This is excellent.
Basics are SO important. Great simple tips for us. Thanks Coach.
Another great video Coach, but my problem is I can’t repeat my drives from the range to the course, and I don’t know if it’s all in my head.
This is hitting the spot today! I feel like my ball position is def off! I can’t wait to get out in the sim tonight and try it out!
Janner , why when i tilt away from target do i slice more !! Help me mate ! I play off 1.6 and still struggle !! Ps i live close to you but cant be arsed to drive to honiton for a lesson !! Let me play in your garden janner 😂😂
Do as I say, not as I do 😂
Most important 1 helped me was the body tilt coach. Now I walk onto every tee with body tilt,body tilt,don't forget body tilt and its working a treat
Last 3 rounds I couldn't get off the tee with driver. Definitely going back to basics at the range before my next round
Hi Coach, I’m sure my tilt, ball position and shaft lean are correct but I still hit a fade, I just struggle to hit a draw with the driver, if I lived nearer I come for a lesson.
#2 is my biggest problem, having my low point too far behind the ball and then catching the ball on the bottom of the face as the club head comes back up from the low point. Thanks for the fix.
Thanks Coach. I believe I have a good setup with regards ball position, club lean and tilt, but all too often I end up hitting down on the ball which causes a loss of yardage and sometimes direction. These tips you have shown I will persevere with and try and get better.
Thanks coach!

Question coach – in recent shorts, you said fairways hit should not be a priority but then said that hitting greens from rough is very low. No starting a fight, but that seems to contradict each other. Aren’t I better off a bit shorter but in the fairway giving me more of a chance of a GIR instead of long and right and missing the green?
Everyone says to align ball with the inside of the lead foot. This is the 1st time I have heard of using the lead shoulder as an alignment aide. Makes a lot of sense and is very easy to do just by extending the club straight out in front and having the ball in front of the driver face. Nice!
Nothing new here.. I have seen these 3 setup items thousands of times 🙁 I was hoping for more.
Love coming back to these kinds of basics when it comes to set up. My own “feels” tendencies always get me out of funk so easily. Thanks for the tips Coach! Coming back to repeatable check points is super helpful.
ball tends to creep forward as the round goes on, slight tilt on setup i must try as have developed a shocking slice, thanks coach
I've had the shaft lean forward mainly because I do that with my irons.but your tips showed me where that causes inconsistent drives.going to try this next round tomorrow tomorrow
Interesting video. Recently gone from drives with a gentle draw to the occasional snap hook, so will definitely check the grip v shaft lean next time at the range. Thanks Coach
Excellent couching. Love u sir. Thanks
Thanks CL,will try lining ball off my armpit not my foot.Low,straight and a little short for drives at the moment
Great advice for this newbie.
You explained very clearly what I need to correct.
Why do you spend 85% of the video talking about what people couldn’t do. Why not just tell us what To Do and How to Do It.
