They DON'T want you to know this... to Sell 2023 DRIVERS! 

Thank you for watching guys! Let me know if you want to see more of these videos. 🙌

I still like your content, very different to the main YT golf channels that explains me every week this new piece of equipment is the best of the year.

one of or if not the best youtube video using a launch monitor ever! brilliant

Simply the best video I have seen on you tube regarding hitting a driver. We get all these other channels swinging out of their shoes to get maximum swing speed and ball speed. You have shown it’s how the ape holding the club swings and controls his swing that determines how far the ball will go. A slow swing but with the proper strike beats a wild lash every time , it’s why physical size and strength mean very little, you know when you have hit it well as you almost don’t feel the ball You have just confirmed that you cannot buy a game if your swing has core faults, lessons v buying clubs

Brilliantly explained. This is exactly what I am about to work on, firstly garden net and then Driving range. Been baffled as to why I'm averaging only 220yds when swinging fast and even bought a new modern Driver but didn't make much difference. Thankyou kindly young Sir !!

Def more videos like this. Miss those simulator videos you had before you quit working at that golf club. Miss the long drive videos also.

I need lessons.. This confirms it for me! I can hit 160mph on Top Tracer but only get 250yd total with a massive slice! I DO swing in-to-out but still manage to hit down because my wrists are too "set" throughout my swing. I can tell myself but I can't fix it myself. The few times I "let go" and relax my wrists I can smash a baby draw and get closer to 270yd carry but I feel it's still high-spinning. Suppose i'm an unusual case but this video confirms it - I need lessons!

I took my son(13y old) out on Sunday for 9 holes and he had the exact problem you're talking about on the 6 minute mark. Couldn't be better timing and a perfect explanation!

Great breakdown! I now realize I should get 10-20 yards more out of my 100 mph swing speed.

Great video. Great that you're putting your studio to benefit us immediately. I've played for years with a fellow who hits massive 300+ drives with his Ping G10 driver consistently. I like you're basic message of distance being a product of the archer probably more than the arrow.

I recently switched from a Taylormade Sim driver, to a Nike Vapor driver (obviously used). Yeah... I went backwards with technology! However, I absolutely love the Nike Vapor!!! The only bad thing I have to say about it; is that I am kind of bummed that Nike gave up, when they seemed to finally figure it all out! I guess I will be a Nike golf collector! They are becoming rarer every year, but still available to date. I better get to collecting before the availability dries up!

One of the best videos on RU-vid! Thank you

Simon the best blog I have seen explaining this in a simple way first class mate 👍👍

Excellent video that. I've always struggled with understanding the driver club face ... Irons never a problem but to deloft and hit up never made sense to my mind conceptually; it does now, so thanks. It will genuinely help me a lot

This might be my favorite video you’ve made! So many instructors feel like they are talking at you, while you make it much more engaging and practical!

Knowledge is power. You provide clear unbiased information which benefits many a golfer. You may not be popular with golf club manufacturers but we love you!

Great video Simon very interesting just go's to show no matter how new and expensive the equipment is its only a small piece of the puzzle

You are the king of getting the most out of what you have! 👍

Thank you for this explanation, I can now work on my technique with some understanding. Cheers from New Zealand

Really well explained, great use of the studio and equipment to put across what our expectations should be with our swing speed. Just need to make myself hit the ball from the inside instead of over the top. Any swing thoughts or techniques to help this? Keep up the great content.

Really helpful Simon! Thanks for breaking this down.

One of your very best video’s. Lots of truth in it….Thanks..

Awesome lesson, thanks Simon taking the time to explain what the numbers mean on the monitor and how to change them for the better. Would like to see more lesson videos. The new studio looks great, I'm loving the Nike bag on left of the screen. Thanks for sharing.

Best video I’ve seen for years, thanks

Very interesting timing for me personally. I am new to golf (at least semi-serious golf) and I too was sucked in to believing that a new driver was all I needed to cure my issues, as I have a lower swing speed too, although I'm in the high 80's and low 90's. Anyway, after buying a Callaway Epic Speed and a Cobra Rad Speed XB, I saw very little to no improvement in my game so I took the last dreaded path, lessons! lol. I booked some lessons and learned a ton. So this off season I thought back to those purchases I made and I went to an indoor golf place with my old Cobra F-Max from 2017 and compared them. Perhaps not too surprising, I was hitting all 3 of those drivers within 10 yards of one another. What I've learned is don't be shy to open up your stance to widen or lengthen your swing, make certain you are gripping the club properly and most of all, relax!! Relaxed muscles move faster than tense muscles, so free and easy will produce more power in the golf swing. Great vid btw!

