    One of the most important lessons I get from watching Grant is his tempo. When I’m playing, I think of that tempo. He’s proven to me, that in order to golf your ball, you must have control of your swing. I wish that I wasn’t in my 50s when I learned this. I’d probably have a whole lot less injuries from playing over the years. You can still hit the ball far enough with a controlled, tempo swing. You will hit the sweet spot more often, which in turn, provides the most efficient contact with the ball. If your swing path is good and you hit the ball in the middle of the face, you can’t help but play well.

    Hi Grant, I’m a high school golf coach. I have been learning a lot watching your videos. I’d like to learn how to get the full turn on my follow-through on the driver. You have such a great tempo on your driver and you complete the swing with your hips towards a target and the shoulders turned more to the left. When I hit the driver, I tend to stop my shoulders when I strike the ball and I can’t figure out why. I really enjoy watching your perfect tempo swing. Thanks for doing your channels, Dave.😊

    A few thoughts for you to consider on this new teaching venture
    - try to get multiple camera angles (eg DTL, and maybe 45 deg vs just face on
    - if you could do a part 2 that discusses what your hands do (eg are they active or quiet) and how do you shallow that would be sweet
    - do some slow mo
    Hope you don’t mind the above ideas and cheers bro! Keep killing it

    I watch a lot of golf videos on youtube. Like a lot! Every driver video I watch might work a little bit on the Range but I fall right back into Old Habits a week later. After watching this video I tried it out and was hammering 260 yd drives (carry!) down the middle of the range exactly where I was aiming with consistency!
    I was already doing 80% of what you were saying, but the missing ingredient was loading my weight on the back leg and launching from there on the downswing. Time will tell if this sticks, but it really feels like a Eureka moment for me.
    My goal is to break 80. Every part of my game is there except for off the tee box. My best effort has been 84. Out of bounds kills me

    what ive seen when i help alot of people hit their drivers is try to get power from their upper body. When i tell them most of the power comes from the right hip/leg they dont get it . Then i give them a example of a rubber band twisting on its axis. When i started i had a weak driver because i used my upper body for power , but then one coach thought me the secret of leg power in golf, after that i can hit drivers pretty good up to 320 330 when before i barely got 230 240 . Iam glad you showed how to use the leg/hip load , its kinda of a secret many do not know . Great video .

    Hi Grant, I have a question about drivers (and longer irons tbh) that I'm not sure where else to go. I've been struggling with an Out-to-In club path with longer irons and driver. Shorter irons 7i->PW, I'm pretty good at being able to work in-to-out and out-to-in club paths on demand. But anything longer 5i or 3i and Driver, are still all typically out-to-in.
    My question, is in what is the feeling of what your doing with your hands when hitting a in-to-out path. Are you, from the top of your backswing, rotating and throwing your hands "out" to maybe a 45 degree angle out in front of you? (45 degrees from if 90 degrees was setup location of the ball, which would be off my inside left heel) I feel like I probably pull my hands around my torso/twist rotation. Throwing my hands like that feels weird, but wondering if that's what I'm supposed to be doing?

      Those clubs are the hardest to hit for all golfers. Unless you are a single digit index player with better than average club head speed you are better off leaving them out of the bag. If you haven’t already tried, I would suggest trying 5 and 7 woods or 3, 4 hybrids to replace those long irons. They are WAY easier to hit and get the ball up higher with more carry. If you can put the ego aside they can really shave some strokes.
