There is only one mistake seniors make when using their driver…using their driver. Either shorten it, or use a three wood. I grew up using a Wilson maple laminated block driver. The standard driver length then was 43". It's a pity that big golf company disinformation to make more money led to almost 4 foot-long drivers.
The thing that's helped my game the most is for me to concentrate on keeping my weight 70/30 on my left side(works with every club). Fixes the falling back issue almost completely. It fixes the dreaded thin and my personal hated 'fat shot' most of the time ;). It also helps if i concentrate on keeping my left foot planted.
The last tip, knees touching, does help with completing the rotation through the ball. I kept fading and or slicing out of seemingly nowhere. My son noticed the ball went the direction I was facing. Rotating to get the knees together helps pull the club through and have an ending position looking down the fairway…the direction of the belt buckle. You get stiff or tired and it’s harder to do. 59, Louisville KY
Jackson, Michigan. The typical senior golfer (63), 11.2 HI. Not as strong and less flexible. Great tips and easily applied. Can't wait for this year – missed 2024 due to knee replacement. Did buy your book while healing – loved it!
From Vancouver, been playing since I was 6 years old, and the second tip you gave, I honestly think that's been my problem most of my life. Not holding the handle up high enough. Been watching quite a few of your videos and they're just great.
Hello Todd! I appreciate how prompt you are in responding to comments—thank you for that. My question is about the theory behind elevating the handle at address. Does this technique apply to all clubs in the bag, or is it specific to the driver setup? I look forward to your response.

Well explained. Can't wait to try the tips on the range tomorrow. Will sure give you feedback. Watching from Zimbabwe 😊
When referring to the golf handle during a driver swing, you typically use "raises" or "lifts" to describe the motion of the handle moving upward.
66 years old just started playing golf great video will help me tomorrow in England.

I bought ur book. Bad lie. With the driver, are the shoulders parallel to target or slightly right of target if ur righty?
Really good video, my friend. Concise and very straightforward. Have watched it 3 times now. Keep this coming please. Subscribed on the back of it.

Why do golfers look several times before slicing 😅😮

Well explained, and succent lesson, Thank-you
You assume senior golfers can do that full swing like a young guy. Bad assumption. I could really care less for 10 more yards. I want accuracy.

No experienced player hits driver from the middle of the stance. You’re insulting people here!

i dont get it. Once the club face contacts the ball, the ball is gone. What does follow through matter?
