How to Hit Your Driver Over 300 Yards
Get More Speed From Your Driver
Get More Speed From Your Driver
Description
Swing speed is an essential part of you far you can hit the ball. The faster you swing, the more energy is transmitted to the ball. In today's simple drill, RotarySwing instructor Chris Tyler shows you a simple drill to get more speed from your driver than you thought possible... Without a bunch of technical language or swing thoughts!

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.839
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. I'm
2
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:04.299
your instructor, Chris Tyler. And today,
3
00:00:04.580 --> 00:00:06.759
I've got an exciting video that's gonna
4
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:09.400
help you start getting your driver to
5
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:11.039
produce way more speed than you ever
6
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:11.740
thought you had.
7
00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:15.400
And you're gonna be cooking with some
8
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:15.880
fire here.
9
00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:22.940
Ooh, baby, that was the best one of the
10
00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:23.300
day there.
11
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.399
Okay, so I'm gonna teach you guys how to
12
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:32.859
get this drill set up first, and then
13
00:00:32.859 --> 00:00:33.920
we're gonna get right into the nitty
14
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.719
gritty. So, first thing I want you to do
15
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:37.439
is just tee up a golf ball. Okay, it's
16
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:38.420
gonna be your reference point.
17
00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:41.140
Then we're gonna put a line directly in
18
00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:42.280
front of the golf ball that's gonna be
19
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.619
pointed down the target line. You're
20
00:00:44.619 --> 00:00:46.100
gonna be standing parallel to that line.
21
00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:48.619
This other line that I have down on the
22
00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:50.140
ground is gonna be pointed off to right
23
00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:52.280
field about 45 degrees or so. Don't
24
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:53.500
overthink it, just get pointed off to
25
00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:55.219
right field a little bit. Now, I know a
26
00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:56.900
lot of you at home are thinking, 45
27
00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:58.700
degrees, Chris, that's a lot. That's
28
00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:00.579
gonna produce a big old block or a big
29
00:01:00.579 --> 00:01:02.939
old hook. I'm not gonna argue that. Path
30
00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:04.120
plays a very important role with the way
31
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:05.060
the golf ball's gonna fly.
32
00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:08.120
But also on top of that face angle, which
33
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.859
is 85% of your golf shot's DNA,
34
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:12.819
is gonna play a much bigger role.
35
00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.980
So if you do these three things that I'm
36
00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:16.920
gonna teach you to do
37
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.239
with your trail arm and your golf swing,
38
00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:21.439
and you sync it up to what your lead hip
39
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.260
is doing, then you've got a really good
40
00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:24.280
chance to be able to produce some good
41
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.180
speed and be able to hit that high draw
42
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.840
that you've always been looking for. So
43
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.099
the way that you're gonna do this drill
44
00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:32.079
is you set up parallel to the line
45
00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:34.299
that's in front of your ball, right?
46
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.599
That's going right down your target line.
47
00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:36.859
You're gonna widen your base up a little
48
00:01:36.859 --> 00:01:37.060
bit,
49
00:01:37.639 --> 00:01:38.939
and you're gonna have your ball position
50
00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:40.980
off of your left instep, okay?
51
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.299
Now, from this position, what I want you
52
00:01:43.299 --> 00:01:43.579
to do
53
00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:45.700
is I want you to take your right hand and
54
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:47.900
right arm at address, and I want you to
55
00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:49.519
start making some little small swings.
56
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.079
And I want you to think about first,
57
00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:53.700
the left hip pulling back and away from
58
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:54.200
the golf ball.
59
00:01:55.039 --> 00:01:56.680
And as that's happening, what you want to
60
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.959
do is you want to try to feel your right
61
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:03.159
hand and right arm work down the line
62
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:04.319
that's pointed out to the right here.
63
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.019
It's gonna feel really, really wacky.
64
00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:09.800
Now, in order to get your arm to do that,
65
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:11.379
your shoulders would have to be doing
66
00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:12.479
something a little bit different here.
67
00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:14.319
Why do you think I'm not talking to you
68
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.000
about your shoulders or your spine or
69
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.879
your axis tilt? Well, because again, that
70
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:21.000
starts introducing
71
00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:24.039
all of the technical stuff that binds you
72
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.919
up in the first place. Think about that.
73
00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:27.919
We're trying to do a drill to simplify
74
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.860
things for you. We're trying to do a
75
00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:31.919
drill that's allowing you to feel freedom
76
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.500
of movement.
77
00:02:33.859 --> 00:02:36.020
So, the next piece to this is to now
78
00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:36.580
think about
79
00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:39.039
what drivers are set up to do these days.
