Just some footage to upload to free up space on the ol iPhone 😂
Few weeks ago, took a lesson to dial in some driver stuff. Tim gave me the tips and drills to work on which have helped improve my driver since then.
Enjoy!
i was supposed to play Monday down at uh in Lovelin Proam down there and I’m going so that’s all I needed was all this wind or all this rain to makes the course that because it’s a civ anyway and then for me I need my I need my roll there so is that your is that what you’ve been doing just a touch no but it’s actually it’s like it’s probably more than that okay all right just a touch left so that’s 2 three and 31 back angle’s good your swing path is good it’s just that it’s the face just a little bit clos so let’s see go ahead and set up again so That’s a three yard look at your face see if you get those two there that’s what you’re going to see all day and all you do is let your hands go down the line a little bit longer yeah that’s why as soon as he told me that I’m like “No I’m just going to do that so there’s four degrees so your swing is so good everything’s together which I love shoulder turns great got the club perfect way and there’s nothing wrong with that it’s just that what happens is as you get here you tend to want to go this way as opposed to keeping it going this way it’s you’re you’re like a tick off just a little bit so the back you know and that’s what he was doing was what you’re practicing there he would do this you know he’s practicing this to go down the line but he was never rotating his hands so as he swung the right hand stayed under the whole time every ball was right and he’s got a strong grip anyway which helps flip it he would flip it and you obviously Paul he played cool he had strong grip and all he did was he hold on to it just fell and he’d hit these hard drive bullets with a little bit of cut but he you know and that’s not that’s not the shot he wants to play but so I got him the hand just to here and just try to get little just pull just pull the ball up and he it’s in his head going this way he can’t get the hands to go yeah me and me and him my brother u my brother’s buddies uh so I know him from my brother okay we played Chapel Hill like [Music] a baby turn the other way that’s all that is that’s perfect right there good turn it right back down the line stay behind yeah i feel like for one I feel like I’m hitting down on the ball more and I feel like my hands are much higher cuz remember it was like way back when I was laying off yep then I think one of the things that also kind of fixed a lot of this was I adjusted my grip like significantly and it feels so much more comfortable so when you went from we a weaker grip to a little stronger grip yeah i was weak i was like I was like this and that helps square the club exactly and it just feels more comfortable to actually try yeah keep on the top good there that is good there see I don’t mind you may not like it but two to four yard yeah that’s the easy shot to do because you hit through it and finish your swing now if you want to hit the little bit more of a draw then it’s just going to be releasing those hands more down the line you should never fear left i mean your like I said your pole is a is going to pull and I think that’s because where your hands were going but if you let them go right down the middle and let those you don’t have to worry about fall so now we’re at four so see now we’re kind of doing the same thing now ball position see how you’re kind of maybe just a touch back so if we just move you this much more up that’ll help get that club head back to square the minute you start if you move it back the base of your swing is just an inch forward that club face is open pretty much this should square up but see your pass that was perfect when you were coming into impact just 5° so you’re staying on a plane so well so you’re giving yourself every opportunity so now it just comes down to we’re still early in the season we’re starting to play more but this timing your timing will get better and better so make that same swing let those hands release towards the middle of the screen little heavy but that’s going to be hit so when you hit a heavy le Rotate stay behind it you don’t go up or down anymore you start right on that point that’s good so what have you been doing with the driver you have a driver is that all the way on the side so your irons have been you know you pretty solid pretty solid i mean I think I need a I think I mentioned I think distance or whatever but the long irons have always been the challenge yeah I have well that’s anybody long It’s all goes back to your 78 iron timing that’s all that is that’s cool just a little over the top so watch the hands come this way so when guys try to hit it hard the first move is they get here try to hit hard they do the hands first so the swing where you get more distance is is the angle here getting the club to here and then through impact that’s your swing speed okay so transition back let the left shoulder start then here is where you let the hands that’s where you’re going to get your distance so you came a little bit more that time was perfect was great because the club face your club path just a little over the top you and that’s not that bad except when you put that together that puts that spin on spin 28 that’s a little high that should be around the 23 2200 range let them release let those hands release down the middle you said you’re left-handed that’s a six that’s a seven yard fade right there i mean that all day may not be the the shape you really want but see your launch angle is correct i see you’re spinning that so did you get fit in that drop or is that Yeah this is the one I got a year and a half ago so that could be a little more of a heel heel shot let’s see yeah the only thing we’ve been