Q: WHATS THE LONGEST DRIVER SHOT YOU HAVE EVER HIT?
If you are NEW to my channel SMASH that subscribe button to stay connected!
Hey Rick, thanks for the advice. My longest drives are around 250-260. I recently read an article that the average drive distance for the casual golfer actually went down to around 218-220 yds so i am pretty happy with my current distance.
So far the longest has been 270 carry, I’ve been playing for a little over a year and your videos have helped tremendously, thank you for all of your videos :-)
335. slight down hill landing zone, hit a high bomb draw right up the center
Another great vid Rick. Think my longest ever was on the Par 5 10th at Roda Golf...2nd shot I hit a 9 iron onto the green. Slightly artificial though, hard fairway and it was blowing a hooley straight down the hole. ;-)
Yeaaaaa well... that’s a negative ghost rider.
After watching this video on Sunday I put it into practice at my club on Monday. By leaning back I achieved an average of 15/20 yards extra distance with 86.7% fairways hit. This meant that I was using shorter irons on 2nd shots which improved accuracy. Managed 38 stable ford points despite 41 putts. Too early to say if this one adjustment was fully responsible but in my mind it was. Thanks Rick!
I watch this video so often whenever I get confused with my driving. So good!
Best pro on the tube..tips are simple and explained well..easy to follow
Rick...i am 50 years old and just started playing golf last year after a significant back surgery....watching your videos has helped me more than you can imagine. Thank you for touching on everything a new golfer needs to know to increase the chances of having fun. Truly appreciated, thank you!
Another good vid Rick.
I'm glad you mentioned how important fitting is. To many of my mates just buy a drivers off shopping sites because the price is right for them, and then take them out on the course, only to end up 2 months later with another one as there's always a problem with the one they had .. shaft whips to much / lofts to low and can't get the ball in the air. The only good thing is the charity shops does well out of them, amount of time they take there clubs in.....
Your guide to the driver has completely changed my golf game…I’m hitting it straighter and further than ever
305 yards dead straight a few months back. With the way I’ve been swinging lately it probably won’t happen again for a while!
284 yards with a nice draw through a tree. Landed 15 yards from the green on a par 4, I was ecstatic!
Thanks Rick, you've totally changed my driving game. Set-up and prep is now allowing me to free up my mind a bit. I'm more of a feel player and this has helped me rein that in prior to stepping up to the ball.
220, and that’s with a generous downhill roll😂
Bob Murphy and that will do nicely 😊👍🏻
Its all good, I used to hit it 230 on a good day, but the last 2 years, my driver distance is 270-280 on a good day
Just joined Formby Hall today. My problem is distance and your Video has solved my problem. Many Thanks
Back into Golf the past 6 months. Was down at c4HC and a lot younger, lots of great content, helping on the range and course. Top man, most enjoyable
Great video! My longest was 268 downhill. I got fitted for the new Rouge and added 15 yards to my average drive. 👍⛳
Cleared a driving range net at 240 yards out. Decent height net too, I'd guess 16ft high. (240 yards measured from google maps)
Thanks Rick for your videos. Simple and straight to the point. I picked up golfing as a quarantine hobby and love it. Your videos have helped me a lot in my learning process.
i have been trying to fix my drive for some time now and finally figured out how to keep it straight. It was explained to me as throwing a bucket of water. I really need to get clubs that fit me though, im using 30 year old short clubs
About 30 years ago, I hit one 360 and never came close to that again. (I’d be happy with 260 these days.) It was flat, no wind, but the Arizona summer had the fairways rock hard. I got a great kick off the back slope of a bunker and a lot of roll.
After using most of this video's tips, leaning back, teeing the ball tiny bit higher, and the wider stands, I went from 230/240 to a 270/280 avg. Today I played my home course, and I landed in new places for me. Thank you
Like many have said prior to, it's the driver that makes the car go fast. I've got a decent, grooved swing. However, due to long winters here in Canada coupled with health concerns, I don't get the repetitions in to make my swing truly trustworthy. My swing is fairly neutral so when I hooked two consecutive drives and then shoved one way right (just the other day), I have to keep my head and not panic. The next one was right down the middle, 294 with a tiny little draw. When I was years younger, the stars aligned and I knocked one 343. That one was measured by the course staff so I'm sure it was correct. Thanks, Rick, for these great tips. I would add that you might stress a bit more that range/course work will reinforce muscle memory so that they can know where contact is made on the club face.
Your videos on driver have helped me tremendously! In watching this one I realize the one thing I haven't done yet is go get some foot spray and determine where I am hitting the ball on the club face. I definitely know when I hit the sweet spot, but when I don't I am not sure why - standing to close - too far. Hitting down instead of up, etc... Thanks for these great videos!
