For the first time ever, I can draw my tee shot with this tip, thanks mate, good job Chris.

You have no idea how realizing this has helped my drive. It has never occurred to me I had a closed club face at address. No one ever told me and I would have never closed it knowingly. I feel as if I've won the lottery. Good by SLICE hello FAIRWAY. Thank you so much!

It is amazing how much I didn’t know about striking a ball. I am learning (trying to) so much watching your videos, thanks for all you do for the sport.

Excellent explanation and demonstration Chris! I've struggled for years with a slice and have always focused on trying to release the wrist earlier in the swing which is very hard to make timing right. This is the answer. It has worked terrifically for me. So simple and has made me much more consistent with my drive! Genius....thanks Chris!

...if you've struggled for years with a slice, then why would you ever trust yourself to know what the answer is?

Where has this video been all my life! Makes absolute total sense with swing path and after watching hundreds of driver swing tutorial this is the only one that explains what causes a out to in swing path. Thanks Chris

Thanks Chris. This is the first tip I have found regarding the correct handle position . You described my problem with my hands too far back and the club head too open. Enjoy all your tips. Hitting most of the fairways now rather than pushing or slicing my driver to the right. Stay safe.

Quite literally the most informative golf coach on youtube. You have a great way of presenting so we can easily understand the concepts.

This has changed my game, a definite eureka moment, you a life saver Chris cheers 🥂

This had me grinning from ear to ear, I can't wait to try this. All this time I've been setting up wrong. I went from a ugly slicer to a now terrible puller but must admit my pulls are very solid, hard and straight. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks

Chris, this is the first time this has been explained I have experimented in handle position bit it did not occur to me this I was encouraging a slice.. Great Video thanks

This is gonna help me , suffering from some pull/hooks, and i set up exactly as you showed in the beginning, with the handle back. Clear, precise instruction with no waffle in between . cheers Chris, keep posting mate

Great tip! just tried this adjustment out on the range and it feels so much more comfortable. was driving it the best I have in a long time

I finally fixed my "Toe Hits Plague" using these tips. I use impact tape. I built my set up as you advised. My first hits were not so much on the toe as usual. You said something about the head being six inches behind the ball, so I "Built" my setup around a spot about six inches behind the ball. I then proceeded to produce seven center strikes on my impact tape. I am 68 years old so I need every bit of an advantage against the 30 year olds I play against in league. Thank you so much from Bay City , Michigan USA

Wow. I have been struggling with high slice on bad drives. I tried this today and the results were instant and superb. Worked a treat. Thanks!

New golfers like me really appreciate your expertise. Thanks a lot.

Best set up video I have seen yet, thank you Chris. I have been tending to try and close the driver head more to eradicate the slice but this shows how incorrect this is and definitely need to get my handle forward more.

I can’t believe how good this topic is. I have been struggling with my driver (left and hook) for years! This is gold!

Video was a life saver for me. I developed a slice out of nowhere and couldn't hit my driver more than 200 yards. I just could not figure out what was going on with my swing hitting driver. Adjusting my hands forward my swing speed speed jumped from 90 to 107 and I'm now back to averaging 280 yards with driver. Thanks Chris!

Chris, this tip worked wonders. I had lost confidence on my driver until trying this. I played today and hit the driver flush and straight every time.

The most important video on the internet. I knew this but hitting way too many irons lately and forgot how to drive 😂 thanks Chris i will get back on track now great stuff 🎉

Went out and did what you said and it made a huge difference in the direction of the ball, thanks so much for the advice!

Chris, this is brilliant, as with all your videos the delivery if flawless. Congratulations.

Chris love your videos you make it simple to understand I am 70 and hitting my 3 wood 200m straight thank you 🙏

Thanks Chris, had a bad few months but this tip has sorted me right out. When playing you never realise how the handle position looks from a front angle. Keep up those videos mate, really good stuff :)

Just to say thank you! Comfortable with my short game, but never been able to to hit a driver properly ever. This video gave me the cues to hit the driver better than I ever have.