Great video with lots good info, easy to follow and understand, thx Simon 🎉

The studio looks amazing simon looking forward to more content from the new home of SAS.

Great video Simon, makes it blatantly obvious buying the next new driver will not help. Spend half the cost of new on lessons and improve your driving

Great video. When I went for a iron lesson I started hitting it longer when I was swinging it slower 🤣 My coach showed me how to swing and all he really changed was my take off and shorten my back swing. All of a sudden iwas gaining yards. But much more important I was getting very consistent all of a sudden. A small baby draw and hitting the same yards on most shots. Instead of a fade to slice shot that could vary 10-20 yards

Brilliant. There must be a matrix of club/ball speed/club loft/spin loft. I'd love to see that

Interesting stuff! Looking forward to my lesson next week!

Thanks Simon. That's easily your best video yet. Would love to see more

I have to comment again, as I find this video so helpful that you explained so well. Thanks again Simon. Saved to my favourites.

Yes please Simon. That's very interesting and highlights a problem that I have perfectly. I know what I'm meant to do, but not how to address it. Very useful.

Simon, quite simply the best explanation out there of what you need to do to hit great drives. Getting the technique to do it is another thing, but at least I know the goal. Can't wait for my next range session 👍

Just wanted to say really like the way you're growing your content and your channel. Keep up the excellent work. And congrats on your beautiful new facility.!

Great video Simon. I started golfing 5 years ago now with an old set of clubs my buddy loaned me. Bought my driver based on a video of yours. The Cobra F-9. You said it looked like bumblebee from transformers but you hit it well and seemed surprised. Lol. Since then I've had it fitted and learned the correct way to hit it and i honestly don't think i could do better with any of the new drivers. Consistent and down the middle is always the best.

Simon, now that you have your studio up and running your instructional videos are top drawer. As senior golfer just getting back into the sport, the level of information you impart is brilliant and makes total sense. I know my driver will go 235yds as I’ve measured it, but more often than not it’s nearer 200. My thinking has been to chase more ball speed, when clearly that’s not the answer. I’m off to the range to work on your advice. Thanks again. Great content.

My compliments to whoever trimmed your beard 👌

just found your channel, liked this very much, i look to see more

Fantastic information explained so well. I wish there was a GCQuad somewhere in town I could test some things. sigh. Definitely don't know what loft I should be using or even what my swing speed is... or my AoA or club path.. etc. hard to fix what you can't quantify.

Brilliant video Simon, I used to have ball speed around 168 mph as a 22hcp, changed to an extra stiff and it's around 145 to 155 now but glad to see if I fix my slice then I should see better results than buying a new club

Great video Simon you explain it in a way that is clear to understand

Single best video I've seen in a long time... Simon, awesome. Studio fab, sign me up. J

Excellent video Simon, really well explained. I swing at around 90mph and aim for around 220 carry . I have gained distance by slowing down and making better contact. Just need to get it consistent now

That is a great lesson Simon. One that I’ve managed to take on board with significant success 👍👍👍

Oh and by the a review of the new Costco Kirtland irons would be great as they come out.

Brilliant! Just bought secondhand g425 and was considering new here in Oz. Saved me a heap of money. 55gm Stiff shaft and 9 deg lofted up to 10.5. Hoping this helps with swing path. Old driver was epic flash 10.5 with reg 50gm shaft. I swing at 90 to 100mph. Crappy little, but playable fade/slice off the tee that would balloon that was safe for me but only went 200 yards. I can hit my 5 wood off the tee further than that and was wondering why. Going to get to work on that swing path now!! Thank you!!!

Great video mate, the basic principles of launch conditions and strike are often ignored when shiny new clubs get launched 👍

Explained perfectly, thanks Simon.

Nice video! Plain facts, no marketing speak, understandable. 👍

Thank you my man for making this video, you explained the angles very good and it was really helpful for someone like me!

