How To Make Sure You Hit More Fairways With Your Driver – by PGA Pros Pete Styles & Matt Fryer

In this video tip PGA golf professionals Pete Styles and Matt Fryer make a bold claim about how you can hit more fairways by making minimal changes to your golf swing technique. By having a better understanding of whereabouts we can tee the ball up on the teeing ground, Matt and Pete are confident that this will help you get better aligned to your intended target and ultimately you will be able to hit the ball into the wider part of the fairway. This, in turn, will increase a greater degree of consistency during your rounds of golf.

Now the title of this tip guarantees that people are going to hit more fairways. Thats got me excited we've got the time so how can we guarantee to get off hit more fairways ideally we're not going to make massive wholesale changes. The people swings we're going to be smart and not we distant we're going to try and manipulate the way we line up on the way we choose where to stand on the tee box in order to hit more fairways. So let me just set the scene start with Matt down here in the background from this camera line we can see we've got a wall to house it down the left hand side of the thefor the fire away that we're aiming for our fairway is a little bit more to the right now we are only on a par 3 hole here so just imagine the ball full. So the fairways further away but the water has it down the left is the key feature and out on the golf course would see a lot of people actually aiming towards that wall to house a why would the empty words will sometimes forget the people of the theory is if I am to order I can work off it. Now one of the things that you'll read and it should suggest you should never aim if you had it right it's going to put you into trouble to a slice of here yeah I think what we often see with a slice it is that move as far as they can this way on the tee box now the camera angle might show the hole with the tee box but we have we've got a wide tee box a slice it would back all the way up over here and aim at the aim at the water and try and slice it off the water. It's a yeah but if they go through like you said aiming at the trouble right one yes you're in troubleyou know straight in the water and your mates go oh thats bit off if you were pointing out that you know there was a solution rather something a fish out of the tee box come to the into the trouble.

So were here and then we're going to I'm away from it. So it's just want to go stand near with the do It doesn't sound yeah sounds a little bit odd We're going to do it but then we're going to play away from it as if we're playing towards it like you say you hit the straight one. You know that's where your trouble starts to flee you put your You're back to the trouble by standing nearer to it you cannot truly further away and it's going to take a big shot to get it back to the trouble. Then a real real miscalculation because if you walked away from the trouble the middle of the fairway is actually almost back exactly like towards it. OK Now it stands it stands to reason that the most fun because keenly on the line humans with this because we don't want to stop near the trouble and I aim to so we stand near the trouble and we aim away so talk me through how we can a really effectively. So I aiming straight one of the things that will do if we just switch on to this camera here now I would imagine if you watch golf onT.V. This will be an image that you've seen quite a few times where you see the pro behind the actual target line and he's got his club up and he's picking an intermediate target. Hey you've gotten a good thinking by getting away from the trouble now we need to be able to rode it out and started thinking around when to aim off and do here can we aim straight massive and he just did rode it out everytime a statement was when you stood there or just what you just did right you don't even want to that close. Yeah and he's doing that to do what you think you know so he's picking out something he gets up here he has got his intended finishing target the battle sits on it pretty much and then this shot now is working is like a line a laser back down to it and he's drawing is I down from the driver had down towards the grip about a foot in front. Something from here that will stand out for me right I'll draw something on the screen if you guys now we can actually say whether it's a divot a leaf you know a blade of grass one of an old tee peg. Something that stands out to him so as he comes in now he gets that drive a face looking directly at the target there is a foot out in front of him because it's alot easier to aim something that's a foot in front of me as opposed to something 200 yards down the.

One side now I know I'm aiming away from the trouble here of pick my point on the far right Iwant to hit it so and it's no way even as a term I had here can't see the war hasn't because I've got my back pretty much to it from hey now I can build a good set up where I've got my body now aligned parallel to this intended bolt the target line the saw got my feet running parallel but like a train track right side left side hey we can say everything is running parallel to the saw get lined wholebody including your toes on the club aiming at this spot here and aiming away from trouble. Yes whereas if you set up on the side of the ground a natural way from the trouble ought to be everything would be a more towards in trouble here we've got of the water housing but that could be an outbound spends a day a row of houses so actually move away from the trouble you going to have to wade through water it moved towards the trouble you can I'm a long way from a sounds counter-intuitive doesn't it you want to stand near the trouble yeah I think as well as a go to the one way I mean the trouble and then bring it back there's a lot of time the ball spent curving in the So it's cutting across the way it's you know off the back onto it maybe across a hair was we've done this I'm pretty much aiming down a wrong way now of the way I'm giving myself a bigger portion I'm going to aim down instead of going over it back into where I'm going to allow for a lot of movement here I can just try and hit a straight shot to take him out point there is 2 to understand that when you stand on the tee ground and you look at the hole in front of you identify where the Tripoli's even look at the full width of the team ground if you can use that full width to our vantage and you can aim better using not so divisive needs that shields all pointing on target I'm going to suggest that you should hit more fairways and that is guaranteed to improve your go.
