3 Simple Checkpoints to Hit Driver Straight Right Away

Is that good with hips? It's good. Really good. Oh, dude. It's a nice ball flight, Dante. Yeah, that was hammered. So the thoughts right now are like, hips, I'm kind of like curling. Yeah, because I'm not doing it by this. I'm kind of curling. Bring it in a little bit. Is that okay? That's fine. You know, as long as you maintain your tilt. Yeah, exactly. Because, yeah, we don't want... Sometimes people tuck this in, then they get that little bit of a look like this. You can bring it forward, but just keep your tilt. Yeah. And then I would tell you that same stuff in the backswing, left side. Yeah, left side pull through. We talk about connection in the backswing all the time, right? Yeah. A great feeling of connection in the downswing is what Dante's feeling right now. Those balls all landed, by the way, in the exact same spot. Yeah, those are great. The lead side of the body, from pinky to pocket. Keeps the hands moving with the body's rotation. Keeps the upper body in sync with the lower body as well. I like the thought a lot. You know, it's not here and here spinning out together. It's here and here. So it's hips and hands firing and the upper body follows, which is great. It's a perfect sequence for the golf swing. My favorite feeling in golf is when post-impact, when I reach here, I'm connected. Yeah, I know. It's a good feeling, isn't it? And a lot of the time when I play bad, I feel like the hands are either in because I'm like trying to pull or out. See, that's when I felt this lead. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Your arms are still going. You didn't complete your backswing there at all, though. So that's when I get probably... And on course, it's so much easier to get short, quick. That's the only thing I'm worried about, you know, it's like if we're looking where we're looking right now, that's not going to get longer on the golf course. You have to really make sure to complete your turn. That's exactly what I was talking to you about. Before you rush that downswing thought, make sure you are 100% committed to that backswing completing your turn. You're going to get a little closer to that ball. Awesome, right there. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, now just try to feel the same feeling we talked about. Just be more patient up to the top. Let it build a little bit. And let's just work on getting the arms and hands moving with the body on the way through. That was really close right there. Yeah, the one thing I saw you doing though, you were, I mean, that was pretty good ball play right there. You're getting far away from the ball. You know, I like seeing with the woods, I want to see the hands underneath more of the mouth, right? You were up there towards the eyes a little bit, okay? Yeah, and this is good for you to check point with your students as well. Once you get the hips over the ankles and the shoulders the appropriate distance past your toes, for irons, hands are hanging right underneath the shoulders. So from your perspective here, right underneath my shoulders. Now from the camera's perspective, if I'm holding a wood, it's more underneath my mouth right there. And I was. And you were literally out towards your eyes right there, okay? So you probably were about a good two inches too far away. And you know what that's going to do if you're too far away? You're never going to be able to get on top of it. You're underneath the whole time. Even if I'm on top because it's so forward, the plane is under. Exactly. Yeah, and I think I do that on the course actually. I feel like I stand like pretty... Okay, so that feels like an inch closer. Now I feel super on top. So I have no choice but to go. It's way better. Because like what I like about that one is like those last two, you didn't even hit perfect. But the ball flight was so much better. You know what I mean? Because if you would have made that same swing from where you were, it would have started high. It was a high right. Exactly. Okay, one more go on there, brother. Okay. Yeah, we hit some big setup key checkpoints today. Hips over ankles, hands under more of the mouth with the woods. More underneath the shoulders with the irons. That's good for distancing the golf ball. Beautiful, bud. Beautiful. That's one. Set up, set up, set up, set up. That was a good ball. Awesome, buddy. Hey, love you, man. Love you, brother. I'll see you soon. See you soon. Yep, sounds good. See you soon today, man. Real quick, I'm gonna recap it real quick, okay? Hips over ankles, hands under shoulders with irons, underneath mouth with the woods. We're gonna focus on still working to complete the backswing. Yeah. Okay, don't rush the downswing thought. And then that feeling of pinky to pocket. Just go. Feel like that goes. Yeah, it's a good feeling for staying connected in the downswing and just letting everything commit, you know. Every club from like 50 yards, 60 degree to driver. Yep. It's all connected as one muscle. And I've said it five or six times in this lesson, but I'm gonna say it again. Just don't forget to complete the backswing and then execute. Yeah, see, I can feel myself wanting to just. There's that spot up there that you have to hit before even. A decky drill. I think that's why I like that drill. Hitting a spot you know you need to be at before. Yeah, go. Exactly. Good, awesome.