trying to fix we’ve been doing is a lower T yeah that’s been I’ve been running a lower T which has been fixing right like the other day I was I was probably I was probably getting a total of like 2 6 and 70 yard okay okay that was one little mini fix well that little heel shot that’s going to take that’s going to add spin and it gets up in here but it kind of balloons on [Music] good you either hit really good or you hit really bad you didn’t change the loss or anything did you that far back in the heel yeah see that’s two in a row right there [Music] 137 spin right there and then you launch so you watch this i’ll guarantee you that’s above the equator on your driver which is where you need to be yeah look at there that’s basically the sweet spot of the drivers right there it’s not the middle of the club face anymore it’s high on the face so you’ve got that what they call that ridge uh running across just above the center of that all the way across from toe to heel spin rate that was good there that was clean great spin see when you hit it hard so you went over so you did carry it but so when you try to hit it harder that gets you coming over the top just a touch you get it back there push that shoulder back and then let feel like you let that left shoulder start the down swing and then let it follow you do a great job of releasing but I think you try to do it with your hands at the top as opposed to letting that shoulder and the hands through the impact Closer closer look at that that’s much better shoulder start there you go see how your shoulder started to swing there i do see that that makes sense and cut that’s it see there’s the shot that you know I’ll take play that all day on any golf course you know look at you perfect set right behind it fire so you use the ground you’re young the young kids that’s the big move now is use push off the ground i do that I break an ankle i notic I notic doing that a lot i’m just over here like Okay well and you do it right you know there’s like I’ve had a couple guys this week and they get right here and they’re already pushing up from here and then you lose oh yeah they top it they bl you know you want to be to here but it’s it’s that right impact you know pushing off that’s getting you up there up in the ball in the air both hands will release see you can mess with the T so look your face angle zero okay club path just a little over the top so that’s producing a a slight cut spin and because your angle of attack went up to 36 that means you just got a little steeper yeah so that’s your hit down and then when you hit down on it see what con look at the spin rate all of a sudden 4500 45 so your whole thing is keeping that club back low and allowing it to come in from that angle you get it back and you might get a little steep here forward still right yep push that shoulder get that shoulder that gets you behind the ball then you can push into it i can’t do anymore i just killing the over see now you started that upward just a little soon good tempo good tempo you can hit it hard but tense on it push back let it go better that’s better now there’s the one that’s the one that’s That’s good but you want to get that feel look at your launch take a look at your spin rate and you look at your total distance so you hit that much more solid look at you behind it and you just rotate your hands a little quick that nothing wrong with that’s the feeling now let that same feeling but towards that red dot in the middle of the screen cuz that will if you do that same swing then that ball starts out just right of center and works right back that hit the bullseye the tail so that’s just a little bit just the angle attack because everything else is good so whenever that gets a little steeper jump even that spin rate only with the 25 but if you’re setting up for a you know if you just aim it down the left center of the fairway and trust it and you rip it if you’re dead on that ball’s dead straight through left center if you hit that shot you’re in the right center boy baby you got your shoulder that is I love it in there like that dead and square just a little open three just a touch see that position right there you’re You’re set now you stay behind it just got See that i can just release it well wait the good thing about a white gloves is perfect for this cuz watch this so watch the He should disappear so at impact great leg move there so now it should rotate and it should disappear right now and see you still have your right hand under it like I was talking about your buddy before and see now it there’s where it disappears it should be disappearing right about here good now you let that really go so it’s going to start roll off should cut back a touch now that you turn it over that’s even better so we got the club path perfect and we still got it you know 1.39’s not 140 is where we want to go but see how much better that was you rotated so now it’s just a question of the rotation through there making it consistent going towards that red dot here i call it the center of the screen because you did it there you rotated and you got your hands you disappeared by here but then came around so the ball follows that same thing let them rotate but let them go down the line over the top that just a little bit inside you came in from the inside that time but then you see how quick and the hands come around the body we’re going that right arm extension around the line so as you come through go ahead and start rotating go ahead let those hands rotate so there’s this so my little tiny thing I do is I’ll set I’ll check it here so left arm straight in there and then my rotation through my right hand is here there you go keep it working let it rotate over down and rotate perfect it’s like if I was going to take my club and try to throw it red dot I’ve got to do this