Daily Video Tips
Just had a session on an indoor launch monitor. My driver spin rate is about 3000. Shafts low spin. Driver head is turned down to 8.5 degrees with heavier moveable weight in the front position. So it has to be my swing. Approx. 105 swing speed avg carry just under 260.
Help??
The tips are great and I have incorporated several into my game. I think a few slo-mo shots would make the full swing tips more meaningful.
I’m afraid of damaging the top of my driver when teeing up high and maybe hitting under the ball. Any thing for that?
Perfect explanations.
But, since I am 76 yo is it to be more difficult for me to turn quickly enough to square the face at impact?
Will try this at the range tomorrow!! Thanks for the tips.
Best tip ever. Easy to understand and effective.
Thank you
his is the best 3 tips I have ever watched on GolfPass for hitting higher, farther, and straighter drives. Great lesson Clay!!!
Very informative
Still a bit worried about popping one up !
Thank you, thank you for this tip! I’ve been struggling off the tee this year and your tip worked wonders!!
Thank you. I think i always knew this but my move through the ball obviously has been creeping forward. I followed your thoughts last Saturday and after only a brief range warm up, I added twenty-five yards or so to my drives...which resulted in additional birdies. Thank you!
