    Hi Grant, I’m a high school golf coach. I have been learning a lot watching your videos. I’d like to learn how to get the full turn on my follow-through on the driver. You have such a great tempo on your driver and you complete the swing with your hips towards a target and the shoulders turned more to the left. When I hit the driver, I tend to stop my shoulders when I strike the ball and I can’t figure out why. I really enjoy watching your perfect tempo swing. Thanks for doing your channels, Dave.😊

    I watch a lot of golf videos on youtube. Like a lot! Every driver video I watch might work a little bit on the Range but I fall right back into Old Habits a week later. After watching this video I tried it out and was hammering 260 yd drives (carry!) down the middle of the range exactly where I was aiming with consistency!
    I was already doing 80% of what you were saying, but the missing ingredient was loading my weight on the back leg and launching from there on the downswing. Time will tell if this sticks, but it really feels like a Eureka moment for me.
    My goal is to break 80. Every part of my game is there except for off the tee box. My best effort has been 84. Out of bounds kills me

  • @Hunter-zp5hd
    @Hunter-zp5hd 6 місяців тому +29

    One of the most important lessons I get from watching Grant is his tempo. When I’m playing, I think of that tempo. He’s proven to me, that in order to golf your ball, you must have control of your swing. I wish that I wasn’t in my 50s when I learned this. I’d probably have a whole lot less injuries from playing over the years. You can still hit the ball far enough with a controlled, tempo swing. You will hit the sweet spot more often, which in turn, provides the most efficient contact with the ball. If your swing path is good and you hit the ball in the middle of the face, you can’t help but play well.

    A few thoughts for you to consider on this new teaching venture
    - try to get multiple camera angles (eg DTL, and maybe 45 deg vs just face on
    - if you could do a part 2 that discusses what your hands do (eg are they active or quiet) and how do you shallow that would be sweet
    - do some slow mo

    what ive seen when i help alot of people hit their drivers is try to get power from their upper body. When i tell them most of the power comes from the right hip/leg they dont get it . Then i give them a example of a rubber band twisting on its axis. When i started i had a weak driver because i used my upper body for power , but then one coach thought me the secret of leg power in golf, after that i can hit drivers pretty good up to 320 330 when before i barely got 230 240 . Iam glad you showed how to use the leg/hip load , its kinda of a secret many do not know . Great video .

My driver swing still has a ways to go from creating massive slices, but these tips will keep me consistent even before the swing. Thank you sir!

    Great idea from another comment to analyze viewers golf swings. In those videos you could get swing clips for several different clubs.

    The deep trail hip is what so many players miss. I think it’s because everyone teaches positions before body movement these days. If mid to high handicappers knew how much a proper pivot would improve their game in the short term, the training aid market would be cut in half. All that to say, it’s good to hear someone actually mention pivot and the trail hip getting deep and loaded. Good stuff 😎

    @xerodeus2337 6 місяців тому

    I've said this on a lot of YT lessons, there is not a lot of people who talk about the severe push slice (most "slice" driver fixes only talk about coming over the top) - but you can absolutely have an in to out swing path and still hit a massive slice. And I think this problem has more to do with getting stuck with hips at impact (not getting the left hip back and out of the way) and then standing up on impact, causing the hands to be ahead of the clubhead & ball with a wicked open face; despite being very in to out. Anyhow, not a lot of videos talk about how to get that left hit back and out of the way at impact to have a clean release and follow through. I'd love to see tips on that.

    • @michaelwolford6383
      @michaelwolford6383 2 місяці тому

      3 months late but I used to be an outside in slicer then a push slicer after trying to fix it. I did exactly what you are talking about, and it was the last thing I needed to hit everything consistently straight. Instead of complicating things I just told myself to finish the swing with my lower body before my arms. It actually follows through at the same time as my arms, but my brain thinks it's too early because the swing is faster.

  • @undeadh0ps
    @undeadh0ps 5 місяців тому

    Hi Grant, I have a question about drivers (and longer irons tbh) that I'm not sure where else to go. I've been struggling with an Out-to-In club path with longer irons and driver. Shorter irons 7i->PW, I'm pretty good at being able to work in-to-out and out-to-in club paths on demand. But anything longer 5i or 3i and Driver, are still all typically out-to-in.
    My question, is in what is the feeling of what your doing with your hands when hitting a in-to-out path. Are you, from the top of your backswing, rotating and throwing your hands "out" to maybe a 45 degree angle out in front of you? (45 degrees from if 90 degrees was setup location of the ball, which would be off my inside left heel) I feel like I probably pull my hands around my torso/twist rotation. Throwing my hands like that feels weird, but wondering if that's what I'm supposed to be doing?