i got to rotate and throw rotate and throw that’s the feeling wow i can make it 10 and 12 we’re going to go over the top 1.7 so it’s just going to be about a 10 10 yard correct yeah so if it’s 4 and it been at zero it have been just a slight fade if it got to one right down the rather probably a 90° head tweak it to 10 and a half unless you play around with it because once you get yourself more definitely just Yeah all right so I want you same swing but I want you to swing through and feel like you’re going to pull the ball you know make your normal swing but feel like you’re going to try to the left field let those hands rotate over the ball you’re coming up you’re like a lift i know i think it’s all my experience two and two over the heel will make it do that yeah look at there see where it is that sounded a lot better the sound looks different what’ you do step right just a touch 141 there’s your Let’s see i guarantee you just above this the Mendoza line look at there y dead ass it’s amazing you know just by listening to shots and that kind of stuff you’re going you can tell the difference so I’m literally lining this up between with the things the Tiger Woods made because you were making you making the same swing every time but you that spin rate was so high and look your spin rate is still at 25 which is low but because of where you’re coming from now that’s just a baby fade uh I can tape it up real quick give me one sec there nice you’re wearing my middle so yeah see you a little harder so you can’t see how the club path reacts your face has been pretty much the same smash factor is the same but when you get that club path coming a little bit over the top with the face open that promotes that more left to right remember get it back there turn that shoulder push the shoulder back and then let that left shoulder start that swing everything else will follow and release a little bit more open so I want to hit it hard so remember I think we talked about this before feel like it’s a three4 takeaway y all right so everything’s the same but just feel like it’s a three quarter and let those hands work now see where you get the last one you got to about right here same thing but see your hands were a lot more you did have a little bit the one before you had a slight flop so as you started down the club still went back that one was dead on that was dead on angle for two seconds let those hands work right down the middle the one thing it happens okay so that’s a little bit so you’re busting driver after driver to driver so when you’re on the golf course you’re only going to hit probably 14 maybe 14 drivers in any given round and there’s going to be at least 20 to 30 minutes in between each one of your drivers right so you can load up on every single one of your drivers and so all all yours is it’s all about timing right now you’re attack again but see when you try to hit it harder you get that over the top with the face being open that’s going to cause the that’s the double depth right there so we want to keep the club back i don’t mind it up around four but if we get the face down around one you’re looking at a four to five yard i take that all that’s my shot right there that’s what I play you know when I was on when I had my best years which were back in the early 2000s early 2000s no one Bob S was the only one i mean he but no one can beat me i could hit my shots like that all day long and it just depend on how I put it i nine times in 200 2001 and it was just that’s because every shot was just like that so much fun all right football going back all right so just like we’re playing so you’re in the fairway you pick your club you’re ready to hit so walk up go through your Stop thinking about anything just get up trust it make that good just relax i put tags in just so I can label which ones I’m getting good see and what you do there is what I’m getting at so naturally you just let it happen there so all the practice you put in getting to where you’re supposed to be here through your impact and all that stuff when you get on the golf course you got to forget all that because you it’s in your head you know what you need to do so every time I practice or I’m on the golf course I always go back i’m not going to hit ball after ball after ball i’m going to hit it i’m going to watch see what it is and then same thing hit the club step up not think about a lot and make the swing and so that’s all I want to do is put you in that situation to where all right you’re on the golf course there’s the ball you see your shot where you got to go step up let it happen instead of where’s my hands here I got to turn my hard correct so that’s all at the range like the the main swing thought I usually have in when I’m actually like playing I hardly I don’t I hardly take practice swings the only time I take practice swings are with chipping well mine is a is one of more of a timing and I get it to here and I hold it and I just kind of just halfass it through yeah but that’s the But I think what what you were telling me was you know your miss is to left and you notice you’re not missing them left anymore was basically just your follow through getting those hands going towards the target as soon as you said I was like that makes sense yeah yeah and the thing is is you when you’re out doing it and Yeah you can’t see that now if you’re hitting balls take your phone and stick it on a chair or something where you can watch it and then if you do pull one talk to it and say there that’s what I’m talking about then go back and look and you can see where your hands are and go “Hey you know what that I need to let my hands go down the line longer.” Yeah so usually like like I’ll take windage and everything yep yep stuff too but then I’ll kind of just line up i’ll find a rest my grip fine don’t be in a hurry good