The BEST Driver Lesson I've Ever Taken

In this week's video, I take you guys to the absolute best driver lesson I have ever taken. Zach teaches me to hit a TRUE hook, one where the path is positive, but the face still closes with loft. The feel that this move provides will help you understand how to avoid the big miss right with your driver.

That’s my life’s work in that video. 9 years in the golf industry, working 7 days a week. Trying to fix regular people with real life golf swing problems. Some may criticize or critique but that’s what I believe to be true and correct in my heart of hearts. At the end of the day it’s all about results and I’m convinced this gets results.

I’ve been a scratch player for years now, and my journey to getting there was exactly what you’re talking about. You MUST experiment with extremes. Take a really weak grip, and hit a low hook. Really strong grip, and hit a high fade. Learn the pull/cut, and the push/fade. Learn the pull draw, and the high push/draw. Experiment with the different extremes of ball position, very upright swing vs very flat swing, see how a low/left finish compares to a high hands finish. You MUST learn how to manipulate face, and path to hit different shots. This is the key to becoming a good player. You’ll eventually figure what shot shape is easiest for you to repeat. I see everybody always practicing the SAME EXACT THING. That’s why they reach a stalling point, and never improve. Just like 99% out there, i started out slicing the ball. I worked on NOT slicing it for way too long, with very little success. It wasn’t until I made myself learn how to hit a push/hook, that I started really figuring things out. I learned how to shallow the club, and swing out at the ball, with a closed face. This is crucial!!! Teaching yourself how to change your swing path, and face is how you learn to play golf. I now set up to every ball, with a specific shot in mind. I eventually learned that trying to hit a straight ball every time only gives you an unpredictable 2-way miss. You can’t play golf this way. I’ve mostly been playing a high draw here lately. However, if that shot starts getting unpredictable, I have no problem going to the cut. I 100% subscribe to this way of teaching. Great job!

That guys a low key golf genius I’ve been watching YouTube golf stuff and slicing for years I think this is the best driver lesson out there by far

[thackblanos]

I'm just coming across this channel and at first site this instructor reminded me of the Geico commercials with the caveman in it😂. This dude is very impressive with his idealogy and methods, I can see myself paying a visit to get lessons from this guy to help in my competitive career.

[johndavidson]

absolutely spot on with that lesson The release for driver is before your rear foot and after that it is to late

[andrewzuk]

Ok, I have watched a TON of videos that, at best, have helped minimal. This video has been a game changer for me. In very minimal practice this has clicked. Last outing I hit 11 of 14 fairways with the driver. ALL were dead straight. My feeling is almost like I am keep my back to ball at contact. Great video!! Thank you. Wish I lived closer to get one on one instructions; very few good instructors out there

[NullHypatheist]

The suggestion to *super* exaggerate while *actually* hitting balls is definitely the best single piece of advice I've been given about golf. Most instructors talk about exaggerating in your living room or during practice swings, but not actually at the range (maybe for fear of injuring other golfers). But as this video demonstrates, what feels like a super exaggeration usually doesn't amount to much in reality.

Last weekend I decided to super-exaggerate a bowed-wrist feel at the range, just to see what happened, and my slice was replaced with 20 extra straight yards.

Looking forward to trying an extremely early release next (have never hit a draw with driver).

Ex baseball player here, and this video single handedly fixed my slice with my driver

I tried this down the range today. 52 years old, usual crappy drive 220 ish 125 ball speed. Found it hard at first but hit a few 240s with 130, and they were going straight. Very interesting theory. Definitely going to practice some more

[bobbymosidi]

Best best tip, thanks guys. What a drill to help maintain loft and launch. Historically I hit a low ball but since trying this I’m launching my drives🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[jefflucas]

There it is! There's an old saying, to fix a slice teach them to hook. (... to fix a hook teach them a new sport... Lol). I'm super excited for you and how quickly you'll start hitting fairways with no doubt confidence. Such a great feeling. Awesome stuff! Great coach.

Hi Ernie, you asked me to tell you how l got on trying this driver move out. Well l finally got out for a round. I live in Scotland and the weather, s horrendous just now. But l managed to get out yesterday and tried and it was absolutely brilliant! Im a senior golfer (mid handicapper). Not only with the driver, but with my fairway woods. I hit a 7 wood into the green with my 3rd shot at a par 5, and it soared throught the air and bounced, dancing round the pin rolling sideways to 5 feet. Incredible. I need more Zac lessons! 😂

[rodrigoserrano]

This makes so much sense on why I'm able to hit my woods better then my driver. I seem to sling earlier with them. This really has helped me understand the dynamics of the swing.

[jimmytring]

I had a breakthrough just watching this. Ernie you’re a great student and Zach is the definition of Mastery.

[jwfriend]

These are great videos men. Had it working for 3 weeks. Went away watched and tried other things. Struggled bad. I’m back baby. LETS GO ERNDOG and COACH!

[JohnDoe-gzwh]

This is one of the best series I’ve seen man thanks for the content

[ThinkingMan]

This is exactly the move I have been trying to work out this past year. Closing the face while keeping the loft. You have to get that head to pass your hands without delofting. Not an easy move but the key to great distance and the end of the fade. So nice to see someone teaching this. It was my logical conclusion but nobody talks about this!

[neckupfitness]

Your coach is awesome....he is talking about "folding" the club, as I understand it. No "lag", but release the club. Good stuff! I've been doing this for about 2 months and it's a game changer.

[georgegao]

late night hidden gem, check... the series helped so much, great work.

[murph]

That genuinely is one of the best driver lessons I’ve seen on how to hit a high draw with a driver.
