(upbeat music)
- Again, you look at the finish--
- Just right there.
Charlie's finished here again.
- I'm just going to punch down.
- Beautiful.
How's it going everybody?
Welcome to Me And My Golf
we your coaches and the in-person today.
We've got a very special guest to talk about driving.
We've got ladies touring professional.
We've got the youngest eversole hanker appearance
I think 17 years old.
When you had your first win.
Charlie Hull, welcome.
How are you? - Yeah, good, thank you.
- Good, thanks for joining us
- 62 on the last round last round as well.
- 62, last round to force a player.
- Yeah.
- Thanks for joining us.
It's good to be here in Florida in warmer climates.
And we thought today we'll pick your brains about driving.
You're an incredible golfer
but driving is a strength of yours.
You hit it hard.
We've seen you hit a few warm-ups and it goes a long way.
Can you talk a little bit, we talked briefly off camera.
Can you talk about what you tend to work on
with your driver and sort of
from a technique side of things with the coach?
- Yeah, so my coach's Matt Belsham
and I have a lot of faith in him.
I've been with him for five years and he's a great guy.
And at the moment we're kind of working
on getting my swing a bit more free quarter
keeping it compact.
I have a bit of a curve in my back of my back swing.
So we call it the granny move like cause granny
and grandad, Betsy, she liked that.
So we try and get a bit more that way.
So it's a bit more straighter.
I showed you on the phone a minute ago.
So yeah, just been working at that more compact, then it
then all my downswing and it's more compact.
I don't underplay it cause I shoot this right hip.
I just try and stay on it a bit more and then
into my tilt and then hopefully it will go straight.
- Yeah, so what we're basically saying
by getting this reverse spine, as we would call it
- Yeah.
- It's very easy for you there to do all sorts of reroutes
especially when you're a talented golfer like yourself
for the emesis back home, he could have all sorts
of problems going on, but I love the granny move.
That's like, it's a really simple concept
and he likes to keep your golf simple, but that's what
she hit a few shots where you're feeling
this three-quarter, I'm going to stand here
and I'm gonna check it.
- I'll try and go pretty on this one.
- Yeah, that was good.
- You can see my ball's drawing and then the winds hit it
once it gets above them trees.
- Yeah., it's quite a strong, yeah.
- It's quite a strong little wind out there.
- Yeah, definitely.
- I think one of the things that you can
it's very noticeable in your golf swing shot.
And you mentioned it regarding your hips is
that you keep your lower body extremely stable
and you don't have much turn, but you mentioned the hips.
Maybe you're a little, yeah.
- Yeah. When I was 17, I fell over and I really had my hips
and ever since they haven't been the same
and whenever I get to event, my hips are sit like this.
So I'm always blocked to the neck.
Always have to crack them into place.
And so I'm going to have to
my coach is going to get me to see this guy.
Well, it was going to be this week
but we're in locked down in England.
So I can't have a minute.
So around Christmas time, so I can do a lot
of exercises to help strengthen it
and stretch it and help them, help me do that move.
And that should get me a bit more power.
But when I was younger
I always used to have a trigger move.
You know, like Matthew Wolf's is like that.
One used to be a forward press
and I'd used to squat and then squirt
into my back swing where a lot of people go that way.
I've always been a bit a squat.
And I think that's my strange little move
but it works for me and yeah.
Yeah.
- Look, I mean the way you hit your drivers.
Great, and I want to hit, hit some more now
and just hit another one for us doing this three quarter
and then we'll get into a few different scenarios
because again, keep that simple.
- Yeah.
- Very athletic set of
- That's a beauty.
- What a finish, that's a great shot.
It was a finish like that with the club shaft,
hitting off the back of the head., I think we would be--
- I know everyone keeps going on about this wax, the back
of my neck and I've done.
I never ever noticed it until I came on Instagram.
Like my manager used to do, always do my Instagram
until the beginning of the year.
When she says, we want you to do your Instagram and engage
with your followers a bit.
And I was like, okay, so I'll put my swings up.
And then they're like, why do you hit your neck?
When do you do this?
I'm like, that's my coach.
Do I really do this?
He's like, yeah, but I couldn't.
He goes get them like, yeah
I have no clue that I done it until people say
- No being more engaged on social media.
So we'll actually put it in there.
That social media handles in there that she
she wants you to follow her on, obviously.
So just do us a favor now.
So let's just say that we wanted to hit a fade.
Now I know you keep this real simple
but with this wind off the left
what's your thought process when planning a fade?
- I just think I'll take it, take it down the left-hand side
of the fairway and just squeeze onto the right.
The wind is off the left.
It's going to drift a little bit more.
So I use your tit down a little bit lower.
That's great.
- And, and the thing that the the unique thing
about you, Charlie, you were talking as well
that you don't like to have numbers.
You don't want to get bogged
down with too many technical things.