80
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.819
What is a driver set up to do?
81
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.439
Well, this is the one club in our bag
82
00:02:44.559 --> 00:02:46.539
that's set up for positive angle of
83
00:02:46.539 --> 00:02:46.740
attack.
84
00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.759
We want to hit up on it. Even though a
85
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.919
lot of you at home that are sitting there
86
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.180
that have studied track band numbers
87
00:02:52.679 --> 00:02:55.000
would see that the PGA Tour average is
88
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.180
down 1.3 degrees.
89
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.699
I can assure you there's a bunch of those
90
00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:00.139
guys out there that are hitting up on the
91
00:03:00.139 --> 00:03:02.539
golf ball. Now, as amateur golfers, we
92
00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:04.240
need to take advantage of this modern day
93
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:05.919
technology because we just don't hit it
94
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.759
as far. And it's set up for very high
95
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.580
launch, very low ball spin. So, the way
96
00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:11.159
that we're gonna hit up on the golf ball
97
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.240
is we're gonna create more of an
98
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.319
ascending blow rather than a descending
99
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:14.639
blow.
100
00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:17.879
We could talk about the action that the
101
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.159
spine needs to do in order to be able to
102
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:19.520
help that.
103
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:21.819
And I'm not gonna do that though. We're
104
00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:24.120
gonna keep things focused on one part of
105
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.120
the body and not the shoulders, the
106
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.319
spine, all of that other stuff. We're
107
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.860
gonna just focus on what your right hand
108
00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:32.400
and right arm are doing. Now, when you do
109
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.379
these next few reps, after you've gone
110
00:03:34.379 --> 00:03:35.539
ahead and drilled your right hand and
111
00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:36.680
right arm working out towards right
112
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.120
field, Now, what I want you to feel is
113
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.960
that. By the time
114
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.360
your right hand and arm get to the golf
115
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:42.659
ball,
116
00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:45.259
is that your right wrist and forearm are
117
00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:46.840
gonna feel like it's working up towards
118
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:47.319
the sky.
119
00:03:48.420 --> 00:03:51.099
Well, Chris, that is going to produce a
120
00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:52.419
very high block.
121
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:54.520
Ball that will probably move off to the
122
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:55.400
right. Yes, it will.
123
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:57.960
This is where we add the final piece in.
124
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.259
Now, as your hand and arm are passing
125
00:04:00.259 --> 00:04:01.400
that golf ball
126
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.840
and working down, out towards right
127
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.180
field.
128
00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:07.539
There's a helicopter up here. There's
129
00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:08.479
helicopter tours available.
130
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.479
As you feel that right hand and right arm
131
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:15.759
working out towards right field and
132
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.759
working up towards the sky, now you can
133
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.459
start letting your wrist and forearm
134
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:19.879
rotate.
135
00:04:20.780 --> 00:04:22.319
Okay, now you can see I'm just making
136
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.439
little small swings, right, but I'm doing
137
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.379
it with movement. My left hip's moving
138
00:04:26.379 --> 00:04:26.800
back.
139
00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:29.060
My right wrist and forearm are rotating.
140
00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:31.600
When you finish, your right wrist and
141
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.279
forearm, you shouldn't be over-rotated to
142
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.759
where your palm is facing completely down
143
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.519
to the ground. When you rotate it, it's
144
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.579
gonna be facing behind you. So if you had
145
00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:40.480
a club in your hands, it's gonna be toe
146
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.240
up to slightly toe left. That's it.
147
00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:46.319
So now, once you do these reps, and I'm
148
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.240
not gonna give you all a specific number
149
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.240
of reps that I want you to do, this is to
150
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.519
create feel. So some of you are gonna be
151
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.040
able to start feeling this three or four
152
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:53.319
reps.
153
00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:55.579
Some of you are gonna take 25 reps. Some
154
00:04:55.579 --> 00:04:57.060
of you are gonna take 100 reps. But the
155
00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:58.500
point is, is that you wanna continue
156
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:01.420
doing this drill till you feel all three
157
00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:03.360
components of the right arm extending
158
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.319
down the target line,
159
00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:07.399
the right arm, by the time it gets to the
160
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:08.839
golf ball, working up towards the sky,
161
00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:11.079
and now the right wrist and forearm
162
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:11.600
rotating,
163
00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:14.079
synced up with your left hip moving back
164
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:14.379
and away.
