right golf makes welcome back down to another video I say a video basically it’s lesson Simon what have you got for us today so we’re getting a lot of questions on the channel about increasing your carry with the driver increasing the club head speed with the driver increasing the strike quality with the driver so today what we’re going to do is address all of those things for everybody so coming into the season people can really start to hit the driver a lot better and you going to show some things what you think people could be doing wrong 100% straight away and if it’s not you it could be one of your plane Partners so this video is very interesting for yourself or one of your plane Partners absolutely cuz it’s yeah everybody asks for a friend so people want to hit it further people want to hit it straighter people want to carry it more they want more Club head speed they want to hit a big high draw the three main faults that we see with people with driver the first one they’re told to get the ball up in their stance so we see the ball being actually too far forwards so when they address the golf ball the face is aiming left already their shoulders are aiming left already so if the ball’s too far forwards that club face is orientated and if I ere exaggerate that club face we can all see golf mates that that is aiming way left so if we bring that back to just inside the lead heel and just bounce that back we can see that that club face is absolutely perfect relative to the Target line so make sure in the first instance that golf Ball’s just inside your lead heel if you’ve got the ball position too far forwards you’re more likely to come over the top of it you’ll hit a doft little smother hook that goes left or you’ll back up on it and try and square your shoulders out and hit a big high slice to the right yeah so by creating perfect ball position in the first instance we’re going to have the opportunity to make sure that face is perfect because we know 85% of where the ball starts with the driver is where the face points are impact so if the face is misaligned for any reason golf ball could go anywhere the second major fault we see is people are told to get their weight back onto their right side what that does it gets the low Point miles behind the golf pool the problem is then you can hit the ground you can hit a that one you can hit too much up on it and miss it or top it so what we want is we want a little bit of pressure on the right side on the left side 55% of your pressure on your left side and we’re going to talk about the side bend in a minute so we don’t want to be back here cuz that moves a low point we want to have the ball position inside the lead heel and 55% of your pressure on your left foot now this is the real gold we know that we’re trying to create an ascending blow into impact so let’s get the ball up to lead heel let’s get a 55% of pressure on the lead side now we’re going to not going to tilt the spine angle or move the mass what we’re going to do is compress your right rib cage so you’re really going to feel that your lead shoulder goes up and your right shoulder goes down so my pressure is still in my lead foot my spine Angle now is perpendicular to my angle of attack so I can get that club working upwards through the strike that’s going to give you more carry distance because that club face is going to hold its perfect amount of LOF through impact if we get the correct amount of side band at a dress and then we try and turn and go into left side bench you’re going to hit down on that and take all the Loft off it causing again a little slice a little low horrible neck strike so the one thing we can all do as well as the best players in the world is set up to the golf ball like Tiger Woods set up like John Ram set up like Justin Thomas so we’re going to pop that club face in so we know it’s aimed at the Target we’re going to work that ball position in we’re going to 55% of your pressure here and good right side Bend now as we swing this backwards we’re just going to use the club in your arms to get it going backwards don’t think about turning as we get to the top we’ve moved the pressure a little bit out of that foot into that foot and as we change direction we’re going to put the pressure back in the left foot but hold the right side Bend so we can still see my spine angles tilted back to the right as my spine angles tilted back to the right and I get that club to shaft parallel in the down swing I then use my hands my body will decelerate as the club and my hands and arms accelerate past it that’s where speed comes from so the speed comes between shaft parallel in the down swing and shaft parallel in the follow through because that club’s going to be work at the fastest point through the bottom of the Ark perfect one of the things that people misunderstand is the shaft parallel position so what we’re really looking for at shaft parallel coming down to hit a draw we’re looking when that shaft gets back parallel with the ground that club head needs to be fractionally behind your hands as you then release the left hand into impact Club face lines up hit that dead straight and as the left hand keeps rotating that shaft parallel on the way through I’ll do this to the other camera for a minute cuz I want you to see the club face after you’ve hit it so we can see that club face is now about 35° close and vertical that’s a perfect position to help all new golf mates hit that perfect perfect perfect big high bomb [Music] draw so ball position pressure side Bend side bended chaff parallel release the club with your hands and arms big hyraw one of the ways I I explain it to people and it’s a bit of a strange one because everybody really does want to get an idea about turning we know that 80% of the distance that we hit driver is pretty much with the hands and arms from Shaft parallel to shaft parallel because your body’s decelerated so what we’re going to do and please don’t try this at home whatever you do don’t try this at home this is for demonstration purposes only my body can’t do a whole heap from there all I can do is hit that with my hands and arms little baby buet draw so I’m showing all the golf mates out there that turning is super dangerous yeah your turning motion happens as a response to a perfect swing in motion of the club in your arms so if I make a little swing the club of my arms are moving as I make that swing longer with my arms connected to my chest my shoulders start to turn my hips start to turn my pressure starts to move please please please don’t think about turning we want to swing first and turn second not turn first and swing second you’ll hit it way further you’ll carry it further you’ll hit that big beautiful draw that will really impress your friends right just like me you’ll probably think that is just as good as lesson you’re ever going to get on driving I love that I can’t wait till a go
