Driver swing made Simple | how to hit it further & More consistent 

The man says "I'm not a teacher" and explains for 10:00 minutes the easiest explanation to create speed and power in a golf swing...perfectly. Tig, this is an excellent video. It "clicked" for me, when I saw the stop on your down swing, and then saw the swing on repeat. You can see every single thing you are talking about. This video deserves to be watched by any one who wants to improve their golf game.

This is the best video you’ve ever done. Love that you kept both angles of your shot on repeat on the right side as you were explaining everything too. Very helpful. Excellent content, Tig!

Hope people realize what a gem of info this is!! This man literally is the authority of long ball! Thank you Tig!!

This video was way less technical and way more helpful than 90% of the driver videos I’ve seen. Awesome stuff!

A revelation for me was 1. the first tip you mentioned: stability with your lower half. Legs stay bent through the swing and are always in balance. Hips do not thrust at the ball. After that the next revelation was 2. Extending your right arm fully at the bottom of the swing where you make contact with the ball. That mindset makes you realize you have to have your hips turned quite a bit at impact or else you’ll hit it fat. So, thinking right arm fully extended at the bottom and you’ll naturally make the right moves to make that happen. Great video!

By far the best driver tutorial I've watched. Didn't over complicate it or explain the swing as a 20 step process. Watched this video a couple days ago, and went to the range today. Best day at the range I've ever had. My swing finally has that whip it was missing, and as someone else said, it finally all "clicked." Truly helped improve my swing in just one quick session at the range. Wanted to come back and give a simple thank you, Micah!

Micah, I always felt this type of content was your strong suit and you do a very good job at explaining things and getting the "feel" style for the viewers which is hard to explain. Well done 👌🏼 👏🏼

Amazing. I'm middle aged. I played baseball growing up and always tried to swing from the start of the backswing with full power. Tig telling me to "whip" the club at the end instead and HOLY CRAP. I just hit my target 8/10 times with a very loud snap, but 2 of them also pressed the target hard enough to put net lines in it. Can't wait to hit the range to try this!!!

Im happy to see you being able to play on a competitive level like you have Micah, Ive been watching good good and your videos for about 3 years and you're grind is something to look up to, keep pushing man!

You are absolutely correct on all points. I do exactly like you. I'm 65 years old, 5 8" and 155 lbs. and I can still hit it 255yards. All of my speed comes at the bottom and a proper release.

Really smart editing on this one. Nice to be able to look at your swing as you're talking about the points in the swing without having to rewind and stuff. Really great Micah

Mate... I went to the range immediately after watching this video. I had an issue with over extending on the back swing and somehow I seem to have lost about 5mph in the last 6 months for some reason. The minute I tried your techniques given in this video I gained 14mph ball speed immediately and consistently.... bravo 🙏🏼 now carrying about 240 yards and couldn't been happier.

Great video. Love the detail on building speed with the hinge with multiple angles and highlights. The visual helped me understand why I was having difficulty with opening up my stance and connected some dots. Much needed and appreciated!

Hey Micah, So never been into golf and my partner who's crazy about golf has got me loving the sport. We watch you everyday and love the tips and just watching your skill. Hope you get to 250k subscribers ❤

Confession here. Prior to this video, because Tig and I have such similar builds, I completely modeled my swing after his. Focusing a lot on the one piece take away you mentioned and also the compact backswing while really trying to compress the ball. Was huge for the program in terms of consistency, not to mention distance. Thanks TIG!

Really appreciate the quality explanation along with all of the visuals! The angle and the slow-motion were perfect. I really appreciate you and everyone associated with you ....meaning all of the GOOD people at Good Good golf!!!!

I was getting sideways with all the information on driving and trying so much stuff that it hurt my game. Not sure how this video popped up in my feed but it came at the perfect time. You have reminded me to go back to the basics and simplify the swing and having gone to the range, it felt so comfortable and dependable. I’m not a long hitter so I can use every yard I can find. Thanks for this!

