hi guys it's Rick shields PGA golf
professional and this is the complete
driver guide this is a follow on from
the complete golf swing guide we're now
going to talk about the driver and this
is a five part series to help every
single one of your hit you drive a
batter whether you're an established
player or you are brand new to the game
we follow these five videos all the
videos are up here in the corner already
this is really gonna help you understand
the difference between an iron and a
driver and how you're gonna hit your
driver a lot better we're gonna talk
about the overview first which is this
video talking about the main principles
about hitting driver the next video is
going to talk about setup then we're
gonna go into backswing impact and then
the follow-through solos to cover but
we're gonna first talk about the
importance of understanding what a drive
a golf swing is compared to an iron
swing and a big thing with driver is we
swing at maximum speed with driver
because it's the longest golf glove we
carry in our bag and we're also
presented with the least amount of loft
for a full swing and both those two
characteristics alone makes this golf
shot a little bit harder to accomplish
but with the correct setup in the
correct mindset in how we're going to
hit the golf shot with driver we're
gonna see way more success way more
success the big principles around
hitting driver and this is the
difference between irons and driver iron
is very much a down striking golf swing
we want to hit down on that golf ball
hit the ball first take the ground after
but with driver we have the ball teed up
already that's a huge advantage and we
have to then also hit more up into the
golf ball we want to get that Golf Club
moving up into the back of the ball to
sweep the ball off the tee making good
contact to the head and making sure that
our golf swing is creating the correct
amount of power to help you hit the ball
as far as you need to hit it so the big
thing to start off with I really want
you to get this
I'm innocent probly the main point
overall of the videos that we're gonna
do is driver we want to hit more on the
way up
irons we want to hit more on the way
down and that's the biggest differences
between
an iron swing and a driver swing how we
set up factors and influences how we hit
the golf shop to set up which is the
next video is really key the golf swing
itself is about power
we want to create power in a golf swing
and there's nothing more important than
actually swinging the golf club fully
and creating adequate power to get the
golf ball propelling forward with long
distance sometimes hitting the driver
softer can actually cause more bad
issues for me the big thing with driver
as long as you can swing in control and
this is the important bit you can swing
as fast as you need to swing but always
try and swing in control so driver swing
as I mentioned before it's much more of
an up hit that way we have our body
tilted further away which we'll cover a
little bit more detail in setup we want
to create speed we want to sweep that
ball off the tee creating power creating
distance and creating that really good
flight that we really want to see with
driver up in the air going a long way
once it lands it's going to keep rolling
as well so the overview of driving this
is obviously the most important thing I
feel like we need to get established
first before we move on to setup before
we move into the backswing to create
power before we move into impact of the
golf club and the follow-through we've
got to understand that driver we've got
to sweep up into the back of the ball so
the golf club is has more of an angle of
attack on the way up as opposed to on
the way down power is a good thing great
and power is a good thing as long as we
can stay in control so this is the first
overview this is the introduction to the
complete driver guide you can now click
in the corner the link and now I'll get
you through to setup setup is where we
make adjustments to help us hit more on
the way up the next lesson which is the
backswing is going to be talking about
how we create the power and then after
that it's gonna help us hit that ball
