How to Hit Golf Drives Straight & Far (Simple Tip) 

Let me know what you want to see next!

Grant you should analyse viewer's swings. I think it would help out a lot of us higher handicappers!

Absolutely love these teaching videos, Grant! Thank you for sharing. If you could make a video on hitting woods off fairways, that would be super appreciated!

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.

Thank you so much for this video. Help and worked for my driver swing today. Found my new setup. Awesome 😊

Great lesson Grant. Simplicity is what amateur golfers need. We don't need multiple thoughts going through our heads every time we swing the club. And you gotta love the effortless swing,

I'm absolutley loving the content GH! Thanks for sharing with us!

I only discovered you over the past few days but your content is brilliant. I'm not new to golf but I've recently rediscovered my love for it but I'm still just as bad as I always was. Hoping to actually try and lower my handicap this year.

Watched your video last night and had one of the best days with the driver in a long time. Great stuff!! Keep it up

Thank you Grant!! Definitely needed this one!! ❤

Great tips! Can’t wait to get out to the range and put them to work. Thanks Grant

These quick videos are great for little improvements. Putting weight on my front foot helped immensely with my chipping today

Thanks Coach, I will video myself and hopefully use this lesson to improve my game. I sure need it.

You're one of my most favorite people, easily one of my favorite you tube personalities. You seem like a legit good person, tell your parents thanks for me.

Great video Grant! I would love a video about irons, for example what the impact position should be like

Would love a video for the northern winter golfers in our off season. Maybe good practice tips we can work on in the house when we can’t be out on the course.

Thank you for this lesson bro! 3 fundamentals appreciate you

Hey Grant awesome vid man. Love what you do and all the content you put out there / collab on. 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

Grant Great lesson! Love your passion! Keep em comin! 😍👏👏👏

Thanks Grant! Love your advice!

Great video again, thanks. It would be great if you could give tips on how to have consistent ball striking with irons and wedges. I wouldnt even know where to start on how to avoid chunking or toping a ball.

Hey Grant, great video , gave me some things to work on. Can you do part 2 and discuss grip, posture, and arm position. I hit the ball much better today but I was fading the ball, how can I correct that? Love your videos, so much fun.

Really enjoy your videos. Very basic, easy to understand and retain. Do you have a training video on hitting a 5-wood vs 5-hybrid. Thanks

Thank you so much Grant! I’m gonna out on the course and work on that because driver has been a week point in my game.

Liked and subscribed before the video even started. This is the channel we need!

Great vid. I feel like a lot of other videos assume you know the fundamentals, which is why this is so great for a complete amateur like me.

Grant you're an absolute stud loving these videos !

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.😊

That lefty shout-out did not go unnoticed! Appreciate you & your videos, Grant!

Great video as always! Look forward to a video of best ways to “punch” shots.

Cheers grant this video has helped a lot with my swing especially ball position have you got video on iron swing

It would be really helpful if you could discuss wrist angles and releasing the driver on impact. I'm adjusting my grip to try and control for draws vs fades on the release but I can't figure out how to do one or the other consistently.

Enjoying the heck out of following your and your friends progress... Best of luck...

Grant this was very helpful! I have been doing the first 2 steps, but sometimes I forget how important that third step is of loading into the back leg. Although this is my first year actually playing golf, those tips are helpful. My driver swing still has a ways to go from creating massive slices, but these tips will keep me consistent even before the swing. Thank you sir!

watched this video this morning. Warmed up with these tips. Then had one of the better rounds of my life today. Thanks Grant!

Grant, please do a video on what forces you put into the HANDLE just before/after impact. Thank you, nice channel.

Thank you for the baseball reference. That is a language I can understand. And mentioning the left-handed setup as well. Appreciate it.

Hey Grant. Great video for driver. I’ll definitely use your suggestions at the range and course. Can you do a video for the 3 wood? Thanks dude.

Thanks bro this really helps

The ball position line helped huge 🎉

You make it look so easy, almost effortless. wish my body would move the way it does in my head!!

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

Great video. Can you do a video on what your hands and wrist are doing on your back swing thanks

excellent video!! that makes perfect sense..

I’d love a video on how to implement swing changes effectively. I struggle to change my swing and keep it changed.

Thanks for the tips! Big question is how to you prevent slicing the ball with your driver?

The video i needed. Exactly how i need it

Hi Grant. big fan of yours since you were in good good. I love about you passionate in helping people out on the course. recently I have been playing at some cheaper course but I've come into some driver off tee boxes issue. How to hit driver when there's side slope on the tee box, like ball above feet and below? and what should I do when there's a slight downhill on the tee boxes, too? thanks in advance

Another key thing is the right setup in the driver! Shaft, head lie/loft i was using a stealth 2 hd with a 50g shaft switched to a 60g extra stiff and picked up ball speed and legit 30 yeards to 40 yards further drives with a tighter grouping! Fittings are so underated

Great instruction, Grant. What degree of loft is your driver? I heard Mason say his is set at 4°. Mine only goes down to 8!

Using the ground in your swing might be great to build off this. ( this translates to irons too) most seem to swing all Arms.

Hey the tips helped a lot next I would like to see how to hit irons maybe long and midium I have been struggling to hit them consistently thank you

Well done. I’m curious your takes on driver arm and wrist and hand action.

Can you show us the differences of hitting driver with draw vs cut,? And you have mention that you got a stock shot of fairway finder when you see a more narrow fairway. Can you make a video talking about your houghts from start to finish the shot? Always love your channel.

