Im not too sure why but i’ve never shared these secrets on youtube before, but I know it can help so many of you who are looking to increase your driving distance.
Ever since in started playing I always had the ability to drive the ball farther than most, and as I improved and my handicap started to drop it became almost like my ‘super power’. As i leaned into this more and developed this skill I found myself being able to generate some fairly decent speeds, so I wanted to share with you the key moves that I focus on to help me do this.
The 4 key thoughts are actually quite simple, easy to focus on and non technical so no reason why you can’t implement these into your game right away, they helped me consistently driver the ball over 375yds and so i know first hand that they work!
The 4 moves are in mindset, takeaway transition and impact, improve these like I did and you will see some serious gains in your driving distance.
As always i’d love to hear your thoughts so ask any questions in the comments and ill get back to you
Chris

I'm glad you prefaced this video with your "natural ability". Physical ability is not talked about enough. Can you imagine how hard it is for me to have tried everything 2023/24 and it all averages 180 carry?
Chris- 3&4 were good, but showing by lifting the grip, caused the club to move more, was better. As I’ve gotten a lot older than you, I started using what you’re describing. It’s helped me with more solid contact and distance. I tend to hit a higher ball flight as well, as I tee the ball a little higher and hit more up on the driver… Something that may help some of the experienced golfers watching your channel, that are even beyond 70…..
Being precise has never been my issue 😂
funny how some launch monitors give you 40 yds roll out,the one I was driver fitted for only gives you 20yds or so.. I play in Tennessee where it rains all the time..lucky to get 10 yds roll..At 3:27 into vid you swung at 110mph and got 267yds carry..I was swinging within a mile or 2 swing speed,similar spin,smash,launch and only getting 255yds..makes no sense
Every time I try to really pound the ball I top the shit out of it or leave the club face just slightly open and crush it wayyyy right 😂
375yds consistently? I doubt that. Didnt't see any drive in this video that came even close. Good video though.
Would you do the same with a 3wood off the fairway?
Brilliant golf tuition
Would the feeling of the club head being stuck to the ground work for irons also? Or is this strictly a power move with driver
Ive always said do it your way what feels good for you will work
Best video ever!!! So relevant. LOVE that demonstration on the effect of upwards movement on a pendulum. OMG 🪙💡🤯. So many YT swing analysts say that what should be done, (as they draw random lines all over the screen) but never say why…. until now. You are the only one! I thank you for your upload, your time, experience and the knowledge transferred 🙏
Hi Chris,
I’m 75 and recently started topping the ball when driving, I mean consistently topping it, destroying my game. This despite raising tee height. I’ve always hit the driver very well in the past and got to 10 handicap in my younger days. Nowhere near that now😢
Hey Chris! When you say swing harder where is the club speed coming from? Is it your body rotation, hip rotation, setting of the trail arm wrist, or just old fashioned arm speed?
375 consistently? No way. Rory, the #1 driver on tour just averaged 340 last weekend
Agree with a lot of tips. However, and ive said this on other videos. Almost all of the longest hitters on the PGA tour have pretty slow backswings…cameron champ, jake knapp, gary woodland, luke list… incredibly slow takeaways. Sometimes this can have the effect or feeling that you have to activate the lower body to generate some speed, which in turn results in the downswing starting correctly with the body before the arms and hands.
Awesome vid mate. I've been getting a feeling of being cramped for space with driver through the ball. I like how a power move can give me more space in the hitting zone. Can't wait to try!
I see some Steve Furlonger influences 🔥🔥🔥
The full speed reads faster that trackman by couple mph on ball and clubhead speed .still good video best thing to do is get in gym and get stronger to hit it hard 💪🏻💪🏻
#1 on the Tube. No waffle, no spinning things out, no endless anecdotal monologues and no mixed messages. Brilliant as ever.
Great advice. Can you apply this to iron swings and gain more distance?
