Avoid These Moves With Driver For Better Results – by PGA Pros Pete Styles & Matt Fryer

In this video tip PGA golf professionals Pete Styles and Matt Fryer explain to you how a certain number of killer moves can be ruining your golf swing, specifically with your driver. These moves are sometimes known as the death moves. Matt and Pete will suggest that swinging the golf club too long, swinging the golf club on an out to in path, and collapsing the arms during the swing, are moves that should be avoided. These death moves can adversely affect the direction and flight of your golf shot.

So one of the clubs that we will see quite a few issues with from people that we give lessons to Pete will be this one that we've both got hold of now quite a difficult club it's the driver. It probably makes sense you make mistakes it might be the same mistake that got in there than on the game but the driver I thinks gets into a mistake because curves the ball more and it's in the air for longer so if it's off line it's off line a long distance. Definitely I'd just say make makes it a bit more apparent and if we can get it right by doing a few things we should start to see that going to hit more fairways and get ourselves into better position is able to hit more greens and produce better scores, and if we were to give what we call three death moves that we would see in a golf swing with a driver. What would you tend to see? They would be it's an interesting terminology that the death moves that is probably there but 3 biggest faults that we see on a regular basis that will just kill your driver opportunity. The reasons why you want it right the 1st one is a simple one of just when you too long you see a lot of golfers they get this go about their back and things are really you know out of this and they try and hit the ball as far as hard as they can be and that swing might change you know we might see them but you won't swing a 7 iron swings.

Here yet a driver swings all around here you see my body shape moves and the club get shot so up alongside having that swing that's too long with the driver is definitely going to be my 1st death move. I don't think it's going to be consistency not be down swing or be able to control your swing you know because the back swing was too long. Would you take back swing earlier would you say that the follow through is a as a caveat from this going to long and you said earlier I'm going to give it some we tend to see a loss of balance as well for I see a lot of that let less balance in the follow through and quite often body weight coming back. So we might be really really long here and then out of the way this way and then it's got to go on over there by this point where an iron swing in general swing might be a little bit more controlled than a bit more balance, but let's make sure that your swing isn't too long with you. That's not feeding into the drive and like wise make sure the driver isn't any real different swings of the the I actually so if we moved on to point 2. If we talked about the direction the club swinging it we've got a couple of those out to in. When it's coming from outside the golf ball and traveling to the inside and into out in a neutral or what would you tend to see is a as a bad one we'd see more of a neutral been our 1st so neutral would be straight back and straight through in to out has been our sort of 2nd favorite cause that would produce a draw shot and maybe a huge shot not too bad but an out to in is going to be the death move.

Out to in would be from a good square set position the club comes out in front of the body too far to the right hand side of the ball pulls back across the golf ball this way possibly setting the ball off down the left and spinning it back in. It just depends on where the face is but not the ball goes but that have going this way should be seen even by a video camera because be a camera behind you teaching pro to be able to spot that you are even on a launch monitor like golfer track man would be able to see in out to in swing path on the radar data and if you've got them out in the swing path then it's excessive with a driver that's no to apply down right then and one more to top it off what would we be seeing throughout the golf swing. Obviously we do want to hit this quite a distance don't know if we can advance it further down the fairway it's going to make life a lot easier there but the something that we don't have in our structure. Yeah I think we want to hit the ball long way but we also need to understand that hitting the ball isn't the end of the swing in a lot of golf as it is, but we should be swinging down and through the impact area and really enjoying that sensation of throwing the club down the target line to really get the ball down the target. We see so many golfers by look at this point on camera come down to impact on the left arm will drive up and in this way you elbows become a part we talk about a chicken wing and often this camera will actually be the lead elbow appear behind the body here giving this sort of impression of chicken wing. Looks to me that there's no width I would classify I think you get you creating a lot in your back swing but then through it's almost hit right it's done pulling over and he said that about mentality it's all of them attention to impact their attention here to hit the ball. The body stops and the arms pull in rather than enjoying that to be feeling of sensation of driving the top down it's like much more wide in the policy and some that say that collapsing the arms and pulling in is the best move that swinging the drive. The 3rd was fantastic so we've had 3 things there if you can start to work on each factor differently start to see that we aren't swinging it too long we aren't swinging to excessively from out to In and we haven't got too much collapsing of the arms hopefully you should start to see more consistency some more straighter and longer drives with your driver.