Can you make a video about how we should move our whole body in our swing to get to most efficient power in the shot also the correct movement we should have in our hips and what should move first within the down swing(club head, shoulders or hips). thanks alot, great work as always👌
I have been playing for 2 weeks now, and yesterday on the range I got my PB 256 yards
Rick great video. I’m a 6 marker who’s major opportunity in my game is lack of distance. Can’t wait to get on the course and utilise your tips. Thanks.
The upper body tilt worked almost immediately, thank you Rick!
Now i can get far over that 300 mark ..
I struggled with my club head speed ... but this video will surely help a lot !!!!
Thanks for awesome video rick
First tips I have used a lot and tee ball up it's goes boom
Can you please do a video comparing driver and iron swings. Keep up the good work!
Great content Rick, your videos have truly helped my golf game this season! Very clear instruction, and the different camera angles are very helpful.
A week ago at age 45 and just starting to play again after taking 15 yrs off, with your tips on removing slice drives, 355yds on a flat straight par 5. Carried about 310-320...soft 8 iron to the green. Longest carry was 340 at the age of 29. It was a wet day and it actually plugged on the landing right next to the 150 yd stick on a slight down hill 490yd par 4. Both shots were with Srixon soft feel balls
Hi Rick. I started golfing for the first time since 1988. I was terrible using the driver, but your video helped quite a bit. I have a question, with a left hip replacement and arthritis in my lower back, I sometimes have difficulty in the backswing (back) and difficulty with the follow through weight shift to the front. Any suggestions?
Love your stuff Rick! Please answer a few questions. 1. If a higher launch angle is desired why tilt your body to hit up with a 9-10.5 degree driver instead of swinging level using a 12 degree driver? 2. Hitting tape on the driver face shows my strike location varies in a straight line from low heel to high toe. The harder I swing the more variation in strike location I get. Any drills to help strike the center more consistently? 3. Too often hitting harder just means the ball flies 20 yards further into the rough, bushes, water, etc. I would gladly give up 20 yards to be on the fairway consistently. Your anti-slice videos are helping but I think I need more details about the following topics. What is the difference between keeping the lead arm straight versus bending the elbow in the back swing? In the back swing the wrists bend to create lag; at what part of the down swing should they unbend. How close to the body should the trail elbow be during the downswing. When I start my down swing and rotate my hips my shoulders also tend to rotate causing me to swing out to in resulting in a slice. What are the shoulders supposed to do and what are drills to help me fix my down swing?
Always love your tips Rick thanks 😊 In this video you spoke briefly about transfer of weight in follow through swing to get club head moving quicker but you didn't say much on how best to transfer weight. Is it with shoulders, hip rotation, finishing position or combination 🤔
Thank you Coach
I hit 325 yards in hole 1 in Hacienda de Chicureo Golf Club in Santiago de Chile, with Callaway Epic Sub Zero, Aldida Rogue Shaft 65 gr., TPx Taylor Made Ball.
I will try this tomorrow thanks
Good stuff Rick, circa 280 with a hard fairway. I average between 200 & 210 hit most fairways though. Got fitted a few years ago it changed everything! Lee Porter at Hylands top man!
Very informative Rick Thank you
Found a video on how to sort your slice out, 100 balls later at the driving range and I’m now hitting left! (The grip on the club was by far the game changer) great channel, love the content! Working on getting the drive straight now, went from shooting an average of 25 over to 20 over just by getting rid of my OOB on my drive!
Oh and also I’m fairly sure I caught that one perfect drive that went about 280!!
300mt - once in New Zealand - 20 years ago tho, not even close now
cheers keep up the videos excellent
It's my second day on the driving range ever. I hit a max of 200 yards. I ranged from 20 yards to 100 most of the time. 125 to 150 here and there and 200 yards 3 times out of 130 balls so far. I'm researching technique furiously atm since I know I'm doing many things wrong. Open face is one of them since I keep hitting to the right... I'm learning a lot in these videos and from other channels too
My longest so far has only been 276 yards out on the course. Only my second season playing though, so I am pretty happy with that one. Thanks for all the great tips Rick! They've definitely helped.
Thanks for the videos Rick, straight to the point and on the money with the information.
I love having a PGA Pro instructor for free. Love your videos Rick.
Love all the videos done by Rick...and Pete. 301 best ever drive
Played Musselburgh Links when I went to the 2002 Open at Muirfield. The 4th hole was playing 410 ish off the yellows on a warm breezy day. Was using a Ping ISI 8.5 degree with a stiff shaft which, considering I was playing off about 20 at the time, was probably not the best purchase I ever made! Creamed it out of the middle of the face, flew about 250 yards with the tail wind and bounded another 100+ down the fairway leaving me a 50 yard pitch to the green :D Needless to say that was the best shot I hit that day and one of the best I've ever hit.
GREAT VID RICK!!!!!
