RingerDaMan asked:
In this golf lesson golf instructor Steve Bishop discusses some tips on how to hit the driver. He also explains some reasons golfers have a difficult time swinging the driver.
thats a damn heavy couch
These are really great and practical tips. Some simple things to remember: feet about shoulder with apart, athletic stance, club head lined up with your inside front foot and getting the club head back on plane before impact.

this is very very helpful ang wonderful tips too!
Thanks for the tips , I will keep this in my mind and be part of my routine ,
nice tip really helped
i got told, good point
U don’t hit the ball; the driver hits the ball.
i thought u hit the ball not the DRIVER???
Spend A Hour At The Driving Range With Just Your Drivers Or Hybrids (3-4) Or Your Woods That Are Really Aluminum Now Days And Line It Up As Normal Dont Grip It Too Tightly Let The Club Do The Work.Take Aim At The F-Way And Go Easy And Slow On The Back-Swing And Then Let It Explode But Follow Thru Like Its Nothing And Turn Your Body Toward The Swing Only After You Have Hit The Ball. It Does Not Matter How Hard You Swing That Driver,The Drive Will Only Go As Far As Final Club Head Speed At Impact.
swing more inside… and make sure your club head is sitting on the ground like its supposed to
i have a problem with my swing:
40% of the time ill hit the ball and it will go far (225 yd. approx) and and straight as a line and 60% of the time ill either slice the ball or it will just skid the ground and barely go anywhere
suggestions please!
Hey it would be awesome if you would check out my new swing videos and maybe offer some advice. Thanks a bunch.
very informative thank you!
very good..love the “like i’m about to pick up a couch method” LOL
Good stuff! Thanks Steve!
Great tip about hand position at address/impact…helped me a great deal. Thx.
The tip about checking the correct spine angle at address by holding the shaft from the chin is an absolute pearl. Thanks Steve you’re a clas act man!
nice tips Steve. Thank you for taking the time to produce this video
Added a nice extra couple opf yards onto my swing.
Thanks alot great advice!!!
well thought out Steve. this particular video answers a lot of question all the way from ball position to hand position to axis tilt and how one should arrive at each.
you forgot to mention something very important about set up for a driver. if you hover the club with the ball in the middle of the face, and let it drop, the ball will always fall towards the toe end. many good drivers tee the driver off the toe. this is only if you dont wish to hold the club up for very long
I let it ground during the setup. Check out my pre-shot routine video to see why.
As for technique, do you first set the club behind the ball, then your first move is to hover the head or start out with the club above the ground. Seems like I remember Nicklaus never grounded his irons or woods. Thanks for the info.
You know, I have never really given that any thought. I have always grounded with the irons and hovered for the driver (although sometimes I forget). I will have to experiment with this a bit. GREAT question!
