Thank you so much ; great instruction.

Thanks for this tip! Holding my handle lower gives me a naturally better take away, and back swing. This little change makes everything about my swing feel much better. Thanks again! 😊

I recently became aware of centrifugal forces that impact the club head on my swing. I’m actually setting up with my club abut a ball back of the center mark. It has increased my distance massively! Your tip on toe up and grip should help with straightening out my drive. Thank you

Thought about this before and wondered if the driver toe up at address could cause the bottom to hit the ground and shut down the face at impact (like an iron does). This video helps prove toe slightly up is actually correct and the intended lie at address. Great stuff. Learned/confirmed something today. Go figure. Thanks Coach!

Interesting. Excited to try. Thx Coach

Thnx for the tip 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Thank you. Really useful and actionable knowledge.

Outstanding vid. I know I struggle with my driver set up, including ball position.

Going to try this method. Looks like a very good system to address the ball properly.

Coach! I tried this at the range the other day after battling a slice. I can report back that this absolutely worked! I hit 12 shots. 4 drew left, 6 straight, 2 hint of fade. Before this change I’d hit on average 11 slices! Some 30 yards plus. Amazing!

Really helpful. I’ve always set my driver up level but I’ll switch now. Cheers

Never thought of this. Thank you

This is useful and easy to understand video. The photo with math and physic explanation is quite useful 👍👏

Simple, informative, useful. I like it. Thanks.

Love this tip. I think I tend to have the club too flat. Excited to test this out!!!

Great advice coach. 2 more questions: once you’ve gotten the driver toe up, should the face of it be pointing up as well, and should the face be square to target or slightly open to target? Cheers.

can't wait to try it in my next driving session! definitely having slice problems due to wrong setup!

Brilliant! Thank-youi.

Can you maybe do a video for driver setup when you adjust the loft and how that face angle should be set up? One part when the club is de-lofted and the face angle is open and another part where the club is lofted and the face ange is closed, compared to when the driver is set to neutral at the hosel?

Excellent thanks!!

Man. I was struggling with my nice ping g430ax driver and i watch your video, i didnt even practice? I measure my tee cup to the middle of the club and use it to hit in the middle. Wow i was smoking that driver straight, for golfers thats the best tip you gave to hit straight drive. Thanks a lot

Thank you very much. Never heard such a thing and always wondered about it. I’’ give it a try . Thanks again

came across you randomly and what you say here is something I've never thought of so ill definitely be looking at this when I go the driving range next time, although I don't drive the "usual" way I don't "lock" my wrists when I drive, I start twisting my hips bending my wrist the letting my wrist follow in a way that my wrist are on like a delay to the rest of my body, why? I have no idea it just feels right and it helps me hit longer and more importantly straighter drives lol

Nice tips... very clear info. Merci!

Don’t know how many times I’ve tried to hit the ball a little outside center. I think after all these years it now in my DNA to always aim for the center.

I was definitely wondering . . . Going to try this

This makes a lot of sense. As a single plan player, I sometimes have the handle of the driver too upright and as you have demonstrated this results in high poor fade/slice shots.

This is no joke. I have been struggling with the driver lately and I must admit I am guilty of positioning the driver handle too high. I went to the range today after viewing this video and I probably hit 17 out of 20 balls beautifully! The dispersion on even my missed shots is so much better I could not believe it. This is my first video that I have seen with Coach Lockey and you now you have a new fan and subscriber. Cheers from Arizona.

Went and did a GCQuad session and my local indoor simulator… and was horrified to see on average a toe down dynamic lie of 5-7 😮. That could explain why my “bomb balls” were only 1 out of 27 😂. I’ve been so concerned with my vertical ground forces and getting a good shoulder tilt that my hands at address are completely neglected. 😂 Tonight, I’m so thankful to be catching up on my Coach vids!… this is defiantly getting incorporated in my next session! #lockeyarmy 🏆

HAHA, that is a strong video request. I will work on it.

A couple years ago a adjusted my address to a high handle. Haven't hit slices ever since.

So what’s the most common shot if your IRONS are too much toe down? Because I recently started putting more toe up at address on irons and I’m now getting cleaner and straighter shots. I’m wondering if I was too much toe down originally when I thought it was level. I used to have a lot of thin hits, chunks, and fades before.

@CoachLockey

Ай бұрын

Toe down shots will likely start right of target….. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nI6AzqOpm9W9hcY.htmlsi=jO1nkIuvoiXC3GZG

Noway am I going to slide it in first then grip it. I'm going to grip it, then slide it in just like coach lockey does it!

You float the club head prior to take away, ow does that affect the lie of the club head? Is it less if an issue if you float the face?

@CoachLockey

8 ай бұрын

It doesn’t affect it. If I put it back on the ground it will be in the toe up position each time 👍

I get what you are trying to say regarding the angle of the club, but when you slide your club into the correct position, you then "Hover" the club? Does that not raise the heel more?

@CoachLockey

8 ай бұрын

Once I have set myself up and I’m in the correct spot, moving after doesn’t matter as you have set it at the beginning. If I put my club down again after a few wiggles it would still be in the same spot.

Interesting video but this raises a question for me: Irons are adjusted in length/lie based on things like wrist-floor measurement and overall height. Driver is not, why not? A taller person will naturally deliver a standard driver more upright than a shorter person?

Coach I have set my Driver shaft to the more upright position ,no lower loft ,no higher loft ,just the upright setting and now I don't have a slice or a fade anymore .No one talks about how important lie angle is with the driver .most golf You Tubers say that the upright setting is only for taller players Wrong I'm 168cm 5 ft 8inches and it works just fine .All you slicers out there .give it a try maybe you will just find how to get rid of your slice .Lie Angle matters Thanks Coach
