I’m back with PGA coach Liam Robinson for Part 1 of my latest golf driver lesson — and before we could even think about hitting the driver better, Liam noticed something important. I’d been doing some of the swing drills he taught me in a previous lesson… but not quite right.
In this session, Liam took me through exactly where I was going wrong, why those mistakes were holding my driver swing back, and how to tweak the drills so they actually help my swing. It was a real eye-opener — small changes in how I set up and moved made a big difference to the results.
Here’s what I learned in this lesson:
I was rushing parts of the driver swing drills without realising it
My alignment and rhythm needed small but crucial adjustments
Practising drills wrong can actually make your swing worse
Getting the basics right is the real key before chasing more distance
This is just Part 1 — once the drills were corrected, we could move on to building a more powerful and accurate driver swing in the next session.

Probably the best coaching I’ve seen on YouTube, reinforces a lot of what my golf coach is trying to teach this old body to do.
Should have just done a podcast, lots of nice chatting.
You just need to learn to play great swing.
Almost complete opposite of what the TPI guys teach. I tried there way too much twisting and turning. Thanks good stuff.
Liam's observation about the left hip in the backswing is brilliant. I've been trying to work on this and keeping my left knee from working too much downwards and it really does help when I get it right. A couple of months into using Liam's method and I've seen tangible results right from the start.
You’re doing it wrong
Great vid guys 👌🏻
What is the towel outside your left foot for? 🧐
What I would give to have a range local to me that you can hit off the grass ❤
James, Ive discovered I need a feel to help me do new things, could you sometimes explain what you feel you're doing? Helps people like me visualise, as we all learn differently. Can understand the mechanics but not relate to the feel. The sound in the strikes was audible from the microphones. Keep at I think you've found the teacher for you, great videos
Still playing golf swing instead of golf.
Another great video
Many consider George Knidson's swing as one of the best ever, if you watch this video of him George Knudson Incredible Golf Swing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bTvb_VXhr0 you will see that his right foot is pulled back at address on ALL his full shots and that he loads the pressure into the toe area of the left foot in transition. This is exactly what Liam is teaching here and it works. and cuts out the round house over the top movement almost all average golfers are aflicted with.
Mint. Probably a stupid question, but how should the club face look at address. Neutral or open, closed etc?
Great stuff. Trying to understand the one arm follow thru's?
How much ya got on the lamp shade ?
On the wedge drill, what is the purpose of towel / object outside the left foot?
No more ABL? Always good to check in on a James video, especially with Liam about.
Such a good coach …easy to listen to 👍
