Hitting up on the ball
Let’s get to the crux of what this guy was talking about, and how you can add significant distance to your drives (and the 20 yards I promised in the title).

The concept this player was talking about is angle of attack. If you haven’t heard of that phrase, it has become a sexy term in the instruction world with the advent of radar technology like Trackman and Foresight (which can measure it). There are plenty of other articles out there talking about this concept, and many consider it to be the Holy Grail of hitting your drives as far as possible.

Angle of attack is defined as the vertical direction of the club head’s geometric movement at maximum compression of the golf ball.

You can see in this picture that it’s essentially how steep or shallow your club is approaching the ball at impact.

increase angle of attack

The driver is the only club in the bag that you make a full swing with that you actually should strive for a more neutral, or positive angle of attack. That’s exactly what the guy was telling me about that day when he said to “hit up on the ball.” Many great drivers of the ball have understood this concept for a long time through trial and error, and recently the data from launch monitors have backed up just how important this is for maximizing your distance.

Take a look at this graph from Trackman. It’s shocking how much distance a player could potentially gain by moving from a negative to positive angle of attack with their driver.

hit driver farther

You can see a player with a 95mph swing could go from hitting drives that carry 207 yards all the way up to 231 yards by significantly increasing their angle of attack. That’s a tremendous amount of distance to gain without increasing swing speed.

Tee the ball higher
Move the ball closer to your lead foot (just inside the heel)
Lower your trail shoulder so your spine angle is pointing to the sky a little more
Some of these changes may or may not work for your particular swing. There are plenty of other suggestions, but if I mention them I’ll just confuse you more (and that’s not the point of this website).

COMMENT BELOW - WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE NEXT IN A SCRATCH MATCH???

[helenwallace]

After Mr Bs worm killer shot Pats comment - “Don’t know about turn your head, but it turned my stomach” 🤣 OMP sharp as a knife.

[leedavis]

OMP is one of them salt of the earth gents, the way he plays golf at 80 is amazing, come on callaway sort him out pls

[tonydovell]

Hahaha. I almost spit out my coffee when Mr. Barlow explained his scoopy woopy chip. He kept it low because the wind was kicking up! He is a short game genius!!!

[MountaineerMadMan]

I love that Pat don't fool around, no thinking, no worrying, one quick swing and then hit the ball. I think we all could learn from that

[Donald.Gillies]

Love it when OMP has a conversation while taking his shot. Good to see Mr Barlow back.👍🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[victorhamilton]

Loved the tale OMP told. My wife was taking a nap, I woke her up laughing. I needed that.

[keithlittle]

OMP Absolute gent. Don’t make em like that anymore. Mr B shortest backswing on chip shots ever 😂

[papabb]

Boom boom Barlow strikes again. Bring on Gavins. Classic line "Let me show you what you're doing wrong", more Pat stories please!!

[chadode]

"Heavy Ballesteros - Can he get back up?" LMAO. Gold!

[thehammah]

"OMP? Of course I love em, but his putt was outside the circle of love".... GOOD STUFF!

[mickcampbell]

The entertainment value of this channel is definitely,
unrivaled. I love watching OMP playing golf with simplicity and Mr Barlow for the clinics...🤣🤣🤣 . Great work, Liam. 👏👏👏

[CJ-]

OMP talking on the swing always makes me smile. Fair play to Mr Barlow for giving the golf mates what they want to see without fail 😂

[keefy]

If I get to 80, let me be blessed to play golf like OMP! Mr Barlow, top man! Great channel Liam, congrats on 100k "Golf Mates", more than well deserved!

[ebra]

Steve’s attitude is so much better - more of the humour and less of the nastiness. OMP is a living legend - never tire of watching him.

[peterdavis]

Ok, Liam. That has to be one of your funniest videos yet. Can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at a YouTube vid. In fact, I laughed so hard, I unintentionally shot beer out my nose at least three times: Once when Mr. Barlow attempted to explain thinning his pitch shot, again when OMP told the story of the Scotsman asking "would you like me to show you what you're doing wrong?, " and lastly when you asked if "Heavy Ballesteros" needed help getting up after he squatted down to line up his putt. I have to stop drinking beer when I watch your vids. And, yes! More OMP stories. I would love to watch OMP play a full 18 holes and tell us about his greatest memories of playing each hole over the years. I bet he's got a million stories. Well done again!

[scottwest]

Wonderful to see OMP and Mr. Barlow back at it and bantering the whole way - top stuff!!

[johnkitchen]

The boys are Hurray! Best golf channel on YouTube gets even better when OMP and Mr B are playing - and talking!

[hixyhicks]

The foundations of the channel, Omp, Mr Barlow and Liam.Nice to see them both back.

[kimberlj]

So good to see these guys out again. Has Mr B being practicing on the snooker table? So fast along the ground. It works for me, and they all count.
