What tends to happen with your driver well I know you said you more hit three would but when you do take driver what tends to happen with it rice is probably my favored mess straight outright or sort of a moving to the right bit of both bit of both

Cool just a bit pulled no problem go again oh that’s lovely that’s beautiful that felt better principally of course we are shifting we are rotating we are dropping and popping and all the rest of it just going to slightly reconfigure it for the Dynamics of the driver because if you think about

It that’s your seven I’ll take your driver notice the LIE angles of them yeah very different different instruments this one designed to be struck on the way down take a divot sort of after the ball hopefully so it can be sort of delivered from somewhere in this

Space especially for you as a tall guy it’s going to definitely be coming from somewhere quite steep up here down onto it this instrument very different balls up on a TEEG yeah if we’re coming from here going to be very difficult to swing down

And then be on the way up by the time we get to the ball so we’re going to play around with this sort of space around here which you’re doing naturally just through your rotation but there are a couple of things we can do so if you

Step to the side of the ball here and and face me and get into a posture golf posture as in you know with your hands and everything like that that’s it so in fact actually take your setup to an imaginary ball not this one yeah yeah and then when you’re

Comfortable you you’re fine there so just don’t move notice it’s almost like a straight line from your almost from your shoulders yeah down to the club head yeah there’s not much differential here so if you let go of the club and just let your arms hang naturally under

No tension whatsoever they are just hanging with gravity so they can swing as if you were rolling a ball that way and that way that’s it yes exactly just let them swing and now stop swinging them but just let them hang with gravity take the tension out that’s it hold on

Don’t take don’t grip this club just yet you’re going to want to but don’t don’t don’t don’t awesome now take your grip on that club there I feel different yeah hands are a lot lower yeah now you’ve got bit of angle between this I’m not necessarily interested in the angle between here

Well I am interested in the angle of this shaft right so like I said we’re going to have it more somewhere in this space is as opposed to somewhere in this spish and having that shaft lower are you the hands lower a dress is going to

Encourage more of this it’s not going to guarantee it it’s going to encourage right but also your arms aren’t then under so much tension because yes for me to have them here they’ve got to be under tension was there you were just letting them hang with gravity less

Tension they can then react to your body action hi guys the grf 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 grf Tour player Mark Foster we’ve got six places guys follow the link description and we look forward to seeing you there it’s good it’s very good you got the ball turning over right to left nicely so you got a lovely face to path relationship the swing Direction just

Needs to go even more to the right very good very very good just got a little bit snatchy yeah with it as in the arms got a bit too involved kind of didn’t trust it and yanked on it a little bit cool so just let take it in your left

Arm just in the left hand that’s it and just get it swinging back and forth towards me that’s it cool keep going for me yeah so notice how you’re almost sending this with your shoulder so you’re creating this with the shoulder a bit what I want you to do is swing it

Back and then use the drop the drop and the pop so that three four let that sequence that 3 four that pop throw the arm off the rib cage in my direction rather at the moment it’s a bit labored with the shoulder right yes and a nice sharp little bang bang yes well

Done notice the swish is a lot louder fantastic and again hold it there brilliant really well popped extended on the left side which has opened you up let that travel out there notice you’re kind of leaning back away from it a bit because you’re counterbalancing that this is snapping

At 100 plus mph in that direction it needs you to bang don’t you don’t need to think about it you don’t need to try and do it you were just doing it automatically I’m just pointing out what’s happening yeah yeah yeah very good slightly off the bottom

Of the club was it would you say yeah yeah yeah sounded like it and kind of looked like it but fantastic swing just slightly out the bottom wouldn’t it oh yeah fantastic great shot that’s it brilliant slightly off balance wasn’t it but it was good yeah got that launch up that spin down

Yeah so close just a little bit left with the swing it’s crazy how far right yeah you need to go yeah and it will feel crazy you’ve had a bit of a bias to the left in the past but watch this cuz like I said earlier it’s too quick

Down here so we’re going to sense it more in this change of Direction and look at that that is like it’s different post code but by the time you’re at the ball it’s your next door neighbor yeah so just really push yourself push yourself to an extreme it is those those

Guys on The Fairway out there a guy in the red that’s where you’re dropping to it is just so far right you would not believe it but then that face just rotates left and gives you a nice little draw yeah see look at this the ball flight’s telling

Us cuz if you were actually over there ball would end up over there it just but it’s not and we’ve even got a wind that is mostly down and slightly off the right so any sign of hook going on this would be off yes but you’re feeling like you’re going over there and

What you’re getting is a tight little draw down the middle of a fairway it’s mad isn’t it it is kind of mad is kind of mad right couple more yeah good beautiful flight obviously it just started too straight yeah so all that’s telling you is you

Can go more that way it really is Bonkers because you’ve been slightly biased to the left it is going to feel truly out of this world go on this is this is the one your monthly medal oh he’s done it he’s only gone and done it is it a beauty

Down the right hand side of the Fairway trundling on up there very good wow that was awesome height on that as well yeah nice launch but height because of your launch yeah as in you got a nice launch angle rather than it starting low and

Then any spin is is taking it up yeah um that was beautiful nice piercing flight yeah was pleas how how far as you hit your driver usually I mean it’s obviously hard to say because and whatever but what would you expect roughly it’s not much over

200 I don’t think oh really on carry yeah okay well we’ve got these flying way over 200 uh these are okay balls like two-piece balls we’ve got a downwind as well which needs to take but you’ll find out when you go back to an familiar environment where you’re like

Oh I’m usually back there a little bit we don’t know or you might be in the same place with a little less effort we don’t know it’ll be interesting to get your feedback yeah when when you’re back in your home environment feel all right absolutely yeah foot fine

Haven’t thought about it no excellent good stuff yeah awesome truly enlightening thank you good well thank you for making the journey appreciate it it’s a long way you’ve come obviously yeah I just had to make it happen that’s all that’s yours by the way yeah yeah awesome and you’ve done really well you