Great as always Simon, happy for your studio and wish you lot more subs here! You deserve. Best wishes from germany

What an awesome video!! Saving golfers tons of $$$$$$$$$$$

Thanks Simon good info wish I could think of all that when I’m hitting the ball and I can’t afford a 25,000 dollar gizmo to tell me all that lol great video

This is so good. Well explained.

Good video my max with driver is 85 mph 215 total with RBZ black driver 5 degrees up

Great video and very well explained .

Clearly explained. Good lessons are worth more than new clubs.

Great Video Simon thank you.

I tend to have high spin at the moment and get about 200-210 carry, i know I need to hit up but not had time to practice

awesome tip Simon. Thank you for this. Studio looking good too 🙌

Love this common sense approach to commercialisation. I know a scratch player who’s entire bag and clubs are from the 80s (Slazenger brand!), and I’ve seen better sets for 100 quid in a charity shop.

Super speed golf put out a chart, easily searchable online, that reflects how far you should hit every club in the bag based on your driver head speed. While it may not be 100% accurate because of the quality of hit, efficiency rating, but it surely is easily 95% accurate or better. Plus it gets you in the ballpark. You can also find relative distances Average PGA Tour Players, LPGA players, Senior Tour players, based on launch monitor data. Excellent comparing tool

I totally agree with max distance on centred strikes with same clubpath and AA. Is there any truth to new drivers maintaining ball speed and spin rates not jumping up on off centred strikes?

That was a really well explained

How can we get to know all the data without a GC quad? is there a cheaper alternative to help us with the numbers? Great video by the way.

Cracking Video Simon

Really good Simon

Great info Simon and a really interesting breakdown. I’ve watched a LOT of RU-vidrs talking about Driver and this is one of the free really valuable lessons. Path and face man. I sometimes hit mine 290 and other times 220. Now I know why….! Cheers

Your never getting a invite to the PGA merchandise show in orlando Lolol. Your picture will be up all over. Lolol. Great content.

Great video as always. Just wondered what stickers you use for your GC Quad and where can you buy them online? Our local club has a GC Hawk and without club data always leaves me guessing over AoA and club path. Thanks

Great vid , very useful bro 😎

Unbelievable vid mate 🙏

Great video this. Good insights all round

Very informative and a great reason to consider a used driver

Great video. Such good explanation and advice. So many golfers chasing distance by buying new drivers instead of better technique. A question, at what point in the downswing should be the highest mph speed for efficient strike? At impact or after impact?

Great video Simon, you look very comfortable in your new office 👍⛳️ You would love my new driver Simon. Mizuno 300S from 2001 I bought from the U.S for £80 delivered. These retailed at $900 in 2001 following the victory of Vijay Singh at the Masters in 2000 using that very driver 👍🏆⛳️

Great stuff👏🏻👏🏻

Thank bud... Well explained there. And by the way I like your studio, congratulation bud🍻

Great video

The only improvement in recent years is ball speed on off center hits and dispersion narrowing. Shafts have been bigger improvements than heads

I gripped down on my driver at the range the other day. It went a lot straighter!?

great breakdown wish i was a little younger would love to have a lesson with you but at what age do you just accept you just cant change

Woukd love a lesson

for all intensive purposes

Magic content

How do I work on launch angle? Finding I’m hitting a 9.5 deg driver with a launch angle of 20 degrees (or more)

So how often do you.use a driver per round?

Eye opening Simon. ;>)

Cracking vid

But how do you correctly deloft the driver ?

Simon, how do you reduce your spin loft without doing crazy things with your hand forward.

Strike is king no matter what speed you hit it at.

Makes me feel alot better about my game hitting 140mph ball speeds as a 38hcp just need the rest of my game to catch up to my driver I guess

102.1mph 1.54SF 6.0 attack angle 1448 spin 277.6carry 304total 112 height I have the photo to prove PXG 2023 0211 hzrdus blue 6.0

I hit my driver 230 yards and have been playing for 20 years. manufacture claim driver distance increases of 5-7 percent each time a new driver is made because of technology. If at a 5% increase of distance each year, then in the twenty years I have been playing I should be 2.7 times at my driving distance which equate to 621 yard. can someone explain to me why am I still hitting 230 or less

All intensive purposes, priceless

Well if you can gain me some club head speed and driver distance when I visit you then I believe it will be as miraculous as Jesus turning water into wine😂Really interesting video, well done 👏

Simon its intents and purposes not "intesive purposes.
