Hi everyone, would love to know what setup mistakes you fall into? (Doesn’t have to be one of these)
I've been playing for about 25 years and never really well with the driver. I loved Jack Nicklaus and always imitated his forward press, it seems I need to take that forward press out of my swing, at least for the driver, to see if I can improve my drives. Thanks for the great explanation.
@@DawgDaddy I’m a huge fan of the forward press as it starts the swing with momentum but it’s key you’re not re gripping or anything quirky like that
As a life time slicer of the ball i loved this video. my driving got so bad the driver came out the bag and into the garage for 3 seasons. however following your "drive it like a pro video "i am now driving the longest ,straightest drive of my life and absolutely love my driver, what you highlighted in this video is my go to set ups , and if players follow this as you explain it ,it will fix the poorest drivers of the ball out there, believe me folks i was one of them. now the driver is a real weapon on the course for me. Thank you Giles keep up the amazing content.
That’s amazing to hear! So glad my content has been able to help you get the driver under control
@@Gilesgillgolf thanks to the way you explain it so clearly, i have come to the conclusion in golf to be successful you need to understand what is needed to do what you want to achieve. once i understood the driver swing i went about it a completely different mind set and after alot of time on the range it came together.
now im watching your wedge videos and improving them. cant thank you enougth.
@@stevewherry6205 no problem Steve! Glad I could help
You will not believe the success I’ve had driving the ball after watching this on the range. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I’ve watched many videos and none gave me the results of this one. Thank you 🙏🏽
Amazing! Goes to show how important the setup position is!
this channel is a gem. best teacher
Thank you!
OMG! Where have you been all my (golfing) life!? I have taken so many lessons, and no one has ever explained it quite like u. I am a drills person. Ur drills are perfect. The thing u said that made the most sense to me is, ppl are always saying set the ball off ur front toe or inside heel, and like u said I always said that was too far fwd and I felt like I was chasing or reaching for the ball. And of course, I kept slicing it. When I put it back in my stance I hit a straighter (not straight😊) ball. But when u said that u are the 1st person to say what I have been saying all along. My biggest flaw is in trying turn and create power I sway off the ball and then sway back instead of turning. And then I am way off the ball and produce inconsistent hits. I really think watching ur videos I will get it right. Thank u. Thank u very much.
Hi Mary, great to hear you enjoyed the video. It will be worth checking out my complete driver guide as that will big time help you!
@@Gilesgillgolf Thank u, I will.
Excellent. For me, the shaft position is key to a great drive. ☺️☺️
It’s crucial!
Excellent summation and demonstration Giles on Driver Set Up! I try to adhere to all that you are advocating, however, I believe my most constant error is in my right side tilt. Tomorrow, I will be in a men's club tournament and will definitely pay attention to this aspect and report back to you about my success. As Always, Well Done Giles!
Amazing John! Keep me posted
Hi Giles, can you do a video explaining which is the dominant arm right or left during the downswing and to the finish position. Your instructions are the best I have seen on TH-cam, thank you.
That depends what arm dominance you are as a person. Thank you!
Giles your my favorite TH-cam instructor now, most TH-cam people are like you need to do this.... Then don't explain why or what your actually trying to do. We still need putting, different bunker shots, hitting on different slopes, how lie changes what you can do and should do. I wanna hear your explanation.
Had a bunker shot where i could barely see the top of the ball didn't know what to do, do i just swung really hard. (Result couple inches moved at least it was on top of the sand lolz)
I currently am at a facility who don’t have great places to fill these. You’ll need to be patient and wait as these videos will come out but not till I’m at a better facility
very easy to follow and understand. My ball position was all wrong and now I know way . Thank you
The step is know what you’re trying to achieve! Glad I could help
Nice the video i like and i appreciate
Thank you!
Wow, great point about being aware of the shaft lean before you grip. Been a +hdcp for years and have never thought about this. Some days my grip just feels off with the driver (I'm a hooker) and I just messed around with being conscious of the shaft lean before I grip and it feels amazing.
Amazing! Often the small things make the biggest difference
Great lesson, took this to the course today. Wonderful baby fades Woo hoo. My ball was way to forward, thanks for making look at my set up again. :)
Fantastic! A small change but had big results
Excellent explanations, thank you very much!
