Just wanted to say really like the way you're growing your content and your channel. Keep up the excellent work. And congrats on your beautiful new facility.!
Great video. Great that you're putting your studio to benefit us immediately. I've played for years with a fellow who hits massive 300+ drives with his Ping G10 driver consistently. I like you're basic message of distance being a product of the archer probably more than the arrow.
Oh and by the a review of the new Costco Kirtland irons would be great as they come out.
Very interesting timing for me personally. I am new to golf (at least semi-serious golf) and I too was sucked in to believing that a new driver was all I needed to cure my issues, as I have a lower swing speed too, although I'm in the high 80's and low 90's. Anyway, after buying a Callaway Epic Speed and a Cobra Rad Speed XB, I saw very little to no improvement in my game so I took the last dreaded path, lessons! lol. I booked some lessons and learned a ton. So this off season I thought back to those purchases I made and I went to an indoor golf place with my old Cobra F-Max from 2017 and compared them. Perhaps not too surprising, I was hitting all 3 of those drivers within 10 yards of one another. What I've learned is don't be shy to open up your stance to widen or lengthen your swing, make certain you are gripping the club properly and most of all, relax!! Relaxed muscles move faster than tense muscles, so free and easy will produce more power in the golf swing. Great vid btw!
You are the king of getting the most out of what you have! 👍
Great video Simon. I started golfing 5 years ago now with an old set of clubs my buddy loaned me. Bought my driver based on a video of yours. The Cobra F-9. You said it looked like bumblebee from transformers but you hit it well and seemed surprised. Lol. Since then I've had it fitted and learned the correct way to hit it and i honestly don't think i could do better with any of the new drivers. Consistent and down the middle is always the best.
Unbelievable vid mate 🙏
Really helpful Simon! Thanks for breaking this down.
for all intensive purposes
But how do you correctly deloft the driver ?
Great video. Such good explanation and advice. So many golfers chasing distance by buying new drivers instead of better technique. A question, at what point in the downswing should be the highest mph speed for efficient strike? At impact or after impact?
Thanks. Saved this to rewatch over and over. I’m not getting the most out of my driver swing. Lots of tips in here to work with. 👍🏼⛳️🏌🏽♂️
How do I work on launch angle? Finding I’m hitting a 9.5 deg driver with a launch angle of 20 degrees (or more)
Great video and very well explained .
I still like your content, very different to the main YT golf channels that explains me every week this new piece of equipment is the best of the year.
Simply the best video I have seen on you tube regarding hitting a driver.
We get all these other channels swinging out of their shoes to get maximum swing speed and ball speed.
You have shown it’s how the ape holding the club swings and controls his swing that determines how far the ball will go.
A slow swing but with the proper strike beats a wild lash every time , it’s why physical size and strength mean very little, you know when you have hit it well as you almost don’t feel the ball
You have just confirmed that you cannot buy a game if your swing has core faults, lessons v buying clubs
Doesn't hurt to repeat this message again and again. I still hear mates repeating the claims from the manufacturers that the new driver x goes 10y further.
Best video I’ve seen for years, thanks
Excellent video Simon, really well explained. I swing at around 90mph and aim for around 220 carry . I have gained distance by slowing down and making better contact. Just need to get it consistent now
Great video as always.
Just wondered what stickers you use for your GC Quad and where can you buy them online?
Our local club has a GC Hawk and without club data always leaves me guessing over AoA and club path.
Thanks
I need lessons.. This confirms it for me! I can hit 160mph on Top Tracer but only get 250yd total with a massive slice! I DO swing in-to-out but still manage to hit down because my wrists are too "set" throughout my swing. I can tell myself but I can't fix it myself.
The few times I "let go" and relax my wrists I can smash a baby draw and get closer to 270yd carry but I feel it's still high-spinning.
Suppose i'm an unusual case but this video confirms it – I need lessons!
Simon the best blog I have seen explaining this in a simple way first class mate 👍👍
Clearly explained. Good lessons are worth more than new clubs.
Knowledge is power. You provide clear unbiased information which benefits many a golfer. You may not be popular with golf club manufacturers but we love you!

Great video mate, the basic principles of launch conditions and strike are often ignored when shiny new clubs get launched 👍
♥️I love you and your channel thanks to your trader I've been making over 173k dollar in the last 2months with an investment of 29k dollars Money can be made even in a bear market…
This is so good. Well explained.
Great video Simon very interesting just go's to show no matter how new and expensive the equipment is its only a small piece of the puzzle
What an awesome video!! Saving golfers tons of $$$$$$$$$$$
one of or if not the best youtube video using a launch monitor ever! brilliant
Love your take on golf equipment. I find center strike to be the key to distance. Thanks for your efforts.
Excellent video that. I've always struggled with understanding the driver club face … Irons never a problem but to deloft and hit up never made sense to my mind conceptually; it does now, so thanks. It will genuinely help me a lot
Simon its intents and purposes not "intesive purposes.
Brilliant. There must be a matrix of club/ball speed/club loft/spin loft. I'd love to see that
I totally agree with max distance on centred strikes with same clubpath and AA. Is there any truth to new drivers maintaining ball speed and spin rates not jumping up on off centred strikes?
I have to comment again, as I find this video so helpful that you explained so well. Thanks again Simon. Saved to my favourites.
One of the best videos on YouTube! Thank you
Brilliant video Simon, I used to have ball speed around 168 mph as a 22hcp, changed to an extra stiff and it's around 145 to 155 now but glad to see if I fix my slice then I should see better results than buying a new club
Your understanding of the spinloft isn't correct. You may want to do some research and try again on that part before you start spreading false information.
This might be my favorite video you’ve made! So many instructors feel like they are talking at you, while you make it much more engaging and practical!
Great video Simon, makes it blatantly obvious buying the next new driver will not help. Spend half the cost of new on lessons and improve your driving
Thank you for this explanation, I can now work on my technique with some understanding. Cheers from New Zealand
I tend to have high spin at the moment and get about 200-210 carry, i know I need to hit up but not had time to practice
