Boy do I get this question alot. In this golf lesson I discuss some tips on how to hit the driver. I also explain some reasons golfers have a difficult time swinging the driver.

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

Thanks Ringer. Very timely for me, my driving has gone south lately. Pounding my 3 wood though. Just can't figure out why I feel so loose and confident standing over the ball with my 3 wood in hand, but with driver it's like I'm completely lost!

Great vid. I agree with setting up with the club hovering instead of touch the ground. Popping up with the driver's topside is worse than a shank with the hosel.

Heh.. still says I'm an unknown quantity. I guess having 2 bad reps and 8 good doesn't balance out the way you'd think it does. Thanks though guys. I appreciate that you find the videos helpful.

I feel the exact same way. I feel like I'm swinging a hose. No confidence, no foundation, and I also feel very unbalanced.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
