This Is The MOST COMMON Driver Fault I See!

This Is The MOST COMMON Driver Fault I See!

it is one of the best drills that you can do to change your attack angle and change your path in the region of 75 80 yards longer through the air so if we’re looking to change attack angle very often we have to change paths [Music] okay let’s start this video with me hitting a shot with trackman putting some daydream on the screen and i want to see if you can pull out what would be the most common fault what i say far too often which is holding so many golfers back just before i do that drop down below give this channel a subscribe if you’re not already comments box down there and give this a like if you did find some value in this video green keeper’s just gone that gives me the chance to hit this drive so let’s go ahead hit it and we’ll see we can have a look at the data and pull out what we want wasn’t a bad drive kind of down there so you can see you can see the data that’s on the screen at the moment um you know carrie was pretty short it was 187 yards launch angle at 60 degrees dynamic loft it’s just well 6.7 degrees ball speed of 170. so the one number and hopefully you’ve pulled this out and you’ve recognized it is the attack angle the attack angle is minus six degrees that’s not what we want that’s what i see a lot so what that really means is that when my club hit the golf ball it was traveling downwards towards the ground now if you just look at what that does to the loft it will generally in most cases it will take loft off the golf club not always but in most cases so that’s why we get dynamic loft which is how much loft is the club got just under seven degrees that’s really low that means the launch angle is down at just under six degrees and if you saw the ball flight it was very very low so whilst i can hit fairways that way with a ball speed of 170 miles an hour i shouldn’t really be carrying the ball 187 yards that’s way down now on the screen at the bottom you can see a little chart and i’ve just done that chart for a club head speed of 100 miles an hour and what you can see is that it gives an idea of what distance you can achieve based on different attack angles hitting down hitting level hitting up and you can see there how hitting up on the ball just gives you so much more distance and that distance is not through more swinging speed it’s just through how the club is delivered to the ball so if we’re looking to change this attack angle this minor six which is really really common and get it to a positive number it’s gonna be a couple of things we’re gonna look at setup and i’m gonna give you a couple of drills that you can do within your swing setup is key ball position relative to the middle of you that’s the zip the buttons your chin your nose middle of you not your feet i want that ball to be significantly forward of the middle of you and you can see how as i drop that club down the wider i have my stance the more behind the ball this club gets or the middle of me gets so that’s why with the drive we like this nice wide stance we also want that ball teed up relatively high so you can see here that i’ve got that ball nicely high in the peg around about half the ball above the top of the club is a great guide now when i stand with my feet this wide and my body is positioned behind the ball the ball tends to be opposite that lead heel so that’s a secondary reference point but it really is where it is relative to your upper body that’s key and that setup there should mean that i’m going to hit the ball much later in the goal seeing it doesn’t always work that way there’s lots of golfers who when viewed from the front view have these perfect driver setups and still hit down on the golf ball and that’s very often because from the top they’ll make this type of movement and the club still comes crashing down and they have that negative attack angle so here’s a little drill i want you to do you’re going to take a head cover you’re going to place it just outside the golf ball so what that does is it means that from set up my club is able to move away from the golf ball without touching the head cover and it should mean that i’m able to deliver the club back to the golf ball again without hitting the head cover the club path which is what this little exercise is addressing is really really closely related to the attack angle if i swing to the left of target really common to also hit down on the golf ball and if i swing to the right of the target really common to hit up on the golf ball so if we’re looking to change attack angle very often we have to change path this drill is going to help you do that when you’re hitting golf balls what i’d love you to do once you’ve got your setup correct head covers in place i’d love it to use your upper body rotate and start with the golf club on the ground around about some two feet behind the golf ball i’ve done this drill in previous videos i make no apologies about doing it again it is one of the best drills that you can do to change your attack angle and change your path so from here i’m going to start my golfing with the sole objective being to miss the head cover and really sense that my club is at its lowest point around about this area here where i started with the golf club now i’m not sure if trackman will pick these numbers up because the head cover is a little in the way but we should be able to see my attack angle change significantly based on this setup and this little exercise so completely different ball flight i’m not sure if they picked that up and we did get some numbers and you can see there that the attack angle well almost completely changed that’s 5.8 degrees up so 60 degrees up and the carry went up to 260 yards so way more carry and the ball actually came with the face slower so that ball came off the face slower than the first shot and went in the region of 6 75 80 yards longer through the air incredible changes in distance and we can see that that’s not through speed it wasn’t because i swung faster i hit it harder i just optimized my delivery so getting your attack angle positive with the driver will give you more distance if you currently hit down on the golf ball it’s something that i would encourage everybody to test to check and work towards because it is free distance you just need to make sure the setup is correct try that little exercise shift the path with that setup and you should start to up on the ball gain more distance right i hope that helps usual stuff is down below comments box like button all that kind of stuff i would love to see you back here again soon for a future video thanks for watching

Nobody wants to give up distance from the tee but this common driver fault is costing golfers valuable distance every time they tee it up.

In this video I discuss the most common driver fault that I see and show how it could be costing you over 70yds in distance from the tee, the good news however, it’s easy to fix.

So if you feel that you struggle with this common driver fault then watch as I run through some simple steps to get you hitting the driver longer and more consistently that ever