see how solid that I mean that’s just solid that’s the same shot look at that you think i mean look at your fa you’ve done such a good job your your face now i mean when you’re doing it now you’re under one pretty much every time so almost dead solid square right that’s the only thing and I’m not sure if you have another appointment coming up probably just like this like the smaller one right right and I know like general like things usually want to Yes okay so where do you play it normally forward okay so right there’s middle that’s considered middle that That’s middle of where I am there move it a little bit more right there i like that right there so everything see see what you were doing with your shorter irons because it’s a longer club it manifests itself so what we had we just got you to do with your shorter irons so we got the ball position correct so guess what you got to just keep the hands going rotate let it go down the target line just trying to brush that grass good tempo my thing I end up trying to do like a quick fix is I position the ball further back and then I hit and what you do is you’re trapping it and with a four iron it doesn’t have that much loft anyway so now when you trap it it’s less loft so the ball is not up in the air and so we’ve got to find our happy place or our center of our where the club comes through but you got to hold your don’t go down after it stay on that plank so when you’re here that’s where you’re going to be at impact just let those hands release it we’re just trying to brush that grass sounded better okay good it’s just a little close look at half perfect your face just a little closed angle attacks good so but look at your position much much better and see you drove you let it drive down the line and that’s you’re going to square it up much more and I think what’s happened is you’ve moved it back which makes you really have to release and if you do it’s a smother or if not it’s right at your target push that shoulder back brush that grass with those hands releasing down the line up just a touch that’s just enough it’s It’s a split it’s just enough to get that club to come up about that much which is the difference between flushing and hitting it off the bottom rail yep hold them let them release through there brush that grass we’re not being steep as we do with our sevens and wedges for more of a driving shot you’re definitely not good good a little left but that was much better you got through it you got through it look at your attack angle see when you start getting your long irons and the attack angle zero that is unbelievable because with your short irons you’re going to be in the 1.2 to 2.2 because you’re hitting down on it yes you want to get down but it’s more of a we’re not trying to do this we’re trying to shower and let those hands work see right there you got those four degrees there’s nothing wrong with that now same thing release it that red dot in the middle relax remember trust it relax because I want more say you’re swing the ball fast save for the next year and figure out maybe I mean that’s why if I go to a 12 I’m never see who you did raise up that you were so I always use the hey address position I’m here and the only thing that changes is now I’m on my down swing just bas It’s the same thing you know we got to get it back to that same That’s beautiful that’s one other like one other racing like the last It’s one of those like my hands in the same like spot here it’s just like they should theoretically right here let them hang yeah no I might But I mean they’re still technically in the same area correct right well you want your hands ahead that’s That’s always a good thing nice touch left maybe cut back a little maybe draw yep and that’s just this is just going to be Look at your club look at the triangle so the club face just got a little close but all that is is now that you got you know what it is you know what what you were looking wasn’t happening with the long irons now it’s just keeping those hands going towards the target i keep telling my brother to come over here i’m over here so he was teaching he’s like “Yeah but now I know that.” Yeah i had a couple guys in here last week and they lesson from and oh so they wanted to sign up for 10 to 15 and change the swing so he comes in first when I meet the guys I usually have a little talk and I said so what are we look I said here’s my philosophy I’m not trying to turn you in a tour because we don’t have the time to do that I don’t want to do that and I go I get that but my thing is I want to take what you’ve got and try to fine-tune a little bit where you get the ball straighter and enjoy the game play that type of that’s exactly he goes Well I don’t get whatever the price is and some people may get get off on going to 15 things over there and trying to change their total swing but my thing is about just improving the the swing itself to get the ball to go straight now I mean you were point on all those let’s see where this little little open see there’s the difference so everything’s the same you kept it a little over the top but the club face just got a little open so probably got See your head got a little ahead so make sure you push that shoulder cuz the more you push that shoulder that gets you behind the ball push him like don’t don’t lean but let’s just Okay mhm see there you go there your head’s behind the ball and that lets you swing what you did there was you didn’t you turn the shoulder but see where my head is so as I come down where’s my head ahead of the ball where’s the club face got to be okay make sure you hit that left okay keep it going same swing keep the hands going towards that red dot there’s your swing path was perfect your angle t’s perfect five almost six degrees close so everything’s good there swing was perfect look at your