Driver Settings | I Was Wrong

- I finally managed to understand how to change my driver' settings and I found out that there is an upright lie setting that works perfect for me.
If you want to play better draws, make sure to check out the upright setting on your driver. This will also work as an anti-slice setting.

My name is Erich and I live in Italy welcome to my channel. I used to play golf on and off for many years, but I started my journey again about 8 years ago, changing my swing completely.
My goal is to become a single figure handicap golfer in the near future.
To achieve this goal, I built my own backyard putting green and set up a backyard golf net. I love playing in my backyard green, doing drills, club reviews and playing at the range and at the course to get better at the game and ultimately reach my goal (hopefully).

I hate to say it but your biggest problem is the weak grip , you slash at the ball which is ok but if you slash at the ball you cannot have the lead wrist in a position that allows the face to open at all , trail hand will learn to be comfortable if you let it lead it doesnt want to go underneath just move your lead thumb tighter and sit your trail nicely leading from the back . Its hard to adapt iron/ driver grips but a good takeaway prompt will make it easier for each .
I do agree however that the upright setting on tm drivers is a good anti slice fix but its only temporary , you must grip strong left if you slash - its a down the line thing and a weak grip lets you cut across your front whereas a strong grip creates a block that swings/forces a more in to out movement in your body .
Basically you cant cut a strong grip whilst trying to throw the club its going out right not cut left .
Try throwing your driver up the garden with a strong left - youll see immediately a path change is required
Yes so many swing issues I had, I finally worked them out after so many years, for me ulnar deviation worked out my swing and I'm finally able to play better golf, thanks for your feedback
Spot on , same degree of loft but more upright ,Toe up heel down in any club including putter closes face slightly so its worth doing, otherwise you'd have to take it to 12.5 degrees to close face.
Yes exactly a lot of golfers think that the more loft the more the face is open and it’s the complete opposite
I find it amusing so many amateurs are making videos of how to do things they do not know how to do. You do know there is a chart on the Taylormade site telling EXACTLY what the specs are for each notch, starting from the bottom (standard) going around the clock? The main reason you have trouble drawing, is your hips do not lead your downswing, dropping your rt elbow to your side. You turn your shoulders first, causing the over the top, outside in club path & your weight never gets off your back foot. Watch Hogan's lesson after he beat Snead at Pebble beach on Shells WWG.
I know what you’re saying, I do not need that setting now, if you look at my latest videos, my swing has changed over time, but I have to say at the time that setting did help, for the weekend golfer that upright setting would be so much helpful
I've never owned an adjustable driver so I have no idea how to adjust them. I would have thought the same thing as well, that decreasing the loft would close the clubface a little. Glad that you noticed that the settings were adjusted wrong for you on your driver. Ball is drawing nice now Erich!
The upright setting basically raises the lie upright by 4 degrees so it’s almost impossible to slice it, man I’m telling you, this is a great setting for me, it feels like a brand new driver, we’ll see at the course
None of my club's are adjustable either sho I don't have a low degree wedge and have a second driver. One 10.5 and a 9.5 10.5 for flight and the 9.5 is a great hit and run, offer stinger on windy days.
Don't forget to fine tune with the weights. if it goes to much left move the front weight toward the toe a bit at a time. I noticed the rear weight was set to standard. at that loft it may go tad high slide the rear weight forward a bit but the most forgiving is the weight all the way back.
Thanks I was playing around with the weights the other day, it almost feels like if you tend to hit more off the toe then put the weights on the toe 🤷🏻♂️, I will move the weights more towards the toe and see what happens, thanks 🙏
I think typically high handicappers struggle to get the ball in the air and not slice it and low handicappers with speed can get it in the air and fight a hook so that’s why it’s low loft open / high loft closed
I tried it on a very high handicapper slicer, I changed his settings to upright and trust me he was amazed!!! I might need to do a video on that.
My cobra has the lower setting with draw option, lucky for me. That way on a windy day, I might set it to 8.5 draw so i get a lower ball flight.
For me the hidden "upright" position works perfectly..... it raises the lie upright by 4 degrees and since I tend to swing too flat this automatically fixes everything, I still cannot believe it.....
i was surprised when i had a TM fitting recently by how much better the 10.5 head in standard setting was than the 9 head set higher, and it was all because of that more closed face
Exactly it’s the opposite, it’s strange, but good to know!
I had the same experience with my Cobra F9 . I bought a 10.5 head and had it set at 12 ( closed face) . I should have bought a 12 degree head and adjusted loft plus or minus from there. My swing speed is 85-90 mph on a good day.