Great tip. Can't wait to put it into play. Thank you.

wonderful info chris.. sometimes i stand at address with my driver and cant work out why the face looks closed. this leads to all sorts of strike problems..this tip has transformed my driving .. so so happy

Great video Chris. It's funny when you watch someone show you a drill how to correct a fault in your swing, and say "that makes perfect sense and so easy!" Definitely will practice that on the range. Thanks Chris

Great tip, no one talks about this and yet it was so important.

Great video Chris. I was falling in the same visual trap by having my hands too far behind the ball and I would push the ball unless I made an over the top move to pull the ball back on target. Thanks!!

I used this tip today and had one my best days for driving. Thanks for the tip!

Finding some gems in your archive. Thanks Chris!

Great explanation and an area I've NEVER thought of. Been trying to hit up on the Driver but couldn't understand why, despite my set up being correct ie spine tilt, ball position, often my tee peg would fly forwards. Tried this last week and my tee peg stayed in the ground and on one occasion it shot behind me. I had the handle too far back with trying to hit up rather than forward. Great video. This makes it easier to stay behind the ball and create a lower point in the arc further back in the swing

This is one of the finest tips I have gotten in a long long time. I did not realize that my hands were really that far behind the ball at address; for a long time I was always afraid to pull the trigger, my miss hits has been a pull, or hook now I know that I won't miss left at all, now I either hit a baby draw, a straight ball or a straight push. I am 58 years old and just today I stepped up to the tee on hole number 9 and hit a 343 yard drive. thank you so very much, now I play with unbelievable confidence, simply incredible!!!

Great tip Chris. I play off 10 and thought I already had the handle position set up correctly for the driver, but on re-checking after watching your video, I saw that it was still too far back and the clubface was slightly closed. A couple of tweaks and I've immediately gained 20 to 25 yards in distance and because the club is now square and the ball is launching much higher, I'm hitting more consistently straight. Such a simple check but absolutely vital to make the most of your driver's capabilities.

Thanks for video.. was struggling for about 2 months w driver.. went out today, back to hitting it solid in middle of the face.. 285yd little draws all day long. thanks again

hi chris u have completly changend my driver with this vidio,i drove every hole today straight 275 average 310 biggest thanks v much andy shack cleck

Great video, took your advice down to the range and what a game changer.

Setup has so many little check marks ✅ and that one is a very great one to add to the list. Thx for sharing Chris ! Nice swing btw 🏌️‍♂️

Best tip for hitting the driver somewhat where you want it and at least in play is to slow down your backswing and only swing it at about 70% of your max speed! Which means a balanced in control swing where you only have to worry about contact. Distance will come with skill and time so don’t let how far it flys destroy your accuracy

This is just superb, been searching for "do you hit a 3 wood like an iron?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.

Awesome video Chris! I've been struggling with this for the past few months. My miss was a terrible smother hook. You aren't kidding when you say moving the handle forward will feel "alien" but it certainly has helped me get off the tee with better success. Thanks again!

Hi Jack Jarvis thanks for the comments and glad you found the video helpful

Great tip.!! Most of my drives are down the left side of fairway some O. B. And the handle is pointed at my belt buckle, when I try to adjust my swing I normally get a slice, will try this new setup on next round, thanks, my game is always under construction 👷

Gave this a try this afternoon during a quick nine hole round , felt so much better and I hit the big stick so much better! Aint hit that many solid fairway finders in along time and not one dreaded slice/cut... Hopefully youve got the ball rolling for me here Thank you Chris for the super tip and cant wait to hunt down some more great tips on your channel

Handle forward works great, thanks Chris.

This has help me out a lot. Now I just need to get my aim together. I'm hitting it a lot straighter and long. Thanks.

Excellent tip Chris clearly explained.

I know this is an oldie but it’s a goodie! It sure made a difference for me. Thanks Chris

você é fera demais,continue com seus maravilhosos ensinamentos,estou melhorando bastante!

