This has got to be the best tip I've ever seen online. It has transformed my scoring, instead of the gentle hook that featured 3 or 4 times a round I now find the fairway off most drives. Straight and accurate, I don't care about the "hit it further" bit, it's the playing the second shot from the fairway every time that counts. Well done Ali, love this tip.

[capacola]

that took waaaay longer than 2 seconds.

I thought about this today. I remembered Fred Couples once said his teacher got him to set the club almost a foot behind the ball at address to keep him from taking it so outside at the beginning. Helped me so much today! Really straightened my flight out and kept me from slicing too much. Gets the path coming more from the inside. Great tip Ali

[coobay]

OK I just got back from a round of golf and here's my experience. Over the last year I've been concentrating setting up and swinging as he describes with moderate success. Today I did one thing different. At address and reading to swing instead of looking at the ball I focused on looking at the ground 4 inches behind the ball. Results were excellent ball flight and drives were around 25 yards longer. I think for me looking at the ball was subconsciously making me hit the ball slightly on the down swing or hitting with level contact. Glad I watched this video last night.

[jeffmckinnon]

Great video!
Angry at my constant slice, I went to the range, with a bushel of balls. I picked a target that was about 150 yards away, and hit about 50 balls, using a full, but very easy swing. The ball started to go amazingly straight, as distance was not really my goal. I then played a draw, and a fade, and then a bunch more, straight shots, and it got easier and easier. Then I started to put some power behind my shots, until eventually, I started hitting the fence.
It was a beautiful day, and it knocked a lot of strokes off of my scorecard.
The real ball is a lot scarier than a range ball, so I go to the range once in a while and repeat that process. It really builds confidence, and good shots lead to more good shots, always!

I started doing this a couple of months ago before seeing this video and my handicap came down from 3 to 1 in that time (and I'm 66 years old). An absolute game changer for me as I have never hit it so solid. I study Moe Norman and it's right there in plain sight in his address position. This may only be a 2 second tip but it could end years of frustration!

[flinch]

So many people have useless body movements trying to "help" a shot, or the dreaded lower hand death grip that prevents the clubhead from coming through on bottom for best speed. If we trust our setup, a golf ball is just something in the way of a good swing. Really. With that in mind, this is a good video tip.
I can tell you that for me [decades ago] I learned to hit my driver by accident: pulled it out of the bag thinking it was my 3W... and swung it as such, not trying to crutch anything - just a relaxed shot, and the result was "wow". Until that day, I had really struggled.

I am a 77-year-old golfer that has only been playing for about 8 years. I started to use the method about a week ago and it has increased by drivers' distance by about 10+ yards and getting better. It also works if you're hitting your 3 or 5 wood odd that "T" also. Thanks.

[toddwmac]

Been setting up behind the ball ever since I watched Mo Norman drive field goals ball after ball after ball.. Great to see a modern take on a solid approach.

[jasonmoyles]

I just want to thank you so much for this video . I have been playing golf for 4 years, probably 4/5 times a week and the driver had been a huge struggle. Went for lessons and I still couldn’t get the driver to play ball . My usual distance was 200 / 220 on a good day . I started using this method about 2 months ago and my driving has what I can only say is incredible. I hit my longest drive yesterday 262 yards and every drive is so straight it actually frightens me . Again thank you so much. 😊

[georgesealy]

What you describe in this video is EXACTLY what I was doing. I had the ball forward in my stance as I tried to hit up on the ball. However, tee balls often went low and to the left. I felt I was hitting the ball hard, but the ball was going nowhere. I tried harder and harder to hit up on the ball. No success. Yes, at address I had the clubhead right behind the ball just as you said. Making this simple adjustment makes a huge difference. My tee ball is now going straight and it is higher. This is crazy in that such a simple and quick adjustment can have such a major impact. Thanks so much.

[shropshirelad]

This makes total sense to me. I carry my 7 iron 165 yet my drivers are weak slappy cuts which only carry 230 yds tops. I've never got on with long shafted modern drivers but this feels like the way forward. Billy Horschel has his driver set a good way back of the ball and it works for him. Time for practice! Thanks.