@GrantHoravatTeaches, in my case I hit the ground sometimes before I hit the ball. How do you fix that? I have been adjusting by going forward on my toes and leaning more to my left.

Awesome video I'm struggling with the driver I will do those tips for the driver.

Grant, Love the content and excited you are doing this channel. Can you help me on this... I'm a very muscular guy and have a hard time opening up and having full mobility. Any tips or teachings you can help me with to achieve better and more consistent contact?

First, Grant, have always loved your lab videos, really help me out. I hit my driver 12 degree, the same distance as my three wood, 15.5 degree. When I hit my driver on a track man, my launch angle on driver is like 18 degree, yet my 3 wood stays around the 15.5 degrees. Does this come from hitting down on driver? Or hitting up too much?

Amazing swing

Needed this

I will give it a try. I was carrying drive 245 to 255 but i carry my 3wood the same distance so i gave up on my driver. I will load that hip and see what happens. Great video Grant.

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?

How do you load or where do you feel your weight with an iron swing? Do you not do the same push off of the back leg?

The "tilt" comment is what I do using the Moe Norman swing. Thanks for these types of videos Grant.

Thanks Grant!

Hi dear Grant,hopefully u can make a program for the difference of the long irons and short icorns ,especially the 4 iron ha❤

I've said this on a lot of YT lessons, there is not a lot of people who talk about the severe push slice (most "slice" driver fixes only talk about coming over the top) - but you can absolutely have an in to out swing path and still hit a massive slice. And I think this problem has more to do with getting stuck with hips at impact (not getting the left hip back and out of the way) and then standing up on impact, causing the hands to be ahead of the clubhead & ball with a wicked open face; despite being very in to out. Anyhow, not a lot of videos talk about how to get that left hit back and out of the way at impact to have a clean release and follow through. I'd love to see tips on that.

Grant, can you give me advice on getting to handsy or flipping. Is there a good practice technique to help fix it?

I find that feeling that the right leg straightens during the course of the backswing is a good way to help ensure loading the right side.

Thanks boss🫡 now I will drive it straight and then three putt haha. Thanks for the tips dude! Also congrats on the marriage!

Can you do a tutorial of the golf swing from set up to finish for beginners?

I understand that high launch and low spin increases distance. How do you reduce spin? Is it a product of the kind of golf ball or driver fitting or both?

Grant I have watched every single one of your videos on this channel and so far i have shed some strokes off my game. Still trying to break 90 but everyone tells me i do not have a +90 swing (never had a lesson). I was mainly commenting to ask if you could do a video that shows your swing in slow motion just to see what your hands are doing in relation to the club face. Your swing looks effortless, keep up the good content. I live in Southeast Georgia so for a lesson i'd am more than willing to drive down to Florida haha. Congrats on getting married btw.

Great vid grant

Any opinion on having a stronger grip when hitting a driver compared to your other clubs

can you add hand grip.. strong vs. neutral vs. weak grip when hitting a driver. thanks!

Please do a video like this for every club in the bag!

I want to see you come to Dayton Ohio and give me a golf lesson hahah nice video!

Thank you

Mate, a video on how to get your smooth and tasty tempo would be great!

Any tips for the shoulder tilt? I struggle with keeping my weight balanced when trying to tilt my shoulders. The weight wants to go onto the back foot.

Grant you're the man

This helped me a lot. I hit 13 fairways and hit 5 long shots 270 yards.

Do you start with your hips turning first or bringing the hands down

Nice video - do one for irons 👍

Aerosols. Came to this video cause something was wrong with my driver swing after winter. And I couldn’t figure it out. I was getting to steep and going everywhere. Got it back from just few things you said thanks my man

Short iron tutorial would be awesome 👍🏼👍🏼

Do you ever use alignment rod to mark the bottom of the swing where you start to come up? I think knowing when to start coming up with the driver head is my weakest point.

Would love to see a video on hitting the driver in the center of the club face. For some reason I always hit mine off the heel and can't fix it.

Thanks Grant! Also, where can I get that hat?

Thanks

Any tips to generate more clubhead speed would be amazing

First

I’m struggling to hit my 4 and 5 iron, a guide to hitting low irons would be great!

The deep trail hip is what so many players miss. I think it’s because everyone teaches positions before body movement these days. If mid to high handicappers knew how much a proper pivot would improve their game in the short term, the training aid market would be cut in half. All that to say, it’s good to hear someone actually mention pivot and the trail hip getting deep and loaded. Good stuff 😎

Driveway marker alignment stick FTW!

Grant, why i always hit the ground before the ball when i add tilt my shoulders? Thanks

I appreciate this simply because my driver… is by FAR the weakest part of my game 😂😂. Granted, I am brand new and I’ve played 9 holes so far, but even on the range, my irons are so clear and away better and more consistent than my driver. So these tips are gold for me right now

for me, I was finding myself shortening the swing on my driver, which messed up my timing resulting in a lot of pushes. After figuring that out, my swing thought was "slow and full".. slowing down the takeaway while focusing on a full rotation on the back swing. I changed nothing else and almost instantly my ball straightened out. More often then not, its the more a simple change makes the biggest impact.

hey grant, I struggle as when using the driver i tend to hit big fades and sometimes duck hooks with the driver, 15 handicap. I can hit my irons pure but for some reasons unknown to me the technique goes out the window with driver. Most inconsistant club in my bag which sucks. I know If i could hit more fairways with my drive id be 10 or under in the HC department. Any suggestions?