The teaching pro i had a lesson with this past weekend taught the same thing. It all starts with the correct setup. Takes a little getting used to but it works. Converted my slice into a nice small draw

Always funny watching the old videos...you were given great instruction back the too!!👌👍

Good grief I think you have nailed my problem... I've always been told to lean the shaft away from the ball .. and yet when I see tony finau address his hands are definitely looking to be more forward .. thank you Chris it's down to the range later to experiment xx

Hi Chris great tip describes my set up exactly, A lot of my drives start left then curve further left and some hook pull hook sharply low left. take it because my face is aiming that way to start with its gonna be hard for it do much else! great channel thanks for all your tips and vlogs.

Video of the year!!!!!! Awesome.

This video is an excellent explanation for driver. Thank you. 😊

I didn’t realise how much handle position at setup and impact can have an impact on face angle and ultimately shot shape - a real eye opener. Cheers, Chris!

Fantastic instruction. I do exactly that....hands behind the ball and swing over the top sometimes hitting the ball into the ground inches away from the tee. Thanks I'll give this a go.

Love the video about where the handle is for irons. Now I cant wait to try this tomorrow with my driver thank you

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!

Super advice. I feel in control now with the driver. Thanks Chris. I owe you a few pints of Guiness.

I've tried this recently after seeing Rory's setup from the front. I was hitting much more consistent, higher, longer drives and feeling like I was swinging much more in to out rather than over the top. Before when I had the shaft leaning back more, I was hooking and slicing it way more.

Making a handle adjustment really worked ball flight was consistent straight. Baby draw and sometimes baby fade but dispersion was very playable makes sense face open to target line and promotes more of a outside in swing. And seems to make a draw much simpler thanks cheers bill Mack

Thanks Chris, very useful tip, as always

Wow, this is great stuff, Chris. I honestly had no idea, and this makes all the sense. Looking at videos of myself, I have the handle back and either have a big slice, or this past year, more commonly a really bad pull, and just overall poor contact no matter what. Looking at a video I took of Rory at the Memorial, you're spot on, his shaft is in the spot you talk about. I thought I was doing it right all this time. Will definiitely work on this. Thanks for the tip!

Really interesting video Chris. My bad drive isn't a slice but a destructive pull shot and I know I have a tendency to set my hands as you describe. Looking forward to making some changes next time I'm at the range. Cheers.

Well done Chris! I get the leftsies with my set up (almost a dead pull sometimes) so this helped.

Hi Chris, Great video!! - I tried it on a simulator a few days ago using flight scope and it made a big difference in stopping my persistent fade and added some distance. But the biggest difference was when I played on the course and kept every drive in play and most on the fairway - my best score in years - Thanks very much!

Makes total sense and I definitely do this. Thanks

Superb, thank you for clarifying so well!

thanks Chris will take that into my round today, and let you know how it went..

mr.chris that's a very good tips, thanks from Malaysia!

Brilliant Chris, thanks.

It took a couple rounds but this literally fixed and saved my driver game. Ball goes further and straighter with more control.

Great vid. I think you just exactly explained what I am doing wrong with the driver. Gonna give it a try.

Very clear. Great videos

I did this last week on a practice round and hit better drives, and I gained about 30 yards off the tee. Many Thanks Chris 🏌️‍♂️👍

very good tips Chris!

Brilliant!! Thanks for this simple yet very informative explanation! I now know why my drives always slice, as I exaggerate the position of the club face to point more to the left to compensate for the left to right flight of the ball! Thanks Chris!!

Amazing TIP🔥Thank youu🙌🏼

Interesting information. I will go to the driving range and apply your technique to my driver approach. Thanks 😊

brilliant tip on position of driver handle chris cheers

Great point Chris..it seem to be my shot ..hand behind..and now I see why the slice is promotion..thanks i am playing tomorrow I will work on that and let you know what happens.! Thanks

Makes sense. I'll try it out. I think the set up idea is great. Adjusting the stance instead of the club is probably what I need. We will see

Great lesson, thank you!

I really appreciate the explanation Chris

Great advice Chris I will on the practice ground later.
