- We all know that a positive attack angle is a big key to hitting longer drives, but hitting up on the driver is a lot easier than it sounds.
So in this video we're visiting Matt Wilson, Director of Instruction at Baltusrol Golf Club, to see what tips and drills he can give us to help hit up on the ball with our driver swing.

Club face down toward the ground behind you is genius.
When he did the swinging arms drill, that was an amazing visual. Like “ohhhh yea that makes sense, why don’t I do it that way.”
This video spoke my language. I was a 16 Index before I tried the hip bump. Then I shot 3 rounds in the 70’s. Simple and amazing. Thanks.
loved that video of how to hit up on the ball, the pro was a really good instructor.
Best of all the instructions videos that I have seen. 3 simple little moves to get on the right track and …improve no matter the yardage.
A. Andrus, Montreal, canada
I watched this video and made similar changes - went from hitting 220 to 260 and shot my best round ever yesterday. Thank you!
i know the feeling my 3 wood used to go same distance as driver ,250 ish, and I knew it was because I was hitting down with the driver. I'm finally hitting fairly neutral and I'm driving it 270/280
Dude! Your video came up on a google search! Exactly my issue, took it to the range today and already seeing increase in yardage with lower spin on my driver! THIS IS AWSOME! Thank you!
I just had a lesson yesterday to learn this same thing and struggled. Seeing his example of trying to hit the ball behind your feet was the key I needed to see. Thanks a ton guys! This is huge for me. Even just ordered my V3
that is by far the best lesson I've seen on here with a very easy explanation of how to ingrain that in your swing thoughts. I need to see matt for a lesson!! great job Mike!
This is the BEST vid on hitting up on the driver.. I started doing this and i went from 215 carry with a fade to 245 carry with a slight draw..My playing buddys are stunned on how much i hit it now
ps my swing speed is 95 mph
30 yard gains! That's awesome! Well done 👏
Thanks guys for all the content and taking time to help give us further instruction I appreciate your channel for my enjoyment but learning as well.
I was impressed with the 3 changes and how much of a difference it made. I am definitely taking lessons to make sure I am hitting the best I can for next season.
That was superb, I'm looking forward to the next course vlog featuring the new swing. ⛳🏌️♂️👍👍
The fact that you implemented that so quick to your swing is crazy. Looking to use some of these tips on the range! Keep the vids coming, you guys are awesome!
I also struggled with an over the top swing. Those same pointers helped me to now draw the ball. Great content.
So good! I’ve been trying to close my shoulders more at address and I never thought about bumping the pelvis towards target. Feels much easier to get into that setup!
Can't go out and try this up here in snowy Canada but took a couple practice swings in my house and I love how it feels. I have always struggled to hit up on my driver and I am excited to try this out. The tip of feeling like the ball is behind you makes soo much sense. Great video!
I used to do the same thing! I just started hitting up on the ball last year! And also that Baltusrol golf club scorecard holder is awesome!
The tilt of the hips was the lightbulb for me!!! Thanks guys for showing the lesson!!
It was fun seeing Mike get so excited about this swing change. I’ve been working on hitting up on the ball for the last year. One thing I learned that could help me in my hook miss was the tip of feeling like you’re delivering the club face toward the ground. Now I just have to work on getting my club head speed up to Mike’s.
Glad you got to enjoy BGC. Live in Springfield, NJ. Its always a tease when i drive by it. Great video. Love the set up change and the feeling of hitting behind you was a really cool tip.
Great video and great tips! I have a high slicing fade that shows up more often than not and I just went to range and only implemented the set up part and my results so far was amazing. Everything was straight or a little 5 yard fade. Hope to keep putting this to good use and see dividends on the course!!
The tilt makes a huge difference. I learned that a few months ago and it definitely helped.
I’m gonna try that hitting the ball behind the feet trick. I feel like my plane is similar to your original plane. Love the videos guys!!
Wow, you just fixed my drives. Took a 2 year break from golf from an injury and used to hit my woods so well. Lately I've just been hitting fades or slices like you were. I didn't realize I started hitting down on it when I took golf back up. Thanks bro!
Subbed!
Great video, the setup that he put you in, I’ve started doing it and it definitely helped me it up on it! That’s for posting this video, gain an extra 10 yards!!
