Between this video and my new VLS Maxvert 1 Driver, I am now 50-60 yards longer off the tee. I am now out driving others in my 4-some that used to outdrive me a ton. They are amazed. Thank you, Todd!!!!!!
Excellent, concise summary. Thank you. I will try your tips & hope to gain some yards. You make it look easy, but you have been doing this for quite a few years. I am 79 years old & losing distance rather than driving longer. However , I am still alive & playing golf !! I have found your videos very helpful.
Great to hear, be sure to let us know how it goes Roy! Here are some great driver lessons we did with the Maxvert to help you out: vlsgolf.com/blogs/news/maxvert-driver-mini-series
As always Todd great video and crystal clear instructions , I haven’t played since 1/2/2023 but can’t wait to start playing and hopefully improving Stay well and keep this great content coming
Todd, I thought in an earlier lesson you had stated to close the stance by dropping the trailing foot back slightly. That’s what I’ve been doing. It really helps me establish an in to out path with the club head in order to reduce the tendency to slice. Very good results…for me. Side note…a popular airline broke my driver. I replaced the shaft with a regular flex. Little did I know the other was a high flex. Result is much more solid contact and distance (sample size of one round!). But I’ll heed your advice on hand position, as the trajectory is now lower. Gotta keep hitting fairway finders!
Mike, appreciate the purchase. Great to hear the MaxVert is improving your game. Early feedback has been phenomenal! Not sure I understand you question on the hands? Can you expand? Appreciate the post 👊
Hi Todd, I’m in the middle of a five month lay off at the moment because of a replacement right shoulder joint . Thanks for all the tips which I’m saving up as well as reading the book so I will be ready to go in April !!
Thanks, Coach truly enjoyed this one. As you know driving is my weakness but it's getting better, last week I hit a draw 275 yards, soooooooo in essence I CAN DO IT!!!!!! Tomorrow is no work, no golf game but golf practice and yes driver will be the 2nd to last thing I do. My lesson plan: 1st putting short to middle distance. 2nd chipping 3rd pitching 4th wedge play around the green including sand which I love. 5th limited amount of irons 9, 7, 5. 6th driver, the reason being I want to build my practice confidence 1st to be in the right mindset. 7th finish off with my ultimate favourite mix putting lag and middle distance.
Todd, Tom from Nashville here. Two questions on driver: (1) hover club head vs. rest on turf at address, (2) club head a few inches behind ball at address vs. almost touching ball?
Thanks Todd. I have your book and am struggling with too steep a backswing. Simple question, do I need to shallow on the downswing or should it be a one plane swing. I’m 58, 22 handicap from Liverpool
Good question. Make sure you are letting the trail leg release and getting a full hip turn. It is the hip turn that gives you the "around" and depth you need in the swing. Hope that helps.
From Northeast NJ. The MaxVert driver arrived last night. Before I take it to the local range I am curious if there is any additional swing advice for the MaxVert other than your normal driver technique. Thanks
Thank you for the purchase. Hope you find the MaxVert helpful. Early reports have been fantastic! Suggest using the Vertical Line Swing set up and movement patterns. Do you have my book, The Bad Lie which outlines the system? See here www.badliegolfbook.com/
Took me 6 months, thousands of balls and lessons with a coach to understand what you just explained in this video in 11 minutes. I hope more people in my position 6 months back find this video. That forward press is the DEATH of your driver. Pair it with a huge in to out path and a nice closed club face and watch the duck hook with 227 backspin snap off into the bushes to the left 137 yards away. 😂
Appreciate this post and your kind words. We are here to help our fellow golfers enjoy this great game. If you would like more, check out my book, The Bad Lie where we uncover some real gems on how to improve www.badliegolfbook.com/
You don’t talk down to me, you talk on my level. You also explain everything so well. Always look forward to your instruction.
Really appreciate your post here. It is our goal to help our fellow golfers....we can all learn from each other.
Todd Great video instructions for our drivers. Thanks.
Our pleasure...are you a subscriber?

Comment of the week right there John, thanks for sharing! Happy to hear the Maxvert is performing so well for you!

Alan, love it…79 and still having a passion for the game.
I appreciate your enthusiastic teaching.
Received my driver today. It looks and feels great, I can't wait to try it out. Thank you for the professional way you handled my order.

Best of luck! You got this Roy!

You got this Mike. Excited to see what you can do with the game this spring.
Thanks, Coach truly enjoyed this one.

275 yard draws with driver hardly sounds like a weakness Cordell! 😂
Glad to hear you're enjoying the content, we appreciate the support!
Great info Todd!
Glad it was helpful!
Todd,please let me know the difference between the Driver and the #1 and when I would use each.Thanks
Todd, Tom from Nashville here. Two questions on driver: (1) hover club head vs. rest on turf at address, (2) club head a few inches behind ball at address vs. almost touching ball?
Tom, yes. I like to see the hover of the clubhead for the driver just off the ground and slightly behind the ball.

@@USGOLFTVshow Thanks for the reply & advice. I received The Bad Lie as part of the MaxVert purchase. Looking forward to hitting with it.
Greeting from Fountain Hills AZ. When do you use an L to L swing ? Hope your doing well.
L to L is good for mid range shots.
What do you recommend for best launch angle.
Really depends on clubhead speed. Higher launch for slower speeds. The key is to get a high launch with low spin.
@@USGOLFTVshow age 68 90 mph with driver
I only hit my driver 190. My loft is 12. Would higher loft help? I'm a senior.
12 degrees of loft is typically good. Are you hitting the ball in the center of the face?
What driver do you hit?
Played Titleist for years, however the new MaxVert is solid for slower swing speeds.
Took me 6 months, thousands of balls and lessons with a coach to understand what you just explained in this video in 11 minutes. I hope more people in my position 6 months back find this video.

Great video Todd , I’m a scratch golfer who pushes my drives a lot . Any thing I can try ? 🏌️♀️⛳️👍
Check the clubface at address. Could simply be the face is open at address or early in the takeaway 👍