[dazzling]

WOW! best tip EVER! I am 72 yo struggling with driver for some time now and blown out to genuine 30+ handicap. Tried this today and was crushing my drives and STRAIGHT! Setting up clubface behind the ball and keeping your eye on the ball as you swing and release promotes much higher club speed/ height and CONFIDENCE! Playing partners mouths dropped open as I regularly matched our longest hitter (my younger bro in law). Tried similar behind ball set up on irons/ hybrids and couldn't believe how much purer you hit the ball! Most enjoyable game in a long, long time. Can't believe how I've never heard/been shown this tip before. Thank you, thank you Ali

[dan.downing]

This is the type of thing that makes you look back at your habits and assess what you are doing. A great reminder of the formula for good drives and what you need to do to execute them. Thank you!

[alanpershing]

This is one of the truly genius videos I've seen addressing the driver swing. I watched it, then practiced on the range for about 30 minutes and then played a round of golf with my 29 year old son. I'm 65 and kept up with him in driving distance all day; I'm normally 30 to 40 yards behind him. Not only that, I hit the ball straighter and didn't miss a fairway!

[gregoryciesla]

I incorporated your lesson with a stronger grip and OMG…what a difference! Adding 30-40 yds and much better control. Everything just clicked. A huge thank you Ali

[yadthink]

I began doing this many months ago, not specifically to change my angle of attack, but to square my shoulders, which had been open to where I was aiming. It's so easy for little things, like alignment, to creep into our swings!

[brettaiello]

Getting swing tips from youtube is not often a fruitful endeavor, but this video turned out to be the exception. I was doing exactly what you were saying when driving - I had a tilt at address, had the ball at my front heel, but, although I knew you swing up with the driver, this video made me realize I hadn't actually been doing it. The lightbulb went off when I realized my shots were low and only around 200 yards, just like the one you hit with the club moving downward. Wow. I didn't really understand that I wasn't getting proper loft on the ball, and it was because my club was probably actually moving down at impact. I tried your tip out on the course, and although I had a couple mishits where I hit the ground before the ball, the majority of strikes flew so much better than they had been - higher, further, and somehow straighter. I finally felt l was swinging driver the way it was meant to be swung, utilizing its loft. This was such a helpful tip that saw immediate benefits to my game as a newer golfer. Thank you, Ali!!

[markzens]

This was the tip I was looking for. Finally someone was able to give a quick and simple demonstration on how to hit up on the ball. Practicing and learning it takes some repetition but it works. I am driving the ball much further and straighter as well. It’s still feels different and will take some time to groove into my swing, but I am seeing positive instant results. Thanks

[johnk.atchley]

Thank you for this. It works. I saw it on The Average Golfer, who said clearly he got it from you and provided the link to your video. I am 82, have played for over 60 years, have a 16-17 handicap. Of course I have lost distance with age. But I have been working hard on improving my swing mechanics and speed in order to get carry back to 200 yards or more and total distance to 225 or better. I happened to apply your tip halfway through practice with driver at the PGA Superstore in Rockville, Maryland where I can get actual data from their Foresight GC Hawk launch monitors. I have been using two drivers. My usual one is a Callaway Epic GBB Sub Zero 10.5 degree with a Graphite Design Tour AD-IZ 5 R1 (regular plus) 54 gram shaft. The other is a 10.5 degree XXIO X black, 2019 version with orange trim, not the newer one with green trim, recently bought in mint condition for a bargain price. It has a Miyazaki AX-1 47 gram stiff shaft (International Flex Code 4333, which is really stiff minus).

Before results (with ProV1x ball): With Callaway driver, ball speed 117.3, carry 190, total 212. Best single shot ball speed 120.6, carry 198 total 218. On other days, I have occasionally hit 205 carry, but that has become frustratingly rare. With XXIO driver, ball speed 118.7, carry 191, total 210, best single shot ball speed 118.9, carry 196, total 215. Meh.

After results, using your setup tip, with XXIO driver: ball speed 122.1, carry 205, total 228, single best shot ball speed 124.2, carry 209, total 234. I was overjoyed.

To be fair, part of the improvement was due to my applying instructions on right arm adduction and external rotation advice from another favorite, Eric Cogorno, from a June 4 video titled "The TRICK To Leading With The Right Arm In The Downswing, " as well as other advice that in order to make a correct rotation you absolutely must first get your weight on to the lead leg/foot, if your weight stays on both feet or back, you will just spin the hips, throw the swing off and lose power. I was also reminding myself to brace the trail leg, turn the right hip back, and turn the shoulders more fully back even if it initially feels exaggerated. All things easy to forget. But regardless, it was only after using your address tip that I got a sudden 14 yard improvement in carry. So thank you. And thank Andy.