I’m so glad you did a video on gaining speed. Obviously you have a ton more speed than most people. You’ve talked and played with Kyle. I am looking for a little more from my driver and I love hearing how the best do it!

Being skinny and light myself, I’ve always found that width in the backswing is an important part of creating speed, as well as very obviously hitting the ball in the center of the club face. Thanks for bringing that part up, this was a great video!

Appreciate it, Micah! Makes perfect sense. Showing the area where speed should be generated has cut my slicing down and I'm saving my arms and back trying to swing hard from the top. Easy day.

This video is gold. i drove the ball terribly this weekend but after watching this video and implementing these tips on the range i’m feeling so confident with my driver now! thanks tigs

Micah - I ran across your video while searching how to get more distance with EVERY golf club. I thank the stars above for directing me to your video! I started golfing at the age of 70 -have taken lessons from every teacher in my area & no one has helped me with more distance or topping the ball. I have increased my driver loft from 12.5 to 14.5 (Big Bertha Reva) hoping that would give me more loft. The simple explanation you give on "cracking the bullwhip" when hitting the ball turned a light on in my brain. I have since lowered my driver loft to the standard 12.5 & had one of my best games ever yesterday using ALL of your tips. Thank you, Thank you & Thank you again.

Thanks M&M. That’s an excellent tip about compressing the ball with a snap bro. I will remember to keep that incorporated into my swing thought.

This a brilliant driving video Micah. The emphasis you put on that strike zone is right on I think, as the power you create at the ball is amazing! Another thing that helps in my swing is remembering to move into the downswing with my hips just before I complete the backswing. It seems to improve my momentum and club tracking.

Do more of this. Great video Micah. This is better than most instructional videos I watch. Most instructors make things too complicated.

Micah I have to say thank you thank you, I was practicing and only topping 111 chs but remembered this 'feel stable' and widened quite a lot the feet plus the Padraig Harrington tip of always keeping moving before the swing. I have instantly enabled +4 mph with that! More than my 6 months super speed training.

Perfect timing! Going to work on my driver today to get it tuned up for the season. Watching this first

Can't wait to get on the range to try these tips. The snapping of the wrists through impact seems so simple but so important. No clue why this is the first time I'm ever hearing driver explained that way but it just makes so much sense.

Micah, love the video. Lots of great info here to take into this season. Thank you!

I have been an 11 handicapper for years now and my driver has always been a hit and miss but I went to the range tonight, widened my stance, squatted slightly to use my legs and holy crap what a difference. This video was so simple in explaining the driver swing. Off to comp tomorrow to snap hook it on the firs hole haha

Love this. Its not often people tell you how they personally feel as they hit. People like to talk positions you never here people say fire the wrists in the manor you just did. This is my favourite video ever

I think Rory has talked about him working on this himself, with NOT trying to hinge his wrist and just creating width. So, his early wrist hinge is probably something that he works on NOT doing too much of. He's Rory, like you said, it's really not something that obviously bothers his clubhead speed too much. Thanks for the awesome lesson, I am 58yrs old, and this is something that I am discovering. There is a feeling of a snap, as you say, a whip, a sudden change in direction, and also the hands seem to feel a pull at the bottom and go from slightly lower place to a higher place at impact. Hard to describe with words. This is one of the best lessons I've ever seen on RU-vid....on any subject, not just golf.

Yes, you aren't a teacher Micah BUT this is probably the best instructional video I've ever watched.. You explained things like you were talking to a friend and it made sense!! Golf instructional videos are so ridiculous nowadays with all the gimmicky tutorials so this was perfect! Time to test this out! Thank you!!!

This guy’s weight transfer is some of the best in the world

Wow man this video helped me so much. Thank you so much. Focusing on a smoother start to the downswing really helped with my striking! Loving all the content dude keep it coming 👍🏼

Excellent video, both visually and informationally. Probably your best one yet.

