I am definitely driving the ball much farther today than when I was 18 years old in my prime as a top junior player! Back then, we used to carry 250 and hoped for some roll out to 280; now I am 15 yards longer IN THE AIR! Find out how I do it!

Same set up for irons? Club behind ball 3 or 4 inches?
Shawn, This is great stuff! I have been working on your methodology for about a month now. The biggest inconsistency I find is with my driver. I seem to push the ball right or snap hook left. Feel like my setup is not quite right and am experimenting with stronger and weaker grip and closed or more open club face to find solutions but definitely hitting the ball further. Not your distances yet but further for sure!
Is casting a fishing pole underhanded a good analogy feel for the golf swing?
You certainly have optimized your swing and you are getting the most out of your swing without a doubt. However I am hitting a draw and if I get my driver that far forward I hit those snap hooks because presumably the club is already turning the corner. I would be curious to see if you yourself wanted to hit a draw which didn't overdraw the target line does anything in your setup change?
You make me soooo sick ……in a good way,I’m 42 and can’t get the driver to go longer then 250yd
Awesome video. The angle of attack wasn’t one of your pinned metrics on the screen…how many degrees up were you hitting on those drives? Thanks!
What ball and driver did you use when you were 18?
Happy birthday, Shawn. Thank you for all the amazing teaching!
Alls these yrs I’ve worked with you and followed you man and here you are still dropping dimes of knowledge. I have thought forever I was suppose to get the bottom of the club to skim the top of the tee. You just showed that the top of the tee is actually hitting the Clubs Face about 1/2” up on the face or more to 3/4”. That’s a massive difference in my brain.
Happy birthday Shawn!
Tbh it doesn't look like he is hitting the ball that far is he at like 5000ft elevation?
So impressive. I’m the same age and carry the ball 225 or so. I’d do almost anything to get that up to 260
Shawn, the premium channel sounds awesome, but when are you coming back to Australia? We have great golf during the Canadian winter. 😜
💣🧨💪🏌️👌😃🎁🎂👍
Great video! Very informative.
What is the driver loft and shaft you’re using?
The last long drive competition in Tennessee really highlighted what you are talking about in this video. Jack Smith had a swing like he was carving a 3 wood down a tight par 4 with effortless ease. As soon as he got ahead of Borgmeier and Berkshire you could see their strain level go to a 100 and they couldn't find the grid with a road map. You knew as soon as they started their backswing they had no chance of beating him.
Wow you look alot older than 58😅
Probably the longest drives ever recorded at 160mph ball speed. Honestly I’m not an expert but I highly doubt you can physically get a ball 296 yards carry with that ball speed. 296 yards total including 20 yards of roll yes of course. If indeed these balls carried 296 yards you have to be studied by a team experts because it’s a monumental achievement, of your GC quad has to be calibrated😅. If it was backed up by a radar device like a trackman or fkightscope I’d be less skeptical. Anyways this swing is clearly optimised .
I just turned 58, still carrying about 300, 330 plus with the roll out. I'm a gym rat, still as strong as ever, and that helps. Ball speed in the mid 170's, still training to get that up.
Only 58 you have a whole lot of hurtin to go through yet in life
Finally I "gave up control" !! unfortunately it was during club championship and everything was 15-20 yards longer.. but what a feeling as the club releases. Drove a green at 270 than made 10ft eagle putt. I can get used to this. Thanks Shawn, Sav and Mu.