So cool you have found that out. I have quite and upright stance and low ball flight by average. I've added 2° of loft and it works like a charm. Well done Erich. The settings should help you that's what they are for. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Second day with my new settings and I feel like a have a new driver!!!!! seriously, for me the upright position makes a huge difference.
@@thebackyardgolfer7010 That's great to hear. Adjustability and finding the spot is for sure a thing that needs time to figure out. Very cool. Any gain in distance? Or merely the shot shape?
@@metalheads-golf distance just a little more, but, I’m telling you it’s almost impossible to miss right and at the time it’s not easy to hook, it just feels great
@@thebackyardgolfer7010 Super.
This is exactly what I was doing too! From 9 degree to 8.5. When I thought I was moving it to 10.5.
Hard to believe that true, the more you lower the loft the more you open the face.....
@@thebackyardgolfer7010 Well, you can lower the loft and close the face, or raise the loft and open the face, just by rolling the shaft a little. So it makes sense (to me at least) that the adjustment sleeve would do the opposite.
@@greggas1 I learnt that its always better to leave the club face square, you’ll start developing problems otherwise and it might hurt you game with you other clubs. Anyways there is a chart
I am going to try this setting later, currently have the occasional slice so fingers crossed.
This will definitely help anybody who slices the ball, all you are doing here is raising the lie of the club by 4 degrees, promoting a draw. Let me know how you get on, good luck.
@@thebackyardgolfer7010 definitely helped, sliced 2 all round. Getting more distance as well. Given me a lot more confidence to just let rip already. Mate said 2 of the drives were the best he's seen me hit it
@@2010LeeG That's great news, same thing happened to a buddy of mine, I changed his driver settings (upright), he came back to me a couple of weeks later and said that he was ripping his drives!!! congrats
@@thebackyardgolfer7010 cheers mate. Quite knew to it and was getting frustrated so all these little tips help. I'm surprised there is no guidance offered when buying these.
@@2010LeeG no problem, most people don't know about this setting, they only focus on lowering or increase the loft setting.
I have mine in the upright lie position on my rbz black as well. Works well.
I’m never changing it back, my drives have been super good ever since, I wish I could do the same for my irons
I always rotate my grip to square up the head so I get a straight flight. My clubs are not adjustable, and they seem to be set up to correct for a hook. This seems to work for me so I always have the same swing.
I think what's important is to have one swing for all clubs, when you start changing or having different swings for irons and woods, in my opinion is where you start to be inconsistent. For me this setting is fantastic, I mean it feels like no matter what I do, it's nearly impossible to miss it to the right!
I thought the same lower loft have a 9.0 m6 had to put it slightly higher to about 10 now
Yes so if you raise your loft to 10 you’re actually closing the face slightly and the lie angle also changes, the is a great chart that you can see from taylormade www.customclubs.de/de/news/guide-how-to-adjust-taylormade-sim-driver/
You could lower loft and put weight in the heel
What would that do? I'm pretty happy with my settings now, 4 degrees upright with standard loft...
@@thebackyardgolfer7010 I use a tsi 2 I’m still trying different weights in the head to improve flight. I have a back weighted shaft so adding weight should help with height and distance I hope. But currently off sick with a hernia, can’t wait to get going again.
@@alanburch8499 The only thing I would change is my ball flight, it's slightly high, as I increase swing speed I think I would need to lower a little bit my launch angle
I think his real problem comes with swinging "unconsciously" 😅
Unfortunately, you still have it wrong. Changing the hosel setting to lower the loft only opens up the face if you let the club head rest on its own base. When a golfer address the ball, he will hold the club and square the face to his target, this results in the lower loft you desire but not a face opened. Not many golfers will let the driver rest on the ground in its natural lie and then swing the club. They will hold the clubface at the target . You need to be more sure about what you're trying to teach people.
I’m not lowering the loft it’s a special setting that brings the club upright by 4 degrees, yes I agree if you lower the loft you open the face more
@@thebackyardgolfer7010 if you are only changing the lie angle, then you are not changing face angle or loft at all. Not close or open of the club face. The "special setting" is called Hosel. Hosel settings are always modified by the golfer at address and how they position the club face to target.
@@EvilDrDude yes exactly all taylormade drivers have a lie angle setting and this helped me so much, it the loft will stay the same, but the lie angle goes up by 4 degrees
im totally confused
Yes the more you lower the loft the more you open the face, it's true
that promotes what kind of ball flight?
/@@thebackyardgolfer7010
so an open face will promote a fade (lower the loft) and a close face will promote a draw (raise the loft). It's the opposite of what a normal golfer would think
