In this video I will be explaining the concepts behind hitting upwards on the ball with driver. Most people have the wrong idea when it comes to this concept so I will explain the movements that are involved.

I tried the drill with the head cover about a month ago from another video and wasn't successful. Today I tried with your explanation and hit up on the ball 10 out of 10 times. I think this explanation for driver swing is one of the best.

This instructional video deserves million views. It's like a silver bullet fixing my mediocre driving skill. Can't thank you enough Jonathan! More power on your channel!

Amazingly detailed explanation of lead shoulder. You described all of my flaws. The best video I have watched from your instructions to date with the driver. Thank you!!

Thank you JKM! Your biomechanical explanation about the lead shoulder going up was very helpful. I'll try it today.

This is the best explanation. Everything is just how I just wanted it to be explained. Cause and Effect type of coaching.

Best description I've ever seen to hit up. Right now 9 degree drivers are going farther than 10.5 and I have an 88 mph swing. Makes no sense. Along with my high spin rates. Hopefully this helps me.

Hello Jonathan, Thank you for helping me with several issues. My old game is coming back! I stopped taking my irons back inside and this driver explanation took me to another level. 3 Birdies in my last round. Only issue is my 4iron. 2 worst swings of my round…help!

Great explanation, Jonathan. Your analysis about the shoulder was especially helpful. I have always struggled with hitting down on the ball with the driver, meaning that my driving is very inconsistent and contact is often horrible. I look forward to trying out tips and ideas. Your analysis is very biomechanically thorough - the best I have seen.

Watching you breakdown my swing faults with the driver is really interesting. My weight shift is pretty nice with my irons, I’ve always had an issue with spinning out with the driver, especially when I started getting more active with my hips, currently trying to keep my back to the target a little longer. I really need to send you a swing video so I can get some feedback. Spin is a killer at times

Can you make a video addressing how far you should be standing from the golf ball? And how bent over or upright a player needs to be over the ball? I feel like I am too close to the ball sometimes and this causes chicken winging, but standing too far also makes the swing feel weird. What is most optimal?

@hectorortiz8055 4 ай бұрын

The driver is one of the golf clubs that look easy but in reality the swing is critical. Jonathan explains everything with sense. My only concern is that I don’t have the flexibility of a young teenager and the swing should be in away to protect my back. If I do the swing in that way I feel more stress in the back. Jonathan I would like to watch a video addressing my concerns that is one very common for the 60 or older golfers.

Nice video but I like to ask if I use more wrist like a you said in hitting iron will it work with driver?

@xanderj822 4 ай бұрын

Thanks. I think I was staying back causing a fade or sometimes a pull. I want more of a draw/straight shot so there’s less spin, more distance

@AR-ke8wg 3 ай бұрын

Definitely the missing piece with my swing, thank you. Getting much better contact buy finding it more difficult to release.. wrists feels locked out after impact.

@jjliang7933 4 ай бұрын

very nice and detailed explaination Jonathan, may I ask where should I place my lead palm? should I place it slightly in front of the ball like hitting and iron or i should place it on the same line as the ball. thanks for clarifying

My problem isn’t “hanging back” (weight on trail foot) … my issue is my upper body moves toward the target in the downswing. … Low hooks 😡 I try to move the hips forward and keep head back (as you suggest), but the two are attached 🙄 I NEED to keep my head back, but I can’t seem to do it. Help! 😩
