Most Amateurs Set Up Like This (And It’s Killing Your Driver)

Jump to Comments

Video Description

Most amateur golfers make this one setup mistake with the driver and it’s costing them distance, accuracy, and confidence off the tee.

In this live lesson, DeJohn was treating his driver like an iron, hitting down on the ball and setting up for precision instead of power. Once we adjusted his setup to match what the driver actually needs, like ball position, spine tilt, and angle of attack, the change was immediate.
✅ He turned his slice into a controlled draw✅ Gained 27 yards of carry distance✅ Started hitting it longer and straighter with ease

    Isn't the ball position more in line with lead shoulder/armpit?? Rather than the lead heel??

    I wish I was out in Cali to be coached by you guys! My driver is all over the place but a lot of slices or big fades — I hit it 320+ but super inconsistent, and you guys could help me do it every time and straight! Btw, I’m only in my 5th month of ever golfing!

    You can tell by his initial setup that maybe he's a newer golfer.. but this guy has such a natural smooth flow and great mechanics to his swing. A few small and simple tweaks and now this guy's a driving beast! Been playing for 30+ years and I wish I had the mechanics this guy has. Awesome!

    Great video. Much improved on his swing. Like to see you coach someone on how to stop pull shots, both irons and woods.

    I almost feel guilty using all these lessons and tools for free—but I really appreciate them! Of course, I like and subscribe. Thanks, Coach!

    Nice, keeping it simple tweaking the setup is the best adjustment to make. It doesn't require any conscious swing manipulations and will provide consistency over time.

    What do I need to do to get a lesson with you on the driver. I have the same issue as DeJohn.
