Definitely going to try this drill. I had really improved with my driver after using your vid about how to hit a draw. Unfortunately its all gone wrong again and I have lost all consistency of strike, I'm skying it, hooking, slicing, you name it. Now I'm just scared every time I get the big stick out.

Scratch Golf Academy - 2 years ago

Hang in there Graham, Hopefully this drill will help.

Oh, I've got it. I forgot about that, it's been a while since that video was made. I remember when I said it I thought it was rather dumb.

Sorry Adam, English humour. When you talk of Martin as a great friend then as good friend realistically was quite funny. Your videos by the way are fantastic, best on the net and helping me so much!

Hi Adam. I just started playing golf 3 months ago and I was looking for some decent clubs for me to purchase and use. The ones that I was previous using were Orlimar irons and I have been so frustrated with them since day 1. I couldn't hit consistent shots with my short irons and my long irons are missing distances. I tried using the ap2 and jpx900 forged and my god I have seen major changes in both feel and performance. I came to know with other players that I should stick to performance irons and not go for the ap2 and jpx forge as they require a player to be at least a mid handicapper. Is this true? Should I stick to performance irons even tho I cannot hit them consistently or should I go for clubs that I feel confident in even tho (as what they have stated) not in par with my handicap range?

Scratch Golf Academy - 3 years ago

Thanks for the comment. I'm not really a club fitting expert, but I'd say the AP 2 irons would be OK (if you like them). They are 'mid game-improvement' clubs, which you should be able to handle. I use Callaway's version of 'mid game-improvement' clubs these days. I'm a bit old and feeble now and they suit me fine. We'd be coming at the same thing from opposite ends.

Daniel Lux - 3 years ago

Thanks for a great video. I seem to be finding that if I just swing to finish in balance I hit the ball very well for an old guy. Should I try and do exactly the same thing with my irons or are they swung differently?

Scratch Golf Academy - 3 years ago

+Daniel Lux
Daniel, thanks for the comment. Overall I'd say they are swung the same. The irons need more impact shaft lean (downward hit), but maybe the same thought that's working for your driver will work with irons too.

Great video. I have just started to use my driver. I went slow first time and small. I love how light it feels. I have been using my irons because I was too scared to use the drive, but as it turns out its nice to swing. I will be trying these good tips. Thanks :)

Hi Adam

Maybe I can't find it which is likely, but could you do a brief video about the proper grip of a golf club or is this a personal thing.

Thank you

I really like the idea "practise by your instincts, like a little kid". Many times, we tend to overthink and overanalyze our golf shots, making them worse. Thanks for the video!

M Dale - 3 years ago

Adam, All of a sudden my son is hitting his drives, with the driver, into the ground anywhere from 6-12 inches in front of the tee. They are hit so hard they are causing long "divots" in the ground and they roll 50 yards forward. What could be causing this?

M Dale - 3 years ago

Thanks Adam. That makes sense. I love the channel and the lessons...you are the best.

Scratch Golf Academy - 3 years ago

I'd say he is hitting the ball off the bottom of the club, but there could be a number of reasons for this. Sorry I can't be more help.

Thanks for watching the video. I don't think it would be a problem to do this drill at any range, just need a handful of tees. Hope you see improvements in your game.

Ken Kall - 3 years ago

Why is it no teacher mentions using the open/closed adjustments on the drivers? When are they used?

Ken Kall - 3 years ago

+Scratch Golf Academy thanks

Scratch Golf Academy - 3 years ago

Ken,
If you mean the settings some of the new drivers have, then yes, they can be a factor. No matter what you set them to though you still have to swing the club in a very large arc at high speed, and control face alignment near impact. This takes feel and developed skill. The adjustment in the club should be made so that it's easiest for you to do this.
Hope this helps a bit.
Best, Adam

Vance Weber - 3 years ago

Love your videos Adam. Quick question..... trying to find a particular video of yours that was so helpful ..... you show Rory as an of how the club head is so far behind him, thereby creating a huge arc on the downswing and then you mention beating a carpet or skipping a stone in down the line type view. Which video? Changed my whole concept of the downswing but need to keep reviewing. Thanks.

Scratch Golf Academy - 3 years ago

Vance,
Thanks for the comments. I hate to say it but I haven't been able to find that video, I do remember what you are referring to though. Any chance it was at the Scratch Golf Academy website?
Thanks, Adam

Joshua Mclean - 4 years ago

Hi Adam,
The driver drills you have up have helped me to reduce the amount of times I push my drives to the right. However, I generally swing the driver at 80-90% as if I swing at 100% I loose control and push the ball to the right. It starts on target line but ends up way right whenever I bring my club speed up. I'm having to use my 3 wood more often to reduce the amount of push I get or reduce my swing speed just to get my driver straighter. This is obvious taking distance off my drive.
Any tips?
Josh

Scratch Golf Academy - 4 years ago

Joshua,
It sounds like you are a decent player with a fair amount of clubhead speed? If this is the case the hips generally drive too much causing the club to drop in and get stuck behind you approaching impact. Unless you roll the face enough the shot tends to flare right. There are a lot of possibilities, so it's hard to be definitive as to what's happening past that. Hope this helps.
Best, Adam

Timothy Williams - 4 years ago

Question. I'm not consistent with my driver, my problem is I don't stay on plane most of the time, and my balls hook to the left. I'm Ok with all of my other clubs and irons, but I'm terrible with the driver. My set-up is correct, it's when I swing, the ball doesn't take flight and it hooks left about 100 yards. By the way. I was able to drive on average 200 yards, but when I tried to get extra yardage, I messed something up, and now, I'm terrible on the tee. HELP!!!

Scratch Golf Academy - 4 years ago

Timothy Williams would you mind sending me a private message I have something to ask you? Go to the about page for my channel and click on "message". See this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/GZ4mxmINyggr Thanks!

Timothy,

Thanks for the comment. Driver is a tough club, and often gives people problems. Without seeing you it's hard to be helpful, but starting October 12th my website www.scratchgolfacademy.com will open it's premium site. There will be some great technology there that would enable us to do one on one internet instruction. I hope you'll consider this.

Great drill. I know I come down too steep with the driver, I slice regularly. I will work on this drill and see how it works for me.

Thanks, I hope it helps. I'd recommend looking at a couple of 'fix slice/learn to draw' videos I have out. Sometimes when you first shallow your path you'll have a tendency to leave the face open, these videos should help with that.Best, Adam