165
00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:16.379
Now, once you start getting the hang of
166
00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:17.519
it, you can see that I'm making the swing
167
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.319
a little bit longer and a little bit
168
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:19.759
faster,
169
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.879
okay? Now, I want you to really focus on
170
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:24.800
what your body is feeling,
171
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.759
okay? It's gonna feel weird,
172
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.639
okay? You're gonna feel what it's like to
173
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:32.620
have a shallower plane,
174
00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:35.579
a shallower angle of attack, and a lot
175
00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:36.639
more club face rotation.
176
00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:39.180
Now, let's bring the golf club back in
177
00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:39.439
the mix.
178
00:05:40.020 --> 00:05:41.699
Same thing's gonna apply. Let's remove
179
00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:44.300
the ball out of here for a few swings.
180
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:46.819
We're gonna start with some small swings
181
00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:48.139
at first. So, you're gonna set up
182
00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:49.800
parallel to this line. Don't cheat and
183
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.699
turn your body to where it's pointed out
184
00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:52.139
to the right,
185
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:53.839
okay?
186
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.060
So, small swings, it's gonna feel
187
00:05:57.060 --> 00:05:59.160
exaggerated. It's hard to get your hands
188
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.100
and arms to work out 45 degrees to the
189
00:06:01.100 --> 00:06:02.899
right, trust me. It's not going to work
190
00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:03.759
out that far in and out.
191
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:07.579
You're gonna have to kind of stand on
192
00:06:07.579 --> 00:06:09.019
your right side. So, that's why it's
193
00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:10.240
important that you sync this up with your
194
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.500
left hip, okay?
195
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.519
Okay, now I can start feeling it. Once
196
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.360
you start feeling it, bring the golf ball
197
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.120
back in there right away.
198
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.860
Why? Well, because again, we're here to
199
00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:24.319
drill,
200
00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:26.560
to create movement,
201
00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:28.660
to get the golf ball in the way of it.
202
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.259
That's why a lot of times, we never get
203
00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:31.699
these golf swings to the golf course.
204
00:06:31.860 --> 00:06:33.779
That's why people struggle all of the
205
00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:35.019
time. They think about all the technical
206
00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:38.060
aspects. This drill is designed to create
207
00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:39.899
a difference in sensation that's pretty
208
00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.980
radical, but also to give you a visual
209
00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:42.600
along the way.
210
00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:45.000
Once you have that visual, once you have
211
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:45.459
those feels,
212
00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:48.040
unlock it, uncap it, let it rock and
213
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.000
roll. Let's take a look at it now. All
214
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.240
right, boys and girls, let's go ahead and
215
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:51.759
give her a rip.
216
00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:56.060
Okay, so now,
217
00:06:57.100 --> 00:06:58.420
big thing I want you to remember is now
218
00:06:58.420 --> 00:06:59.480
that you've drilled this, I know it's
219
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.000
looking back into the sun, so everybody
220
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.839
at home, take a chill pill. I can't aim
221
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.180
where I was aiming, otherwise I would
222
00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:06.360
kill those golfers over there on the
223
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.060
right-hand side of the golf course. So
224
00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:09.180
I'm aiming it a little bit out into the
225
00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:11.879
range here. So remember, after you've
226
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:12.879
gone through this drill,
227
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.319
the whole point is to create a feel, to
228
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:18.639
create a visual of that feel,
229
00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:22.120
stay in movement and just let it fly,
230
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.259
right? Stay committed to your movements
231
00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.120
and you'll start seeing some really great
232
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.519
results, okay? So we're gonna go ahead,
233
00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:28.860
we've gone through the drill process,
234
00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:31.040
created that visual. Now I'm ready to
235
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.920
start letting things rock and roll. I
236
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.899
kind of have that line off to right field
237
00:07:34.899 --> 00:07:36.839
as my, my aid here.
238
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.439
As my right arm passes in front, I'm
239
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:40.579
gonna feel it working out towards right
240
00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:42.639
field. I'm gonna feel like it's moving up
241
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.160
towards the sky and I'm gonna feel my
242
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.139
wrist and forearm rotate.
243
00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:46.980
Good visual process.
244
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.399
And that is, that is good, let's do it
245
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:58.600
again.
246
00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:02.899
Probably don't need to swing out of my
247
00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:04.240
shoes like that to try to impress you
248
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:04.779
guys at home.
249
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.500
Just probably need to make a balance
250
00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:08.779
swing.
251
00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:11.899
Okay, so remember, I'm gonna feel my
252
00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:13.519
right arm and hand working out towards
253
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.560
right field, working up towards the sky,
254
00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:18.920
wrist and forearm rotating as it moves
255
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.639
by. Don't overthink it,
256
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:22.819
just feel it.
257
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.519
Ooh, man, I need to stay out here and
258
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.480
keep hitting balls. Let's do another one.
