I'm 71 and like many of us hackers, the driver has always been my nemesis - always hated it. Until I tried what you're suggesting. I now place my feet no more than 2 clubhead width apart and slightly flare my lead foot. Now, nearly every strike it straight and about as far as I can possibly hit it as my age. Straight is king. This is no longer a drill, it IS my swing.

Setting up with the driver club head about 6 to 8 in h behinde the ball helped me cure my slice i hated the driver for years one simple change of position instantly stopped the slice i live the driver now and can not wait to get her out 250-260 carry and absolutely love it i can hot the ball with my eyes closed now aswell aslonh as i set up correctly first with the ub head 6 to 8 inch behinde the ball and just launch her

I went to my local golf store to get fitted for new clubs because I am 73 and can't hit the ball very far anymore. After 1-1/2 hours of trying the fit me he brought over their Pro teacher because we could not figure out how to fit the club. I was hitting the toe 100% of the time and topping the ball many times. He watched me for a couple minutes and had me move my feet about 2 feet closer together, I hit the center of the club and hit the 7 iron 155 years. I normally hit it 100 yards and top the ball 30% of the time. We decided I needed lessons before I get new clubs. I told him I felt like my feet were basically standing together. Your video perfectly explains my problem.

Been playing golf for many years. My old high school coach would have us all do this drill. I remember a kid on our team adapted it as his swing as it worked so well. I had completely forgotten about it….as I am now 68! So yesterday, I’m playing horribly and was desperate and for some reason on the 14th hole remembered it. So on the tee box I placed my feet together and hit a beautiful drive! Finished the round this way with a complete turnaround in my swing! Got home all excited and googled feet together drill. Found this video and you confirmed my thoughts! Just subscribed. I feel this really coordinated my arms and hands as the leaders of my swing and not the body..club head speed much faster and crisp hitting through the ball. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Playing later today and excited for results.

@allandickson8576 11 ай бұрын

This actually helps your contact and follow through to keep it on a straight line through the ball - For the high handicap golfer with a wide stand who swings approx 90mph, it will drop you down to about 80 / 85 mph but contact and follow throgh will actually give you about a 25 yard gain on your driver as will not be coming across the ball. Will also stop those duffs / slices, duck hooks and skyballs. Oh and you will stop those power leaks before striking the ball.

@TheBasstead1 7 ай бұрын

Don't give up on your swing speed. You have to learn the new release point for your new stance. Figure this out and you will be swinging just as fast if not faster. Closing your stance probably has you releasing too far past the ball. You must now release the club sooner. Use a golf impact bag to learn your new release point. New release point is hitting slightly up at contact.

@ericehrnsberger8298 11 ай бұрын

This is crazy awesome. I will def give this a try my next trip to the range. I feel when I swing the drive, my body, sways, leans and turns way to fast which leaves the club behind me causing slice. This technique makes so much sense cause I see that it keeps your body from losing control as I seen to do. Thanks again Alex, your the best!

@TheBasstead1 7 ай бұрын

No. You are leaving the club behind you, but you are casting from the club not staying with your upper body, causing you to swing outside in, producing your slice. It is physically impossible to swing on plane if your right shoulder gets too far ahead of your hands.

I was spread out all summer long this year (2023) - just spread out feet so wide shoe a 18 wheeler could drive they.. this post weekend i narrowed my feet (like this teaching) and was crushing my drives. Plus it helped me have a into/out swing which produced a draw,. This really helps guys especially if your spread out and spray everything to the right weak weak fades. Try this it really works

i actually discovery it by accident as i was struggling with my drivers all the time. then one day i decided to be more upright stance and feet much closer even slightly closer than on my irons for my driver and it forced me to "rotate" . and i did not even had to swing too hard. my drives were consistent 200-210m ( total) and days when the star aligns 240m :D i am swinging only around 91-96mph . That said it really help me so much to hit my driver straighter. some days when bad habits creep in i always go back to the basics of that drill.. seeing this video validates what i am doing. thank you for sharing this awesome tip.

Hi Alex , Today I tried your video tip at my local range, and oh boy, what a transformation 😮 once I slowed my swing , i kept losing balance 😂 , my ball striking was pretty awesome, really crisp and the ball speed jumped up too. Last April, I weighed 22 stones and have been on a diet with slimming world, and now 16:08lb, and as you can imagine, my swing was all over the place as I continued to lose weight but this drill has taught my body how to swing ❤ can't thank you enough ❤ thank you ...

The summer that I improved my swing the most - I had joined a driving range. Since I could hit all the balls I wanted, I "experimented" with drills. I actually did this - swinging driver with feet touching - and was shocked that it would solidly improve accuracy (though I did lose some distance). I did end up altering my driver stance to being more like my old 5 iron stance (feet only about 15 inches apart. I have since gone back to almost 30 inches - but am going to try this again. I'm 62 years old, and I realize I will probably turn better with my feet closer together.
