Swing the Driver like a Baseball Bat

GRF Golf Coach George shows simon how more time on his range of rotation in his driver golf swing could allow him to start to play those draws and gain control over his tee shots.

As always a huge thanks to Simon for letting us share his GRF Golf lesson experience with you guys.

Co so this is probably not the thing I came I came here this morning right so yeah I was going to say you said the the driver would slice tend to would it it would slice and it would very much tend to go out start out to the left okay so

It would start left and slice back into the middle sort of or hopefully anyway yeah cool what is different about how you’re swinging it now then well it does feel like I’m still trying to do the movement that we’ve been yes we’ve been working on as you remember from

Earlier with the Hope yeah that path is Swing Direction plus angle of attack yeah so we could have a relatively straight swing Direction but because it’s up on the teg path is actually going left yeah so the fact that they were slightly right yeah we need to go

More right with the swing Direction because it’s up on a teg if if we want to play a draw that is nice just fading a little bit wasn’t it yeah yeah cool that’s the one that lets me down that’s like there’s not many holes on our course where that’s not dead one

Set I’m coming back driver totally different from our yep just characteristics dynamics of the club so probably slightly different Dynamic to the swing as well okay so if you look how a driver sits and then look how a seven iron sits maybe come this side oh yeah you’ll see it better see

How this one’s a lot more upright than this yeah and it goes like that throughout the bags that might be your wedge wedges your nine iron your eight iron your seven your six your hybrids your 3-woods yeah your driver y so it’s just progressively going like this as

You know with an iron or a wedge we want to be striking down yeah onto a ball and so coming from this sort of space here yeah it’s perfectly fine for that so that we can then strike down on our ball and because we’re striking down with a

Little bit of a swing direction right we’re striking down so we’ve got more of a path to the right yeah so we rotate our face on that path and we get the nice draws that you’ve been getting for the last hour and a half or so yes with

A driver we’re not hitting down on it no we are hitting up on it so as we learned earlier with the hoop is going to bring our path more to the left yeah but also how do I hit up on a ball if my driver is coming from this space answer very

Difficult yeah where do you think it might be easier to come from to hit up on the ball down there yeah absolutely if we kind of rotate this way and then start to go this way almost immediately it’s fine it can be fine with the iron

We’re going to find out but if maybe if we just gave ourselves more time we might get deeper into our rotation and that might bring the club hi guys the GF travel Club is revisiting the glory resort we’re in Turkey from the 10th to the 15th of March fourstar venue amazing

Courses five nights four days of coaching with myself and one of the JF staff Plus on the course with our JF Tour player Mark Foster we’ve got six places guys follow the link in description and we look forward to seeing you there yeah more this way and

Just picturing it in your mind actually I want this sort of flatter I want to go more towards a baseball swing yes right there rather than there yeah because then for me to hit up and out on it I have to oh do some funky business whereas here probably easier and look

How I’m rotated and then I can shift and I can also with this we don’t necessarily want to shift that way very much because obviously with an iron we do want to hit down on it like that but with this our shift is more of just a drop right so we are

Absolutely dropping onto the left side but it’s not so much okay yeah sway if you like we are just dropping into it so we can then push off release out and enough so just have a few practice swings giving it a bit more time and then dropping to the right just

Down nice Simon really good that’s it and think a bit more baseball swing trajectory around the body oh yeah cuz I’m feeling a bit up again yeah awesome let’s go with the B yeah nice and there’s the draw yes yeah and it’s running I’ve never hit that with a

Draw George awesome that was brilliant brilliant yeah no if one of those pops out of the weekend I think you’ll get some referrals excellent fantastic really good yeah so that’s about 200 on the carry very good that feels a more powerful hit though already stri it’s it’s a it’s far

More of a swinging action yeah cool just step off the uh map in front of us here so come down here so we got loads of room just taking the left hand now yeah now using the whole body and everything swing it towards me and use your droping your sort of Pop to

That’s it so now see how you’re kind of almost placing the club towards me with the arm yeah what I want you to do is rotate back and then use your body to fling the arm off the chest so pop and rotate yeah in your

Chest into your arm sort of thing so it will look like this cuz at the moment it’s just like that you can see how I’m using my shoulder to try and swing it towards you whereas when I rotate and then see how it fling this body flings the arm off towards

Me yeah yes Simon well done nice see how you can hear it can’t you you can hear how much faster that is and well done and you’re opening up opening up massively aren’t you fantastic now two hands on same thing so you’re going to slingshot it

Towards me using your body there you go with a rotation of the face yes that was awesome so much better that is of of everything we’ve done today I mean it’s it’s all important the that is critical really let the body fling it off the arm off the

Chest yes good good good good good obviously bit left but the but the whip is fantastic so just really focusing on it much more in that right hand Direction there you go Simon oh that’s where it’s been look at his finish don’t move nice and extended on

Your left side you let your left ankle roll your hands relaxed it did this it did that was I was just comfortable it was brilliant look at this this is probably your finish yeah right this exact place here because you swing it it goes over the shoulder you’re watching your nice ball flight

And that happens yeah how many of them do you see on TV just doing that pretty much every single one of them the next part you practice is this Simon yeah well the ni it’s the little Club twirl to make sure the people three Fairways over no you’ve just hit an absolute that

Was I hit that one exactly see that ball 250 down there well that that looked like that actually that went well past those two pass much more optimal launch yeah you launched it higher with less Spin and have another go nice F again it was slightly down the

Left hand side but still good distance is way up there that is so far down there isn’t it yeah compared to the four or five sort of warmup shots with the driver earlier it’s yeah 50 50 yard carrying towards the 2 not carrying but rolling

Towards the 250 is it oh yeah I mean that did carry so there the post that did carry about 210 and that wasn’t even that wasn’t that was like your seven and a half out of 10 one yeah that’s that sort of N9 and a half out of 10 that we

Ate three or so ago that’s the one that will come far more regularly just with practice Yeah cuz this is feeling like I’m really letting go yes it’s looking like it if I can step in just your first sort of four five shots as in with the

Driver yeah it was a bit holding on to it all moving together a bit slow yeah and then we talked about the Dynamics of it and whatever and it changed a bit you did start to Let It Go a bit more but towards the end there as soon as we did

That just letting you turning your body into your left hand and let that fling the club off rather than you just doing it with your arm that changed everything cuz then suddenly you were just like bam really letting it go finishing nice and extended showing me you’ve used that pop

To let it all go we could hear the switch was a lot louder yeah started to direct it in that way get some face rotation I mean look you’ve been hitting driver for 7 minutes today is 8 9 10 minutes maybe you have a couple of driving range sessions

The practicing you’ll watch the video you’ll remind yourself of some you maybe even design a little but try and get to a driving range at least once a week for an hour yeah and think what you might be like in April when season comes around we’ve got some lighter evenings you

Don’t have to wear 55 layers to survive around a golf made such a difference awesome Simon real pleasure to meet you sir that was brilliant N