These tips are so helpful. Unreal. I loved the reaction, "Jeez!" Frank, "Is that a draw?" :)
That was awesome 30 min lesson ... I learned new about the final drill in down swing lowering down the club first with ur arms and coming inside out vs coming outside in which is the main reason if Alice and negative attack angle.. wow👍 goin to the range for practice thanks 😊
The putting video and this one are great guys. Keep it up.
This was an amazing lesson!
That was a eye opener. Great video, thanks.
Love the fact that a simple change in setup already leads to improvement.
Excellent! Can't wait to go try this.
I think this is a great video on driving even for the beginner golfers such as myself. I’m glad you brought up the point of using the ground to push off. I hear that gives you more power, but obviously seems strange to actually practice. I’ve watched videos of the Golden Bear and he seems to push off the ground on his drive as well. Visually it defiantly looks more powerful. I’m going to try and use these tips on the range and see how it turns out. As a beginner golfer I’ve also been wondering when exactly I should release the club during my downswing. The tip about trying to hit the ball as if it were behind you is gold. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the great work.
This worked a treat for me! Cheers!
I remember when I started hitting up. What a blessing. Everything just gets easier lmao
Wish I had seen this a year ago I tried the hitting the ball behind you drill and it made a huge difference Thanks
Thanks for the video and the simple instructions that you received. I can't wait to review this video a couple of more times and then get to the range and practices these tips.
I hope I win that scorecard case.
Been working on this recently, just have to keep at it. Thanks guys!
That was pretty awesome. Solid question about leaving with reminders. I catch myself now getting into old habits when a round is going south. I then get back to the simple setup steps I was taught. Good stuff.
Thank you!
My exact struggles. I started with tilt already. Need to try out the hitting the ball way behind you move. This is a great video. Thank you
This video REALLY helped me. Thanks!
Another really great video. I learned that all it is is that simple tilt back and moving your pelvis towards the target will help hitting up on the ball, adding a lot of yards. I went to the range today and tried it, and I gained 25 yards carry!!!! Thank you so much and all your videos are the best so keep it up. Frank's putting lesson helped me as well!! I would love that Baltustrol scorecard holder so hopefully I win!
Thanks for the tip Mike
I am so excited for this guy look how happy he is, one day I hope to learn this ugh I work so hard but no bueno
Great information, I’m on the way to the range to incorporate these tips into my swing. Thank you
Really good stuff. I really like the set up and the arms swing.
Great lesson the trying to hit a ball behind your right foot. What a great visual.
what a nice drill..... Thank you!
So glad for you man!!! Keep it up
Thanks!!
Excellent demo . Slightest adjustment made all the difference from fad to lazy draw. Great
I have similar issues right now. Never had a problem until about three months ago. Now I'm pounding everything into the ground, and left. Your initial setup and delivery is exactly where I am now. I loved the way he "fixed" you without changing your grip. His fixes make sense, and are easy to visualize. That drop the hands and swing like the ball is behind you is genius.
love the video i remember a year ago i started hitting up on the ball i added bout 35 yards!!
Great video and tips, thanks guys for posting... Totally appreciate it.... I would double like this video since I have the same issue getting the ball up. I couldnt figured it out till now, cant wait till i go to the range and practice. ;)
First time commenting anything...ever...enjoyed your channel and poscasts but this is the first time I tried next time out and got the same result...drew the ball. Lowest round of the year for me (because I hit more fairways). Thanks and keep this up!
Great tips. I'm going to try this out.
Great content thanks
This was gold.
Can’t wait to go try these!!
Very helpful. I struggle with a negative attack angle also.
This was excellent instruction! I struggle the most with my driver. I can hit my 3 wood really well, but I do not feel comfortable with my driver at all. The tip of imagining you're hitting the ball behind you is perfect and something I'm gonna remember when I go to the range this weekend! Love your content guys!
Thanks Tim!
As someone who also is steep with my driver and hits a ton of fades/slices; his visual at the end of dropping the arms into the slit was a big help for me
I cant wait to try this out this weekend
I struggle with hitting up on the ball also. Great video and visuals. Throwing hands helped demonstrate the path. Now get that swing on the TSi bomb city.