behind it perfect keep let those hands extend down the target that’s something super fat nice i need jumbo and they get slices and they want the excuse is well my hands hurt so I want some cushion well you can go to a standard grip and get one of those cushiony grip when they go to a good grip the right hand comes in all of us we all you got to work your right hand that’s beautiful look at the height on that too yeah the height is uh cuz I I figured something out when I was at Westerville i was like smacking balls out there i figured out some stuff i was like man my forearm that’s like the best I’ve ever hit my forearm i hit forearm somewhere recently like Well you know I sh came a little a little hole a little bit your big thing you got to feel like those hands are going to 12:00 which would be middle screen or 1:00 feel those hands rotate but you’re throwing them down the line the minute you pull around your body that’s what’s going to happen there that’s You see right there that’s the reason I went to a cut in 1987 was because that was my shot right there my miss good that’s beautiful look at your face goosees look at your attack goosees and then see what you did so there’s the power position if you can go between one and 2.8 or whatever from slightly inside that’s where you get your distance your smash track Alex i tell you what bud swinging damn good so it’s just practice for you is is go through that thing where you take your time just not out to beat balls take your time but really work on letting those hands down and then just kind of like it from there y it’s just feeling this is all I try to feel I try to feel like I’m trying to throw it to the middle of the screen that’s my best analogy and I’m like you know I guess it’s a lot dropped a little bit but I just think that this is going to give us the best longevity i mean I don’t mind i mean there right here okay all right so that’s right all right here we go finish it up like that you’re off you’re back off the green or you’re back in the fair all right so you got your club you got your shot forget about everything make just make that good swing trust me see right there you got a little long so everything your big thing in yours is the hands down the line and feel like it’s a three quarter takeaway every time you Oh boy good hit good hit touch right baby yeah but that’s just club face swing was good hit it hit one point but those hands work see you did it you’re throwing them down the line you just got to when you do that come on through and finish that swing you decelerate all that leaves that club face slightly open no chunky there that’s just a slight but the more you start the more you trust that That’s going to be that’s going to be your your deal what you got coming what are you playing you playing next you have a league you playing a league or Yeah Safari that’s on Tuesday oh that’s how you said that on Tuesday i sub I sub for my buddy on Thursday okay it’s what that was miserable it was just ugly rain oh my god terrible we’re supposed Like I said I’m playing down in Cincinnati my second tournament of the year but uh it’s of course I’ I’ve won a couple times on it and I don’t mind it but if it’s wet it gets longer and that’s a whole whole different ball game but I got to start getting out more i you know get two days off but I’ve been so busy doing stuff and all that and hunting i’ve been turkey hunting now three times i got two last week did an air fryer nuggets so what I is that I’m not trying out i’m just like I’m over here like all right i think [Music] so the big thing on low shots is now we we go opposite of what we’re trying to do with our hands so instead of rotating we’re trying to hold on to it to keep that that shaft and the club square so it’s alone whether it runs or whatever i know like I know you know there’s got to be some point of release correct i know like there’s some instances where you have players where they try to literally pull all the way yeah and that’s got to be the stinger or the low punch when you’re trying to go under something more like really trying to actually put you into $4,000 you helped out with the irons a lot kind of just figured out some other stuff on the way you help with a lot of foundation well the other shots are the shots that you’re going to need when you do play you’re not going to hit a dead and be come up with you know so all of a sudden you play some of these trees and they’ve got a gap about this long and they’re going to hit the home run threw it cut it knock it on the ground and then they hit home run screw and score well look you had a bigger egg there here just chip chip it out there to where you have 100 yards cuz you can get it on the green the hell out you might height and good spin so here’s mine this is So when I try to keep it low I choke it down a little i play it more little bit past the center but then it’s just hold on so that’s real low but that’s that’s going to be should be straight but it’s under a tree run pick it up it was just too good no that one was too low oh you’re not standing oh that one so that should be down the gut low and see I like to do that even on wind if you’re into the wind you take out that club and so Oh that that’s why I was playing those like low shots right i’m just like You know you know I was dealing with a lot of skin issues i’m just like I’m going to go ahead and just te this thing it’s like it already takes off doing that for me yeah just go ahead go ahead that’s just pull so it’s pretty much the same thing i’ll throw that grip on so same thing with the punch you got to keep the hands even if you don’t break it down you got to keep them going towards the target there you go hey I got to go do some club repair hey good job good job keep it like I said keep working it down the line okay absolutely you got it
