Coach! I tried this at the range the other day after battling a slice. I can report back that this absolutely worked! I hit 12 shots. 4 drew left, 6 straight, 2 hint of fade. Before this change I’d hit on average 11 slices! Some 30 yards plus. Amazing!

I recently became aware of centrifugal forces that impact the club head on my swing. I’m actually setting up with my club abut a ball back of the center mark. It has increased my distance massively! Your tip on toe up and grip should help with straightening out my drive. Thank you

[treybenton]

Thought about this before and wondered if the driver toe up at address could cause the bottom to hit the ground and shut down the face at impact (like an iron does). This video helps prove toe slightly up is actually correct and the intended lie at address. Great stuff. Learned/confirmed something today. Go figure. Thanks Coach!

[fccidhm]

Don’t know how many times I’ve tried to hit the ball a little outside center. I think after all these years it now in my DNA to always aim for the center.

[brianmurrieta]

This is no joke. I have been struggling with the driver lately and I must admit I am guilty of positioning the driver handle too high. I went to the range today after viewing this video and I probably hit 17 out of 20 balls beautifully! The dispersion on even my missed shots is so much better I could not believe it. This is my first video that I have seen with Coach Lockey and you now you have a new fan and subscriber. Cheers from Arizona.

Can you maybe do a video for driver setup when you adjust the loft and how that face angle should be set up? One part when the club is de-lofted and the face angle is open and another part where the club is lofted and the face ange is closed, compared to when the driver is set to neutral at the hosel?

[jimkelehan]

Thank you Coach. I didn’t know this. I have always been a flat driver guy. And hit weak drives most of the times. On each round I hit a few drives well, but couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong! Range time coming up!

[josephandrea]

Thank you for this great tip . I’m a persistent slicer and wondered if I adjust my driver to be more upright to encourage toe up in my set up help?

[joeweitman]

Going to try this method. Looks like a very good system to address the ball properly.

[edroken]

Thank you for clarifying this - I have been vexed for quite a while about this issue because I just didn't know. I assumed that the woods should lie flat like the irons - glad to hear that is not so.☺

[nigelgregory]

Tried this today, game changer for me, so simple as your not changing anything about your swing, played 9 holes hit 8 fairways 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[itsdaley]

came across you randomly and what you say here is something I've never thought of so ill definitely be looking at this when I go the driving range next time, although I don't drive the "usual" way I don't "lock" my wrists when I drive, I start twisting my hips bending my wrist the letting my wrist follow in a way that my wrist are on like a delay to the rest of my body, why? I have no idea it just feels right and it helps me hit longer and more importantly straighter drives lol

[Cleffhanger]

Man. I was struggling with my nice ping g430ax driver and i watch your video, i didnt even practice? I measure my tee cup to the middle of the club and use it to hit in the middle. Wow i was smoking that driver straight, for golfers thats the best tip you gave to hit straight drive. Thanks a lot

[rickcudmore]

This makes a lot of sense. As a single plan player, I sometimes have the handle of the driver too upright and as you have demonstrated this results in high poor fade/slice shots.

[ballby]

Hey coach - cheers, this worked a treat - toe up, lower hands - I belted some arrow-straight drives at the range this evening. I am pretty gobsmacked at the results to be quite honest. No need (yet) for a shorter-length driver shaft, which I have seriously been considering. Thanks again for the tip. 10-handicapper fyi.

[olsendm]

Love this tip. I think I tend to have the club too flat. Excited to test this out!!!

[isxwfzo]

Went and did a GCQuad session and my local indoor simulator… and was horrified to see on average a toe down dynamic lie of 5-7 😮. That could explain why my “bomb balls” were only 1 out of 27 😂. I’ve been so concerned with my vertical ground forces and getting a good shoulder tilt that my hands at address are completely neglected. 😂 Tonight, I’m so thankful to be catching up on my Coach vids!… this is defiantly getting incorporated in my next session! #lockeyarmy 🏆

[coalinparkinson]

Try The Claw driver by the Natural Golf Company . Designed exactly for this to toe up position .

[bevmitchell]

I like to float the head at address. But it seems the issue is to make sure the shaft angle is low enough to make the tip up if the head is on the ground. I’ll try correcting for that. Does the distance of the head from the ball make a difference as well? Thanks for this great tip. New subscriber.

[patrickblay]

Thank you very much.
Never heard such a thing and always wondered about it.
I’’ give it a try .
Thanks again