This is an amazing video thank you so much bro. I can’t remember that while I’m on the driving range but unfortunately on the golf course I swing from the top. So I’m glad I find your video and it should help me a lot!!! I like that you have a very simple way of explaining things ⛳️

Great video. The guys i play with used to play baseball. I try to tell them to think like a sidearm pitcher instead of like a batter in order to create lag and snap through the ball. Skipping flat rocks on a pond or river is a good drill for young or new golfers, too. Same weight transfer, same rotation, same snap through the zone.

Thank you for this video Tig! Big tips that are helping me gain more speed and distance in my driver swing!

Micah, I know this is an old post and you may not see it but this was very helpful. for some reason the way you explained clicked with me. I'm a 3 hc and hit the ball pretty far as/is but after heading to the range I was reaching 290 carry. Finally found the slot - Thanks!

Dawg!!!! This video is straight gold. The people need more of these videos. Thank you so much for this one! 👌❤️

Great explanation on how to hit it far. The snapping of a rope is a great analogy that helped me understand what you were teaching. Thanks!

So good. 👍🏼 I think a lot of amateur golfers swing with passive hands. It’s good that you mentioned how the hands are involved at impact in quickly releasing them.

Thanks for this video. I have been struggling with club head speed and accuracy and you just made me realise the correct way to actually introduce speed to a golf swing.

Thanks for this, I've tried to explain the almost passive "whip" at the bottom so many times and you nailed it. It's almost like you're pulling back on the handle, but I'm afraid to recommend that feeling as it's gonna create other problems unless someone already gets it.

Micah's swing is easily the most efficient I have ever seen, and I have played and followed the game closely for over 50 years.

Great instructional Micah, the wrist release is the one my students suffer trying to feel. But your dead right about using ground and the release at bottom third of swing. Great stuff. Loving all your vids..

This man can only talk this well about his golf swing because of the amount of time he's put into the game. What we see is this 10 minute video but I guarantee you the gems are the results of insane hours of practice and studying. Pure grind and consistent hard work day-in and day-out. Micah, I respect, honor, and acknowledge your dedication and work ethic, it is inspiring.

👍. My biggest issue is what my wrist should feel like when making impact with the ball.

Another top level video With me only being 5ft 5 this will help me a lot to gain a bit more distance take these tips to the range with the next time I go Keep you the great work your doing and good luck for the season ahead Watching from the uk

Can’t wait to try some of these tips on the range. Some food for thought for sure!

Continue with these videos! You were very informative and helpful. Been wanting to see you make some teaching videos and glad you started! Next one should be 2 iron or irons

So glad I stumbled on this video. I went outside and practiced with a broom and then a driver. I had to get in high grass to slow the club down. Thanks

Thanks Micah- love your videos! I see too many golfers start that hard, fast swing RIGHT AT THE TOP, and I immediately look to the right, in the woods, for that big slice they're about to hit by not being able to square up the club! 😎⛳

Very helpful! Could you do one with exercises or maybe just more of a breakdown of your lower body? I know I lack in using “ground power” and I imagine most golfers do too! Thanks Tig!

Your videos are awesome and informative ! Just took up golf lessons and totally psyched about it.

I just found your channel the other day in my recommended video's and just wanted to let you know in digging it. You make some great content. Keep up the great work

Adam not so much this video but other videos I've watched You definitely helped my back swing to get more on plane your videos are great and you do a great job Thank you

Micah, this is the most clear, concise, and best explanation I have ever heard explaining the driver swing. My two big takeaways: 1. Slow is Fast, Fast is Far. Thinking about my best drives over the past few months, they were drives that I pretty much swung as slowly as I could, and maintained width. 2. Where you develop speed, and even more importantly the centripetal force effect of the release from P6, as you extend the left leg, increasing speed. I've been having a hard time "timing" the left leg part, and typically extend it too soon. Off to practice now!!! p.s. Your swing really reflects the "slow is fast"' axiom... great tempo... smooth acceleration.

