3 Tee Driver Drill

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.920
This driver drill video is brush all three tees so what we're gonna work on

2
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:10.160
here is a concept that I refer to as the club height to the ground. Many golf

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:10.640
ers

4
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:15.000
who struggle with the driver don't have the club low to the ground for a long

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.720
enough period of time to have any level of consistency. They either have the

6
00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:19.960
club

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.480
low to the ground coming into the ball and then come up very quickly through

8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.640
the ball mostly with a flip or chicken wing breakdown in the release or they

9
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.120
have the club high to the ground coming into the golf ball and then have it

10
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:33.360
come

11
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:38.640
up on the way through mostly because of upper body lunge or lack of axis tilt

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.160
or a little bit more of a upper body spin and lack of arm shallow. So this

13
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:43.460
drill

14
00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:48.640
video kind of combos working on both of those aspects. So what we're gonna do

15
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:48.880
is

16
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.280
we're gonna take two tees and we're gonna put them in the ground about six

17
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:59.120
inches in front and about six inches behind the golf ball. So they're at about

18
00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.280
the height of the golf ball. Now I'm gonna set up to the middle tee or just

19
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:10.600
inside of it and my goal is to practice making practice wings where the club

20
00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:16.000
feels like it stays to the same level to the ground or the same height all the

21
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.880
way from about right foot through to left foot. So a little bit even wider than

22
00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:25.440
the tees. Now one of the traits that I see with good drivers of the golf ball

23
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:25.600
is

24
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.160
they tend to use more of their body for the power of the swing. That puts them

25
00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:30.280
in

26
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.280
a position where they can get the club low to the ground before the arms really

27
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.280
get involved and then when the arms extend you'll see that they'll extend

28
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:44.040
more towards the target which keeps the club low to the ground. Many amateurs

29
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:44.120
who

30
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.040
struggle with the driver get the arms involved too soon and then they have to

31
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.160
kind of bend and you'll see that the club doesn't stay low to the ground for a

32
00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:55.880
very long period of time. So you're gonna set up three tees and you're

33
00:01:55.880 --> 00:02:04.440
basically going to try and just brush the top of all three tees. It's quite

34
00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:09.280
hard to do in practice and actually hit a ball but it gives you a little bit

35
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:09.480
more

36
00:02:09.480 --> 00:02:15.040
of a visual of trying to practice getting that club height to the ground to be

37
00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:15.080
a

38
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.050
little bit more flat or consistent through there. That should help give you

39
00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:19.440
more

40
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:23.720
high-face contact. When it tends to come up pretty quickly you'll hit it more

41
00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:23.840
on

42
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.240
the bottom of the club it'll feel thin and launched really low. So this will

43
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:28.360
give

44
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:33.520
us high face contact and in order to do so it's going to require a little bit

45
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.880
better sequencing. Okay so then in demonstrating it's a little hard because

46
00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:44.120
you can't set up normal because the T would get in the way of your takeaway. So

47
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:51.280
you're just going to try and hover a little bit and then clip all three tees on

48
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:51.360
a

49
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.520
little 9 to 3 so the height of the club is low to the ground for a long period

50
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:03.560
of time. So as you get better at this drill you can work on having the tees a

51
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:08.390
little bit further apart. So six inches is kind of the baseline but I like to

52
00:03:08.390 --> 00:03:08.520
see

53
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.220
it close to the ground all the way from right foot through the left foot. So we

54
00:03:12.220 --> 00:03:12.320
'll

55
00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:21.400
see if we can get all three tees with a semi-normal swing. So you'll see it was

56
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.800
a pretty good launch from the down the line. Pretty good flat spot clipping all

57
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.240
three tees.
