move at all.

Is there a different set up for hybrid & iron play? Is there a video covering this?

Up there with David Bedwetter!!!