Great to hear you enjoyed it!
I did my fitting and got stealth 2. Absolutely bombing it over my rkt ballz stage 2
Amazing! Technology has come on so far!
Bestsss technical of golf swing.
Thank you!
Love these...keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Now one
❤ good work
Thank you
Fantastic video thanks
Thank you!
Explained it perfectly, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this video
Thank you!
Great video! These tips lined me right out!
Amazing! Glad I could help
Excellent video, very good explanations and a nice, at least for me, innovative way of thinking about driver setup 👍
Thank You! Glad you liked it!
I can relate to the the grip and open club face. Everything u said in this video hits home. Neutral grip? Ok, so fwd shaft creates the downward blow upon impact, eh?
Neutral grip is fine but shaft lean doesn’t mean you’ll hit down. You can hit upwards with shaft lean
@@Gilesgillgolf Thank you. Thank you.
Great tips!
Glad you like them!
Thanks helped me on my first shot
Amazing!
I love this video
Thank you!
Love this 💕
Thank you!
I never knew this. This is good to know.
Is there a lesson for proper iron setup?
Yes I have some videos already on it
I've watched this before but unable to test it but at the range now and I've never hit 3 balls as well in a row. 👍👍
Incredible! Glad this helped
Thanks!
Thank you!!
I really like this video as I have watched it at least twice! But I have a quick question. If we are suppose to hit up on the ball wouldn’t we want a ball position forward of the low point of the swing not at the low point??
Thank you
Pga tour angle of attack average is -1.5. Are we supposed to hit up?
Excellent
Thank you!
Great video excellent guide but now my low point is further behind the ball. Could i be dropping my shoulder?
Watch my driver myth video (talks exactly about this)
Great video. Definitely will use your guide to practice my driver shot. You can say i am a beginner and for couple of months i was hitting and improving my driver keeping the ball fairly straight or light fades but improving. Unfortunately my clubs were ran over and ended buying a new set cobra graphite regular flex (same flex). Now i cant hit my driver, majority of my shots are heel and low, creating horrible shots. Can you give advice on what potential causes these heel shots? Is it the graphite clubs? Thank you!
There can be so many causes but yes the shaft flex might contribute
@@Gilesgillgolf thank you for your response, so even if both sets were the same regular flex regardless of steel vs graphite for the driver, it can be a contributor factor to my bad shots?
@@etejeda1984 just because a shaft is the same flex doesn’t mean it’ll react the same. Steep vs graphite react extremely different too
@@Gilesgillgolf understood I will look into that. Thank you for the great videos! Fell in love with the sport and definitely want to improve and these videos do great help.
@@etejeda1984 no problem!
Does this set up position applied to fairway woods and two hybrids how does it change of for a set up address for irons kindly advise thanks for your help Jack
Hi Jack, I’ve done videos on how to setup/hit all of these so you can see everything detailed in them 👍🏻
Great
Thank you!
Lovely
Thank you!
Could you add a few stats after you hit your driver? For example, swing speed, distance, ball flight, etc.
I can do
During my impact I have too much shaft lean and my attack angle is very negative. Now I'm slicing it.
Sounds like you’re swinging over the top
@@Gilesgillgolf yep
@@musicsky2050 so head on over to some of my videos on that topic
@@Gilesgillgolf ok!
That is exactly what I do, and everyone says, "You are coming over the top". But they don't know how to tell me how to fix it.
We also need to admit that there is some randomness in those long clubs. Short clubs you can be a lot more consistent and hit to a target with great accuracy. Long clubs like the driver, you can hit a lot further, but the accuracy and directional consistency is compromised. That is even true for touring pros. They miss fairways all the time!
Well yes but that doesn’t excuse you to have a bad setup which is what this video is about
True, but there are no guarantees. It just improves your chances of success. I’m going to try this on the range today!
@@CruceEntertainment well of course there are lots of other variables at play
Reverse pivot
Very common fault
On behalf of the left handed golfers I would like to thank you for using the word “lead” instead of left.
You’re welcome 😂
Could have explained this in half the time. Overly elaborating waffle merchant.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it and comment. You’re welcome for this high quality info for free
