Very smart to design the new shaft angle.
All this for 5 seconds?
Danmark 😂🇩🇰👍
Would you also recommend this angle of the shaft technique to mid-irons or even wedges?
You mean the Moe Norman single-plane swing? 😎
Been using it for years and it changed my game…
Todd I need help on the first tee jitters. Any drill or pre shot recommendations?
Hi Todd. I just got my Maxvert driver a couple of days ago. Took it to the range and had some great hits. Played league and used it on a few par 4 holes and had some great shots. I need to work on my aiming now because the club eliminated my slice just need to fine tune my set up!
Todd I'm tempted to change my old faithful driver, a Ping G25, but every time i test new one's can't hit anything better than the Ping, maybe because i cut two inches of my shaft, which makes it more upright, and easy to control without scarifying distance. Not seen this driver you are using in England, I'd be tempted to try one
Does this work for all clubs? Irons & Fairway woods? Dalhart, Texas
Excellent idea. One question, should I stand closer to the ball than with the 'old shaft angle'?
I'v always been very inflexible so have difficulty executing a decent backswing. I barely get the club past vertical. Suggestions, drills, exercises?
Will try this – i used the maxvert driver yesterday for the first time on the course – in practice maybe 1 or 2 slices out of 30 – in my 9 holes yesterday all of my drives were slices – very frustrating.
A lot of instruction says that because of the design of the flex in the shaft, the toe of the club head should be raised a bit at address. Is this wrong?
Thanks for all your efforts! Montana
Hey Todd great stuff as always Bob from Jersey
Does this work iron shots ?
Coach 10000000000%%%%%%% that works for me.
Ever since I've got my C-Roge driver for Christmas and following your and my pro guidelines boom 💥 👌 Fairway Finder is in the house 😂😂😂.
Now, I must fix my iron shots. OMG, I used to hit them like a rocket, and I need to get back to it.
Today, I'm playing in a shotgun competition at Trump International Dubai.
By the way, I can't remember ever mentioning that I'm from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean (West Indies), but yes, I am living and working as an expat in Dubai United Arab Emirates.
I wish everyone a wonderful golfing weekend.

Good tip. That's also why the majority of us would benefit from using shorter shafts in the driver than the current std 45.75 in (like most pros do btw). But as you said in a recent video, one can also grip down.
Hello Todd! I’m Vernon from Euless, Texas! I received my Maxvert 1 Driver this past Friday and took it to the driving range today! I was really excited to finally receive it! I hit approximately 30 balls and was hex flex spot most of the time, with a few just below and to the right of it! Unfortunately I was unable to get a straight flight or draw of the ball. Even hitting the sweet spot I was hitting a so called “baby fade” or an outright slice. By the way, I’m a righty! I know for sure it’s not the club, I need to continue using the tips from the videos of the VLS MaxLaunch Driver Series. In my non-professional opinion I think I am not releasing the club right. I’m am 100 percent committed to making this work. I’ll keep you posted! Thank you so much for what you do for us “experienced” golfers!
Great tip. I have been a low ball hitter for years and now see exactly why. Not only are my shoulders more level than you demonstrate but my hands are too low. Thanks!
no "why" in lifting the arm 3 times
Great vid. Hey TK, what public track in S. Falls would you recommend to a visitor? Thanx
Would a driver shaft that is too short effectively lower your lead shoulder contributing to a slice?
Haha I love when you said if you are into the science then I'm not for you! I went down the road of paralysis by over analysys by listening to way too many technical instructors and totally lost my way
Hi Todd
I'm Richard from the UK. Very interested in the Maxvert driver. Can you direct me to where I could purchase one. Thank you.
Can you use this tip on your every club
Jim from Michigan. Ok I’ve got the book and following as best I can. Taking some videos but still feel I’m not getting the VLS right. Do you do any on line lessons? 😅 sometimes I feel I’ve got too much going on in my head 😂.
Great videos! I truly enjoy Todd’s instruction on his videos. Awesome points on the driver. One of the major struggles I have in proper alignment with my body. Do you have videos for alignment? Thanks!

Todd, Love your videos, tips, and techniques. I own the Bad Lie, Have purchased the VLS system and bought the Teton driver after seeing your review. My slice (of 50 years) has been pretty much been eliminated. But I still can't hit a draw! LOL but I love being in the fairway on nearly every hole. My drives are always in the 200 – 220 yard range which from what I understand is normal for 64 year old experienced golfer. I think that it might be because of the amount of loft on the Teton which gets the ball pretty high. Question is: would I benefit from the Maxvert with less loft thereby going lower and possibly get more distance? Ready to buy but want your opinion first.
