Everyone wants to maximize their driving distance, but there’s a widespread driver issue that’s silently robbing golfers of precious yards every time they tee off.
In this video, I’ll delve into the most prevalent driver fault I come across and reveal how it might be causing you to lose more than 60 yards of distance from the tee. The great news is, it’s a straightforward problem to rectify.
So, if you’ve ever felt challenged by this common driver fault, join me as I walk you through some simple steps to help you hit the driver longer and more consistently than ever before

Nice one Chris 👍 😊
Very well explained. You've highlighted (lowlighted?) a couple driver issues I know I struggle with, especially moving the shoulders forward. Will try this out this afternoon.
Loved your training info.
Your advise for the driver swing never gets old… I just need to listen and do it. Thank you!!!! 🙌🏼⛳️⛳️
I hit up on it and still can't carry 200. Tried absolutely everything. Starting to think it's just not possible for some people.
Hi Chris,whats that gadget called please ?
Thanks
Many of CR’s lesson videos have anecdotal wildlife, like deer, cattle, crows! This one has “BigBug” about3/4 thru. I Al working the head cover drill & hope to avoid walk of shame if hit off practice tee!
Definitely giving this a try, hitting down and slicing a lot lately.
Keeping your head behind the ball has helped me immensely off the tee and eliminated my slice. At worst, I have a slight fade and I'm now hitting fairways 60-70% of the time now. Thanks!
I played with a chap off +0.3 last week who is 66 yrs old . He hits his driver really low and says he does that because he gets more run that way. He can hit it high as well but the end result is less distance . So for seniors like me your video last week was very useful but didn’t explain how a lower ball flight might help give more run. I hit it high but have a job getting more than 180 yds . I’m 76 mind. !
I tend to "fall back" when i try to stay behind the ball. Any suggestions?
Interesting to note that with irons you want upper center to win race to impact over the lower center and lower center to wing race over upper center with a driver to hit up on the ball? So the key is who wins the race to impact depending on iron play or driver play?
Another great video! Thanks Chris as always.
I'm visualising tying a head cover to a piece of string and attaching it to my ankle. Great tip.
Wow, what a difference
If I start hitting it 300 yards, I'll have a 100 yard gap between my driver and my 3w. Also, 115mph club head speed… WTF?
Hi Chris, great video. Thank you. I have a question I’m hoping you can provide your thoughts. As an owner of the original Stealth Driver what are the benefits/advantages of the Stealth 2? I’m months away from joining the 50 years of age club and still have a single digit handicap. I’ve read all the marketing material from Taylormade however have never had any real first person thoughts. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
The understated hips first tip is a big tip! Thanks Chris!
Thanks as always. I think I have adjusted my swing to often hit up, but I suspect that the flight is too high now. I get the same distance as before but with less effort (not overswinging), but any wind really hurts me. How do I find the middle ground? 7:03
Awesome thanks.
Chris what is the app you are using on your phone to measure the distances.
Didn't you gain 35 yards a couple of years ago? Definitely returning in two more years. Looking forward to your 400 yard bombs.
Excellent video. Simple and makes sense
Hi Chris, something I struggle with in relation to this is high toe contact, as if my body is clearing like it would with an iron and my left side pulls the club head in causing toe contact. Any idea how to correct that? Another top notch video by the way!
