Jeff from Venice FL love the tips
Hello, this is Tony from Naples Florida. I hit a hugh fade and can't seem to fix it so I just play it. I will work on this video and keep you posted.
Good Stuff! Very simple theory and easy to learn for average players like us. You don need 105 mile swing to enjoy golf..😅
Rob from Deltona, Fl, definitely a love/hate thing going on with the driver! Thanks for the tips!
Ken from St George Utah, I love drills also…You said this past Fall you were going to put together a series of drill videos, or at least you were considering it. Where are you on making those videos? Thanks for all your help
Great tip Todd!! Plainfield, Indiana

Hi Todd love your explanation of releasing the club, but my problem is the club face is always open at impact big slice to the left for us lefties I've tried closing the face at address any drills for this problem tia I'm from the UK county of Cambridgeshire.

Great video and clear explanations Robert from New Jersey , Todd I have to tell you I played here yesterday it was cold and windy yet I was killing it with my driver and second shots I was on or close to the green on all par 4 s in two shots now if I can chip and putt I’ll be ready for the Masters 🤣 not really but you have helped me with all your videos drop my scores from high 50s low 60s to the high 40 s last 3 times out 49 , I think that’s progress
From Shaker Heights, Ohio. Love your videos. As I have gotten older, more "experienced", I have had to modify my swing a bit. I can't rotate like I used to. I love how you get the shaft underneath the line on the downswing. I used to be a hip player. rotating them hard and I was a mid single digit handicap. No more. Can't do it like I used to if I want my back to survive. My downswing "feel" is now throwing my right shoulder down and around replacing where my left shoulder was at setup, but feeling like my right shoulder stays ahead of the clubhead. If I come over the top, the club head gets even or ahead of my shoulder. This has worked for me as my contact is more consistent now and clubhead speed is up about 3 mph on my driver. and I believe it helps me shallow the shaft a little bit. Again, thanks for your videos.
Hi. Jim from PA. I've been following your videos on the VLS. This seems to go against what I've been practicing. Been playing this game for the past 20 years and it still confuses me. Thanks for your videos. They have helped me.
Tulsa, Ok. I don't slice it but my miss is a pull hook with driver and a pull with irons. 3 wood I seem to stick in the dirt way behind the ball (too steep I assume). I am always trying to protect from the High Pull that is straight or pulled and turning left.

Todd, from Vancouver, WA. I was a "fighter pilot". Seems that eye to hand coordination didn't transfer to my golf game. I struggle with a hook, so I'm the guy who tries to hold off on the release. Suggestions?

Hi, I am Luis from Argentina. Great tip, and very easy to understand. I am struggling with my drive, I will try this concept. Thanks!
Hi, I’m Jaroslaw from Poland, great tip indeed, but if you could advise something on hitting driver from a diagonal (close stance) that I’m using. The key issues I have is backswing direction, e.g., should it be along the feet line so inside the target line and ball position, e.g., should it be more inside the front hill? I would greatly appreciate your comments on the above, or perhaps a video? For your information I’m using such stance due to my bad back, simply from the square stance I’m always hitting fades, or sometimes slices. Best Regards J
Mike from NH- I have the toughest time making the in-game adjustment when I slice the ball with my driver. Thanks for the advice.
This works great; from the UK
