@mikeandike76 Or you could just not suck with the driver and hit a 7 iron into the green instead of a 4 iron. 7 iron will usually get you closer to the flag, which will in turn cause you to make more putts and lower your scores.

That's why people want to hit big drives. You don't NEED to, but it's nice as long as you can make the putts as well.

@jstrick114 why in the world would you need it drive the ball 350 yards?? if you wanna become good at golf take your driver out of your bag and only use fairwaywoods or irons. ive been doing this for a while and its the reason ive been able to be a 4 handicap. all you have to do is hit the fairway and keep the ball out of trouble...

the best advice ive ever had...Hes the business...

Das ist doch wohl nicht ernst gemeint, das der mir beibringen will, wie ich mehr speed mache :-D. Da schlag ich ja mit nem 7er Eisen genauso weit wie er mit seinem Driver. Aber vor allen sind alle seine drei Tipps keine Sachen auf die man trainieren sollte. Wenn man schon einen wirklich guten Schwung hat, dann kann man mal darauf achten, das man den Winkel möglichst lange hält. So wie er das vorführt ist es ziemlich lächerlich.

@senorchipotle ya...this is kind of exactly what your supposed to do. If you get rid of the angle to soon you can't reach your maximum swing speed. How bout we learn a little bit about he golf swing before we start criticizing peoples instructions.

@senorchipotle you obviously cant read at all. talk to me after going to middle school. i NEVER said i try to told the angle longer than natural. i focus on my leg and hip turn and then snap my wrist. dont try to put words in my mouth. thanks

@ss4adam ... this is terrible advice. you don't "hold the angle" in a golf swing, unless you plan on actually slowing your swing down. if you make a proper downswing, you don't have to worry about rotating anything but your body because centrifugal force takes care of the rest. this is bogus.

@jstrick114 wrist snap is one factor.send me a vid of your swing and ill give u some tips