I had the same problem with a nasty fade and took your tips to the range and achieved great results
The best tip in this lesson for me was the spine tilt away from the ball. It helped me launch it. Also “casting” the club low behind the ball. Helped me stay on path for sure. Draws never looked so pretty.
This is my biggest issue. I have a negative attack angle. Video is fantastic!!!!
Can't wait to try this..
OMG! That is exactly my problem. Love the slight shift in pelvis! I cannot wait to try this!!!
I love it Mike. Your swing looks so PURE! Keep it up!! 😁😁😁
I was actually at balturstol for the drive chip and putt a few years ago!
Haha. I missed the instructions on winning. I’ve recently started using the pix ball and set up the see the back side of the ball. Very helpful video
I like that tip on feeling that the ball is behind you. Your swing looks smoother. Nice
Cool lesson
Best video I’ve watched regarding this topic
Thanks Stuart! Glad you enjoyed it!
I learned more from this one 15 minute video than I have in the last year reading up on ways to help me hit my driver better. The only thing that sucks is I am in Montana and we have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground :(
Thanks for the video guys! Can't wait for next golf season so I can get out and put these tips to good use!
Im also a Montana golfer😂
Awesome video
Wow just that little tip of the feel of hitting the ball way back like that to get the face closing is awesome
Amazing practice facility!!!!!
I am watching this a second time and downloading it. Best lesson to correct over the top swing
This is top of the line instruction. 👏 absolute top notch 👌
Thank you!
I used the tip on the course and my driving game improved. Can you do more videos with the golf pro?
All about that spine tilt! I really like the idea of pretending there is a ball behind you trail foot, great way to keep this hands low! Keep these videos coming, let’s drop these handicaps together boys!
Lovely video. Just what I was after
The first two tips are something I try to do, but I need reminding of from time to time. That last tip is something I’d never seen. I’ll be trying that next time on the range.
Definitely need to look at where my club is coming down my backswing, and try to lower it. Never seen that before! I always come over the top and slice or pull
Very nice Frank!!! Sorry that I'm just getting to this video. Man you're crushing it now. Like someone else started earlier... that swinging arms drill and ball on the back foot is cash money! Lol
It is so weird because I had the SAME problem at the range today. Love the content!
Awesome!!
Okay, wow, the thought of the ball being way back there behind your right foot was mind blowing, I love it! That will definitly flatten the plane of the swing...which is key for distance because even if you are hitting up on the ball but you have a steep down swing your not going to hit it very far.....heading to course now to try to imagine that and see if i can flatten my plane sooner as well, thanks a lot for the video!!!!
Thanks for watching!
working on hitting up currently. Will definitely be using these tips. Great video!
Thanks! 👊🏼
Great video! Wish it wasn’t mid-November in Vermont with Covid screwing up everything indoors! Can’t wait for Covid to jump off the cliff with the cold weather! Looking forward to trying out theses tips! Thanks fellas!
When you said " it was just those three moves". That rocked me when that HUGE change was in three moves. GO LOW bro !!!
Video made me go out and find that HZRDUS Hand Crafted shaft again. Bought a used one a couple years ago for a 2017 M1. Was a very good shaft for me and was a bomber. Tip snapped off during a round and I had to toss it. When I went to replace it, cost on the shaft had climbed and $300 was not in the cards. Got an email recently that they were available at a decent price so I grabbed a new uncut one for a Cobra Speedzone driver. It was delivered today so it will be off to the club builder tomorrow.
Yes sir love it
Your body type amd swing is indentical to me. I can’t wait to try these 3 things tomorrow!
I have a similar issue. I really like the club face aiming at the ball behind you. Need to hit the range and video my swing to see if I am coming close to what Mat was saying. Great video guys!! Love your stuff!!!
Thanks as always KC!
Just got off the course and the tips I got from your video changed my nasty slice to a big draw
Now just need to straighten to draw a little bit
Thanks for the tips
I learned that scorecard holder is on point!
Awesome, I feel I can use this to my advantage as an amateur
This guy's a good teacher. I have the same issue and tried this on the range. It worked! Need to keep practicing but I see what I'm doing wrong.
Matt does great work!
