How about when you’re swinging and you’re getting lots of RPM like 4,000 to 5,000 range., with an occasional low 3000 rpm. I am trying not to overswing but I’m finding the ball to only go like 225 yd to 250 yd one. I know it can go much further. It feels absolutely effortless but just doesn’t go anywhere. 10 years ago you told me I swung over the top. I just finally figured out how to get my irons to go an extra 10 to 25 yd watching your last video making sure I’m using both pendulums. The driver is just a mystery at this point and somehow in the last decade I managed to hit a few shots in front of friends 300. Plus I’m pretty confident my swing speed. It’s somewhere between 105 and 115 so the power is there. I think my order of operations is a little confused. Thoughts on how to reduce the RPMs?
Give me your numbers? Angle of attack, side spin, backspin, launch angle, smash factor or efficiency factor, and club speed. Also, your driver specs, shaft weight, flex, club head brand and model, loft, and ball used.
Thank you Shawn. Swing Data is attached. I hope it has all the data and is legible. My driver is a TaylorMade M3 with 2 weights set to Low (i.e. both forward in the low position) and set to 1 notch to the right of “Lower”. The Shaft is a Tensei CK Series 60 Flex-S White. …also I tried to use what I learned from the following videos which seems to help a bit during this swing session…. an uncomfortably closed grip (from “Backswing Series videos) & from the position in the backswing from the “Special Backswing Drill to Help Turn and Width” video to help stay balance and then a great wrist hinge on the swing follow through.
That is a big help! You can see that your path to the left is causing a lot of curve to the right and this will increase the backspin significantly. Notice the more curve to the right the more backspin you get?
So work on your grip and your release; with the “important grip update” and the “important release update” videos, as well as the “alignment reset series” to deliver through the arc blur. Distance to ball is key with Driver so see “the goldilocks series” in the “distance to ball” video as well as the “throwing series” driver video.
those videos were awesome… the grips update was “gold”!!! and it felt like standing up more and really whipping the snot out of the ball was soo fun!! now to try to get that 300 – 330 effortless drive like you is the goal. i found that trying to hit a draw just went straight.. maybe adjust the head on the shaft or work on the swing and not over swinging?
more numbers from totday
Is there a reason your numbers are in meters? Club speed is in metres per second? Very odd…
Just stay the course for a couple weeks and see what develops! 😀👍
Sorry, still mastering the Trackman app. This data is in proper measurements. I’ll stay the course & add the super wide turn & 20-40-60 exercises (’cause they look just incredibly helpful). …Is there an ideal setting with this driver head/shaft set-up for deep bombs like you hit or just focus on the form and then goldilocks each of the different setting to see which works best ? Thanks for the contagious positive vibes in all your videos over all the years!!
These numbers are very good; you are close! Crank the driver to the lowest setting in loft, tee it up with the highest tee and practice clipping the tip of the tee into forward summersaults with the full release(feels like you are wrapping the outside of the tip of the tee with the bottom of the face of the club like a soccer kick curving left for a right handed golfer. Feels like a ball on a string tracking on a rail out into a nice snap! That feel in the direction of the intermediate point with momentum. As you keep staying the course, things will start to take shape and the magic will start!