You're very much a field player.
- Basically when I underplayed it a lot, my coach
does get me to hit quite a few fades.
Cause it makes you come down on top of it a bit more.
Yeah. So I'll be doing that.
And yeah, I just hit
- A few.
- I haven't hit a fade yet with this new drivers.
- Yeah.
- Left intro.
I mean, it's great.
It's a great fate.
Interesting finish though.
There so definitely was more helpful.
- Oh yeah.
I was just trying to punch it a little bit more.
Keep it.
Cause I felt like if I hit it high, it's going to ride
on the wind a little bit too much.
And I can't control it where the wind is off the left.
So I'm just kind of, I didn't realize that she had done it
but now I know that then I'm telling you
it kind of felt like I had done it
- And all instinct is not.
And it's all about thinking
this is the great thing about this.
Anyone looking at this at home now
it's not thinking so much
about positions is doing a few keys in the setup
but very much when Charlie is telling us how to
play this fate, she's looking over there.
So she has the image of what she wants.
And she's just trying to create that.
- I think that we, we talk about this all the time.
I know we've done some stuff
with call Morris and we're always talking about
does the shop create the swing
or the swing create the shots.
Now what you're doing is you're seeing the shot
that you want to play and you're letting the swing just
just produce it without thinking, a lot of people are there.
They're going, right.
I want to play a draw.
I don't like, what do I do?
You're just reacting.
- But if someone said to me do that
I probably won't be able to do it.
I just have to picture it, feel it and do it early.
I would have done a challenge
and you had to skip it across the water.
And I was just drawing it way too much.
I only got one on the green.
Like I was absolutely terrible at it well than us.
Yeah. And I was just drawing it too much.
But I think, cause I had to hit a straight shot
and I couldn't really see the shot.
So I couldn't imagine it.
And I couldn't do it.
I was getting really frustrated.
- That's interesting.
It was a, you got to have that vision
- And I play better on longer and tighter golf courses.
Like the tighter golf courses the much more prefer it.
Okay
cool. Okay.
- Well let's go with it.
Yeah. So I mean, this is quite a white
it's a narrow entrance here
but actually let's say you've got a really tight fairway.
- The thing is, this is kind of a tight pair
because if you hit it offline, you're in the rubbish.
Do you know what I mean?
So it's a wifi, but it's a tight fairway.
If you get punished, if you're off, if you miss it
you don't want to put the play in here.
- What would you do then?
If you wanted to say hit like a low bullets that you
want it to just get on the fairway and get running.
That's like a safety shot.
What would you do?
And how would you play
- Three quarter lower?
Just hit it low.
- See how it look at me.
When, when Charlie addresses that
just put the club behind the ball there.
Look how low that is.
And it's like, it's like there.
Yeah.
- Again, you look at the finish.
Charlie's finished here again.
- I'm just hitting a punch down there.
Get down there.
That's one of them shots.
We just get down there and say, for instance, I could walk
but I probably couldn't.
Cause it's about three 50 away.
I'm just hitting a chair
like a chippy drive, punching it down there.
It's getting on the fairway.
It's rolling.
It's not carrying too far.
And I know it's just going a bit further than my freeway.
Okay.
- Okay. So let's just one more to finish with.
Let's say you've got, let's go hydro
let's go to 40 over carrier.
- I'm not the biggest fan of hitting hydraulics.
Cause I get scared.
I'm going to block it
but I'll hit one because I do have to hit them.
Sometimes. I'm just one of these.
I've got a weird thing.
I can, most people can talk
to a fade and can't talk to a heck.
I can talk to a hook, but I cannot talk to a fate.
I hate anything.
Right.
- Okay. Very nice.
- So that's just like a high it's kind of draw.
Awesome.
- And a very different finish though.
I mean again, if you think about what we've
what's been consistent with Charlie today
the one thing that's been different
and every single shot is the through swing.
How sh how you on that through swing
you are more out and up and much more
of a full finished where on the other ones were more down
and low and, and shorter finish.
Ready? It's massive.
Yeah. I could watch your headshots all day.
Should we get one more, one more normal, normal one.
Yeah. You choose what you want.
- So keep an eye.
If it's that throughput, the coach is watching.
- I can.
It
- Probably the best one to finish the week.
- Yeah, that's good.
That's the middle of the fairway.
Yeah. Awesome.
That was really good.
I mean the good thing is, look, if you're watching this
please, you know, you can get involved in loads
of swing sports, but just keep it really, really simple.
And imagine the shop that you've got to play and let's
as Andrew said, let's see if the shot you want
to play, that imagination can actually affect
- Definitely. Charlie, thanks for your time.
Good luck.
Where's the best place for the guys to follow
on social media is Instagram or mostly on Instagram.
Say, okay, we'll put that in the description down below.
Make sure you do them.
Good luck this season.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