Great video, I’ve been working on getting faster in the bottom half of my swing to build distance and speed. I’ve seen Bryson and Martin doing this a bit as well

Crazy good video! Wish I’d have found something like this years ago when first figuring out driver. Cheers my guy. Great content

Good video man. I been feeling more of my hip popping up on my shots and its translating to more distance. This explained what's happening pretty well. Now i gotta practice this more. Also the easy swing is definitely giving me more distance and more playable second shots

Great video! I need to find this technique again, I’ve had moments of it in the past but loose it quickly, it feels like more club speed with less swing. It’s the holy grail and you should do more videos on this same thing with even slower slow motion footage, everyone should see this. It always shocks me how in control (and look slow) your swing looks but be able to produce such huge club head speed, really wish I can learn this “magic”!

Probably the video we’ve all been waiting for…thanks Micah!!

The analogy of cracking a whip makes perfect sense to me, thanks! Looking forward to my next range session.

You might not be a teaching pro, but you explained it so much better and detailed. Good job Tig!

Thank you so much. I am 56 yrs old, started playing at 13. I am a lefty, but got dad's hand me down righty clubs and was damn glad I got them. After 40+ years and with some aches n pains, I switched to lefty 2 years ago. I am very athletic for my age and I think young, so I am relearning golf as a lefty. I shoot high 80's to low 90's as a righty and I believe with today's video you blessed us with I can shoot in the high 80's again. I am mid nineties currently with a couple dozen rounds at lefty. I practice your method and it works for me and made a big difference. I will never be a great golfer, but I think I can do something now that not that many people can do, is in ones life shoot 90's from both sides. Thank you..

Awesome great refresher and simplified way of doing it

I'm naming this lesson Ground Whip! Great content with a simple breakdown that even I can grasp.

added that whip at the bottom on the range today while concentrating on smoothing the rest of the swing really helped calmed down a few issues I've been struggling with and I was bombing straight consistently. The grouping on the face on the center was interesting as well. Looking forward to adding a bit more crouch and spring in further sessions. I'm a small guy myself and have been averaging 290 this summer off the tee with regular drives in the 310 to 320 range...if these little tweaks help get me up to a 300 average with 320-330 on occasion, I'll be stoked. Thanks Tig :)

This is such a helpful video! Thanks so much, you really fixed my golf swing!

Micah this was a great video brother. Ive never thought of the rope snapping analogy. Genius

After a frustrating session tonight this video has me wanting to get back out there. Great job man!

Excellent video. Can't wait to try this out at the range. Thx.

I like your humbility and explanation. Thanks for your video, hopefully it will help to get my drive handicap down from hcp 30 and drive distance up from 180 avg!

Great video! Very well explained! Thanks Coach Tig

This video is gonna be so helpful, I love seeing the ball fly for miles

Your balance is EPIC! Great video.

Such a quality video Micah. Appreciate this one.

That was a great video, explained the content extremely well. Thanks so much!

One of best looking swings out there of anyone including tour pros.

Awesome video Micah. Very insightful

This is amazing, thank you for sharing this info. Keep them coming!!

Had a few of my theories confirmed by u Micah. Thank u for the video. Well done!!!

Very well explained Micah. Keep up the aggressive and believe your game is capable of anything.

For me, it feels like the right forearm is "popping" thru impact. Your video should help a lot of people; it took me a long time to discover I couldn't get this release feel if I was trying to kill the ball from the top of the swing.

thanks for such a clear explanation .really helped

Excellent job here Micah. Many thanks

you have grown a lot as a person and golfer, since you came into the scene, couple of years ago. hope to see more of this.

Bro super excited to work on this!! Thx a lot for the helpful advice! 💥

Thanks you for sharing, beautiful swing, lots and lots of trail and Era, Good for you , must be a great feeling !

This is super helpful! Thanks Micah!

Good stuff! I enjoyed watching this video. Hope to apply it to my swing soon. Thanks!

Been waiting for this video. Thanks

Great, simple , relatable and understandable. Cheers from Canada

Great video Tig! Love your content.

Best video you've ever done in my opinion

Very helpful, I’ve been hitting my driver a lot more consistently this winter and I’ve just been trying to add speed and this makes alotta sense, also never thought about the little tilt, appreciate it tig

Love it Tig, such a good driver of the ball.

Thanks micah great vid would love to see more content like this
