Amazing tips!!! can't wait to try out on the range tomorrow, driver as a beginner is the only club I'm struggling with at the moment!!

4:57 Welcome to my world. He still hit it further and considerably straighter than most of my golf swings. Lol

Just got back in to golf after 14 years and have always struggled with my driver until seeing this video. 100% helped me hit my driver and it’s flying. Still fine tuning but WAY better then how I was hitting my driver. Thank you!!

I just watched this video before my last time at the driving range and you had completely explained what I was doing wrong for the past several years. And I understood and corrected it. Thank you very much

Awesome video Chris. I went golfing for my first time yesterday, I really struggled with my drive. Thank you for making this video SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND. So many instructional videos I watch really don't dive into the fundamentals of the swing. They talk about to many technical aspects to understand for a beginner.

This is probably the best how to use a driver video on you tube.

Shallowing the swing arc, keeping the arms lower and straighter, collecting the ball and allowing the club to move in this fashion made a lot sense to me. I’ve turned my strong grip slice with a distance of 150 yards into a neutral grip straight hit of 225 yards.

I did this with a few sessions “collecting” into a net in my garden and 25 balls at the driving range. My driver is now my furthest hitting club.

Best driving lesson ever. My first teacher was a tour player who never explained this takeaway. Thanks

I like the "lead arm fold" that you called in one of your videos, keeping the left elbow down through impact, I worked on it and it really helped me with my driver

[duskinwade]

Great video and tips! I struggle off the tee and this is a great visual of what should be happening with club face. Thank you!

[carlosnavas]

love this video! I come back to it every time I have trouble with my driver. and it pretty much fixes my issues. lately i have been hitting my ball into the ground with my driver - it just started all of a sudden in the middle of a round. so hopefully i can calm myself down and get my driver back on track.

OMG, I just tried this for the first time. I have never hit my driver better in my life. I was standing to wide and bringing the driver around too flat. This immediately corrected my swing, thanks Chris. I only wished I could travel over there for lessons.

[notepadnaeem]

I'd pretty much given up on even using my driver as I couldn't stop slicing it. Tried this approach out on the weekend and hit 3 out of 4 shots perfectly straight and around the 200 yard mark. Massive thanks Chris!

[tristanheckert]

I’m really annoyed i didn’t watch this video 6 months ago when i started playing. I had a terrible slice and was never able to fix it. This video fixed it within 10 shots... and I’m amazed

[jstewart]

From a struggling senior thanks so much. I needed to see the driver basics

[Will_]

Thank you! Im going to the driving range today this helped alot thanks 😊

[joeclay]

Fascinating. I've never been able to hit a driver. Recently me and two friends went to driving range. Id had golf lessons in the past. I was hitting the best shots as I had those lessons in my mind well some of them. Could not master the driver that day. With these I'm in much better place to hit a better driver shot

[fhurley]

Really helpful. New to golf and approaching it in a similar way to an Iron in terms of swing and angle. Looking forward to using this at the range

[gabrielbotsford]

Good stuff, simple and easy to understand, which in turn makes it easy to implement.

[michaelthomas]

I'm a beginner and those were great tips. I would have liked to see a few more demonstrations with the short swing though .

[joshduremdes]

Thank you for this video Chris! I now understand why I can hit my irons well while I struggle with my driver
