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.
Best instructor on CZcams
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!
Absolutly. I love the way he explains it.
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!!
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.
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.
Very well explained. Thank you for the video.
I absolutely love this guy!!!! I'm ready for Tomorrow now!
Production quality is getting so good on your videos! The instruction has always been golden.
Your videos are always impressive. Just top notch instruction.
Thanks as always 👍
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!
This ia pure gold !! Thanks for sharing
This is one of the best driver instruction I’ve ever seen, thank you
Beautifully explained, the best ever I have seen👍
You are a credit to our last name! Clear, concise and to the point that also shows things I do wrong! Keep it going!
I like the way u demo n explain, making things very clear. Keep it up n thanks 👍
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. So well explained.
Thanks mate, great and very clear video 😎
Thanks again for helping us to improve our swing 🙏
Thanks Jonathan, your instructions are always so clear and helpful
Brilliant explanation, love the shoulder up analogy. I’ll give this a try when next at the range. 👌
Absolutely hands down the best video I have seen with regard to hitting up on the driver. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😊
Love this instruction, thanx
Wow, awesome video. Thank you.
Fantastic video explaining how to hit the driver up.
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.
Your way of teaching is brilliant Jon. It sinks into my brain ❤
Happy to hear that!
Great video! Thank you JKM!
Great tips.
This is really good!
Brilliant lesson best on u tube
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
Excellent 👌🏻
Solid video
Great teaching! Very nice job of explaining how to hit up with the driver. Keep up on the great videos, you have earned a like and follow from me..
This is exactly what I need. Looks like I'll be chipping lots of drivers this week.
The short takeaway swing with back elbow tucked is my my swing exactly when I first started playing golf I could drive the ball well and was very good with my irons shirt game was horrible now it’s reversed short game good the rest of the game horrible I know this video is going to fix my issues thank you your very good at explaining your point in what your trying to teach
Thanks!
Thank you.
Great instructions! Would also be cool if we can see a slow motion from the front and from the side during the swing so we can observe your swing.
Thank you for this! Good visual help!
JKM is the MAN!
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
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?
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?
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
Why not watch more carefully? Goes behind.
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.
Tried this drill at the range. Trackman measured 250yds carry; for the head cover!
😂
I’m struggling with this right now. I think you may have helped me identify some flaws.
Do you give virtual lessons? If so, how does it work

So as i don't pull my arms in should I address the ball from the toe
having played for 3 years now i have confidence in irons but driver is hit and miss im hoping to try this to reduce my spin
How do you realse the clubhead then from that position at inpact johnathan? Cause your left rib cage and left arm are connected you able to explain that aspect post inpact
Do you mind sharing what your avg attack angle is with driver? And what a good range is for an amateur. Thanks!
For me I swing it usually 0-2 degrees up with the driver. Everyone should strive for around that as well.
How about releasing club in driver swing?
I recently got a Precision Impact unit after watching your videos. Is there an obvious reason why I can only get one click on the back swing? Sorry off topic.
Not enough trail wrist extension
Hi JKM, I drove 50 balls on a Sim and I was 4d up on attack and 1.0d out to in path but I was missing both left and right all the time, how can I sort the face angles?
I will need to see your swing to know for sure.
Anyone knokw what Driver he's using in this demo? Haven't seen an all white driver since the TM SLRD
With the head stay behind, I tend to hit the ground behind the ball 🤔 😅
I am 75 yrs old struggling with my driver and irons need help any suggestions.. do u.give lesdond

Where are you doing lessons
I am based in Singapore right now
@@JKMGolf ok not in Mississauga
@@JKMGolfhi I am also in Singapore. Can I take physical lessons from you?
Incredible as always. Jonathan has made me delete all other bookmarks, focusing on having only one video coach.
Great videos - BUT the music overlay towards the end is off-putting IMO - but thank you for the videos...
Noted!
Ahahahah people had to stop hitting so a staff can pick up my headcover 😅 This is totally my bad
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! 😩
I recently read somewhere that tour pros, on average, hit down 1.2° with driver. Evidently, Ping has some research on this and the best drivers in the world do not actually hit up with the driver.
Don’t do too much redundant demo
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks!
thanks alot! glad I could help
