      Hey Rick, thanks for the advice. My longest drives are around 250-260. I recently read an article that the average drive distance for the casual golfer actually went down to around 218-220 yds so i am pretty happy with my current distance.

    • @DanielSilva-nn4pp
      @DanielSilva-nn4pp Před 6 lety

      So far the longest has been 270 carry, I’ve been playing for a little over a year and your videos have helped tremendously, thank you for all of your videos :-)

      335. slight down hill landing zone, hit a high bomb draw right up the center

    • @mikeslater4043
      @mikeslater4043 Před 6 lety

      Another great vid Rick. Think my longest ever was on the Par 5 10th at Roda Golf...2nd shot I hit a 9 iron onto the green. Slightly artificial though, hard fairway and it was blowing a hooley straight down the hole. ;-)

    @WestCorkWarrior Před 5 lety +17

    After watching this video on Sunday I put it into practice at my club on Monday. By leaning back I achieved an average of 15/20 yards extra distance with 86.7% fairways hit. This meant that I was using shorter irons on 2nd shots which improved accuracy. Managed 38 stable ford points despite 41 putts. Too early to say if this one adjustment was fully responsible but in my mind it was. Thanks Rick!

    @robertpfloyd Před 6 lety +4

    Thanks Rick, you've totally changed my driving game. Set-up and prep is now allowing me to free up my mind a bit. I'm more of a feel player and this has helped me rein that in prior to stepping up to the ball.

    Another good vid Rick.
    I'm glad you mentioned how important fitting is. To many of my mates just buy a drivers off shopping sites because the price is right for them, and then take them out on the course, only to end up 2 months later with another one as there's always a problem with the one they had .. shaft whips to much / lofts to low and can't get the ball in the air. The only good thing is the charity shops does well out of them, amount of time they take there clubs in.....

    @tommylynch3657 Před 3 lety

    Your videos on driver have helped me tremendously! In watching this one I realize the one thing I haven't done yet is go get some foot spray and determine where I am hitting the ball on the club face. I definitely know when I hit the sweet spot, but when I don't I am not sure why - standing to close - too far. Hitting down instead of up, etc... Thanks for these great videos!

    Great video Rick. Really need these tips as I’ve struggled with my driver over the last year and it’s absolutely killing my scores. Some of these tips I’ve already known and been able to implement. Others I know but can’t implement as easily. Any tips you can provide for someone who has a tendency to over extend their backswing?
    Longest drive is 300+ thanks to firm fairways on a downhill lie. Average is about 240-250 carry with 260+ finish.

Working on getting the drive straight now, went from shooting an average of 25 over to 20 over just by getting rid of my OOB on my drive!

  • @glennwiebe5128
    @glennwiebe5128 Před 6 lety

    Like many have said prior to, it's the driver that makes the car go fast. I've got a decent, grooved swing. However, due to long winters here in Canada coupled with health concerns, I don't get the repetitions in to make my swing truly trustworthy. My swing is fairly neutral so when I hooked two consecutive drives and then shoved one way right (just the other day), I have to keep my head and not panic. The next one was right down the middle, 294 with a tiny little draw. When I was years younger, the stars aligned and I knocked one 343. That one was measured by the course staff so I'm sure it was correct. Thanks, Rick, for these great tips. I would add that you might stress a bit more that range/course work will reinforce muscle memory so that they can know where contact is made on the club face.

    A week ago at age 45 and just starting to play again after taking 15 yrs off, with your tips on removing slice drives, 355yds on a flat straight par 5. Carried about 310-320...soft 8 iron to the green. Longest carry was 340 at the age of 29. It was a wet day and it actually plugged on the landing right next to the 150 yd stick on a slight down hill 490yd par 4. Both shots were with Srixon soft feel balls

  • @stangcobr
    @stangcobr Před 6 lety

    Great Video for beginners Rick. Another thing novices fail to do is having knee flex throughout the backswing and follow through, they tend to stand up on their heels through impact...

  • @kevinmontgomery1054
    @kevinmontgomery1054 Před 6 lety

    Love your stuff Rick! Please answer a few questions. 1. If a higher launch angle is desired why tilt your body to hit up with a 9-10.5 degree driver instead of swinging level using a 12 degree driver? 2. Hitting tape on the driver face shows my strike location varies in a straight line from low heel to high toe. The harder I swing the more variation in strike location I get. Any drills to help strike the center more consistently? 3. Too often hitting harder just means the ball flies 20 yards further into the rough, bushes, water, etc. I would gladly give up 20 yards to be on the fairway consistently. Your anti-slice videos are helping but I think I need more details about the following topics. What is the difference between keeping the lead arm straight versus bending the elbow in the back swing? In the back swing the wrists bend to create lag; at what part of the down swing should they unbend. How close to the body should the trail elbow be during the downswing. When I start my down swing and rotate my hips my shoulders also tend to rotate causing me to swing out to in resulting in a slice. What are the shoulders supposed to do and what are drills to help me fix my down swing?

    About 30 years ago, I hit one 360 and never came close to that again. (I’d be happy with 260 these days.) It was flat, no wind, but the Arizona summer had the fairways rock hard. I got a great kick off the back slope of a bunker and a lot of roll.