Great information. What is the correct peak height? I say more penetrating flight is better then tee it high and let it fly.
Great tips Rick! I can’t wait to use these tips. I will follow up with results
A shot I never take on my local course because of course management but had to. Needed to get home in two and definitely make birdie, I cleared a ditch that was 280 on the fly, ended up through it pretty good so maybe close to 300 after it quit rolling? Ended up three-putting for bogey, so that was fun!
Hi Rick, I'm very new to golf. I was wondering if you've done a video showing some good stretching or warmup techniques at all? Thanks, really get a lot out of your channel!
very good helped me alot.
Great video Rick, I struggle with my driver big time and can usually hit my 3 wood around the same distance. Lesson is needed!
Great Video Thanks Rick.
Great tips. Cant wait to start practicing them.. Keep it up Rick.
Cheers rick will give it a go!
Great Video Rick!
Great vid Rick
Followed the tips in this video and it was the first time I carried the ball 250+ consistently. Thanks Rick.
Thanks Rick ! Time for quality time at the range ! 🏌️
Fixed my angle of attack and helped tremendously
Great video Rick! I've been watching you for years, thanks for all the wonderful tips and reviews!
Good stuff Rick I have played cricket most of my life it's probably same method hitting midle of the cricket bat
Great tips! Thanks
really helping my driver swing. going to my range this week going to try break 300
Great tips, thanks
I completely agree getting fitted to all your golf clubs is key no doubt!!!
Outstanding channel Rick Outstanding
The issue I have with custom fit is the quality and skill of the fitter. Too often different places suggest different setups leaving me totally confused. I end up trying different options myself to see what 'feels' the best.
As a former golf pro I agree. But with today's computerized technology it is easier to see what is happening so it actually helps the fitter see the results in numbers. Feel is also important especially for confidence. So when you get those numbers maximized with a few clubs then go with the one that feels best!!
Thanks Rick, loved the athletes foot powder sprayed on driver head.
I can’t afford a new driver so haven’t tried being fitted for one. I have a ping g20 twelve degree loft bought for £40 on eBay. I can’t hit a ball much over 200 yards with it but as with all your videos I’ll be off to the range tomorrow convinced you have shown me the missing link in my game
I like the way your right elbow is tucked into your right hip as you come down to hit the ball
Trying to learn to play. Average 240-250 on drives that r slow but straight. Like your videos I have actually learned more from your videos than with some instructors
Great video Rick now off to play Chino Creek Golf Club in Southern California!
I blocked one right and it took a giant bounce on the cart path and went 340 yards
I drove it on to the fringe of a 376 yard par 4. The hole had a flat fairway till about the 300 yard mark and then it was gently downhill to the green. 15-20 mph wind behind.
This will help me. Continue the great videos.
Loved the video - very straight forward.
Love your lessons and I see at least 8 bags of clubs there. I am coming back to golf after a 12 year break and am hitting Ping Eye 2 and a Spalding driver. Surely you have some better clubs than this laying around gathering dust. Still tying to get back in th 90's. Thax, Paul
Thanks Rick
Enjoyed this style of video!
Setup was most useful.
Great stuff RS. I am having trouble with getting back far enough on my backswing. Any suggestions
My biggest issue has been trying to create speed too early causing me to not strike as I should. Thanks for giving me something to work on!!
Love these! 👌🏽
longest was a few weeks ago when i was bouncing midway off the back net of a 250 yard range. dont know the exact distance, but was consistently hitting straight and long.
Need to get to the range and give this a try!! About 250ish has my best so far
great video Rick
Great video really helpful just got back into golf after not playing for 5 years 290 longest drive and could you do a putting video rick really struggling with the putter at minute
nice video Rick, keep up with the good content
295 yards with 15 degree Taylormade burner TP. Let's say anger and a cart path was involved on hole 15 at Rancho Park in Los Angeles.
Cracking pro with no bs! Love it and subscribed
Just got fitted for a driver a few days ago. Great experience
You should review Pinemeadow golf clubs. The PGX offset driver has given me serious confidence off the teebox.
Thank you
This should help heaps. Thanks for making awsome videos 👍👌🏻
Great video Rick! Thank you
Great video Rick. Really need these tips as I’ve struggled with my driver over the last year and it’s absolutely killing my scores. Some of these tips I’ve already known and been able to implement. Others I know but can’t implement as easily. Any tips you can provide for someone who has a tendency to over extend their backswing?
Longest drive is 300+ thanks to firm fairways on a downhill lie. Average is about 240-250 carry with 260+ finish.
Great video Rick! Love the tips and tricks keep it up!!
Great Video Rick as usual. And I watch all your posts.
Do you by any chance use the wrist at impact to increase the clubhead speed ?
Do you use the right hand more than the left (like 60% - 40%) during the swing?
thank you in advance .
Great video Rickshaw
