I'm Jim Carter, 74 and am an obvious experienced golfer. Summer here in Northern Michigan is the only opportunity we get to play. We have a Senior golf day at the local club, which by the way is over 100 years old and a great course. You asked about raise and rise. The difference is bread rises, and you raise children. So you would raise the club handle. Really enjoy your tips and golden nuggets as they have helped me in reducing my lost golf balls. I am now not so often in the woods or water so I have taken the fishing pole and rifle out of my golf bag. Recently purchased the Maxvert 2 driver and can't wait to try it out.
Thanks I’m a UK nine handicap senior - came across your channel a couple of years ago - always great tips and these are just the ones I’m after having realised I’ve lost a few yards off the tee and suffering from exactly the problems you described - many thank!
The thing that's helped my game the most is for me to concentrate on keeping my weight 70/30 on my left side(works with every club). Fixes the falling back issue almost completely. It fixes the dreaded thin and my personal hated 'fat shot' most of the time ;). It also helps if i concentrate on keeping my left foot planted.
The last tip, knees touching, does help with completing the rotation through the ball. I kept fading and or slicing out of seemingly nowhere. My son noticed the ball went the direction I was facing. Rotating to get the knees together helps pull the club through and have an ending position looking down the fairway…the direction of the belt buckle. You get stiff or tired and it’s harder to do. 59, Louisville KY
There is only one mistake seniors make when using their driver...using their driver. Either shorten it, or use a three wood. I grew up using a Wilson maple laminated block driver. The standard driver length then was 43". It's a pity that big golf company disinformation to make more money led to almost 4 foot-long drivers.
The high hands is what resonates with me. I do not slice, I'm a pull hook miss. The low hands gets me stuck, stalled then flipped causing the hook. The last time I tried to get my hands directly over my shoulder worked wonders!! One thing for others I saw Xander Schauffle talk about was "over tilting." He says amatures are told to tilt so often that they OVER tilt. If you skip your driver off the ground...you are possibly over tilted. Do as Todd says here and just bump your hip forward. If your ball is in the correct poistion forward, you will have your tilt you need.

Thanks, have you read out book The Bad Lie? You can find it here www.badliegolfbook.com
When referring to the golf handle during a driver swing, you typically use "raises" or "lifts" to describe the motion of the handle moving upward.
I bought ur book. Bad lie. With the driver, are the shoulders parallel to target or slightly right of target if ur righty?
@@jzmouse8842 thanks for the purchase. Feet, hips and shoulders are slightly closed while clubface is square to the target line.

Greetings from St Petersburg, FL. I have better control of the club if I lower my grip a little bit. Your thoughts?
Not a problem, the key to good golf is finding what works for you.
Jack and Annika!
The word is to ‘elevate’ or ‘lift’ the driver handle.

👏👏👍💪💯
For the Americans, when you raise the handle the handle rises.
