It’s Almost Impossible To Strike Your Irons Without Doing This First [Video]

0:00 | so you want to learn how to compress

0:02 | your iron you want to learn how to

0:03 | strike your ions more consistently let

0:05 | me tell you you aren’t far aware in fact

0:07 | in this video I’m going to show you

0:09 | things that are working with my students

0:10 | right now and they’re simple changes

0:13 | that you can make to start to

0:14 | consistently first of all strike your

0:17 | irons okay then once we’ve got your

0:19 | striking it I’ll then show you how you

0:20 | start to amplify that distance that’s

0:24 | exactly what we’re going to cover in

0:25 | this week’s video now before I do that

0:26 | if you’re new to a challenge from your

0:27 | first lessons of mine please consider

0:29 | subscribing I release videos just like

0:31 | this one every single week to try and

0:32 | help you improve your game plus you’ll

0:35 | never have to remember a thing I always

0:36 | put a free downloadable practice guide

0:38 | in the description box below so here’s

0:40 | the great thing there’s not a lot you

0:41 | can be doing wrong that’s causing your

0:43 | poor contact okay so you’ll by the time

0:45 | we finish you could be absolutely fine

0:47 | so here’s look here’s the golf swing

0:50 | here’s the ACT there’s the club coming

0:51 | down it gets to a lowest point and then

0:54 | comes up again right now if you’re

0:56 | striking it poorly what’s happening is

0:58 | is that low point in this circle look

1:00 | it’s just happening just behind the golf

1:02 | ball if it’s too far behind you’ll start

1:04 | to top it and thin it okay if it’s just

1:06 | behind you’ll start to Fat it but if we

1:09 | can start to shift that low point after

1:11 | the golf ball so what happens is you

1:13 | strike the ball and then then the ground

1:15 | you will start to make solid contact so

1:19 | how do you go about achieving that well

1:20 | come and have a look at this

1:23 | the first thing you’ve got to do is bake

1:26 | in a solid strike in the setup so here’s

1:30 | the simplest thing the very first thing

1:32 | that you should do if you want to

1:33 | improve your contact bake it into your

1:36 | setup so we’ve said look the golf swing

1:39 | is a circle yeah and with every Circle

1:41 | there’s a lowest point to that Circle

1:44 | and we’ve just said that needs to happen

1:46 | after the golf ball

1:48 | so how do you make sure that you make or

1:50 | strike the ball first then the ground

1:52 | well what can you do well if you put

1:54 | your feet together and take I’ve got an

1:56 | A10 in my hands here I’m going to take

1:57 | even steps so that a Time middle middle

2:00 | clubs middle stance now the second thing

2:03 | I’m going to do I’m going to move my

2:04 | handle now opposite my inside lead leg

2:06 | here and then I’m going to grip the club

2:08 | what’s that done well it’s produced an

2:10 | angle offset look

2:13 | from the maximum radius of the Swing so

2:15 | this is where the low point of the Swing

2:17 | is and what I’ve done is just gone

2:19 | boom so now I’ve baked into my setup a

2:22 | ball Turf contact straight away from

2:24 | ball position and hand position right

2:26 | the second thing I’d love you to do is

2:29 | make sure that you have more weight

2:30 | favoring your lead foot right because

2:32 | great ball Strikers at the moment of

2:34 | impact have more weight on the front

2:37 | foot than they do when they’re open

2:39 | Powerball Strikers but pole ball

2:41 | Strikers have a lot more weight on their

2:42 | back foot at the moment of impact so

2:44 | just favoring that lead side gives you a

2:47 | bit of a head start and finally at setup

2:50 | make sure you have the middle part of

2:53 | your hips and your shoulders right on

2:56 | top of the ball like this at the start

2:58 | on top of each other why because if this

3:01 | is your center of your circle and

3:02 | they’re on top of each other again look

3:04 | it’s helping you control this circle and

3:06 | strike the ball then the ground if I was

3:09 | to kind of have this misaligned so my

3:11 | middle of my shoulders are over here too

3:13 | much I’m now going to start to

3:15 | potentially start striking the ground

3:16 | behind the golf ball and that’s going to

3:18 | lead to your thin shots to bake simply

3:20 | bake all of this a great strike into

3:23 | setup and you’re going to be well on

3:25 | your way to improving your strike so

3:27 | let’s now hit a shot in this setup

3:29 | position before we work on maybe some

3:30 | issues with the swing so I’ve actually

3:33 | scratched a line level with a golf ball

3:35 | and you can do this as well on the golf

3:38 | course because it’s going to help you

3:39 | identify exactly where your Club is

3:41 | striking the ground relative to the golf

3:42 | ball it also gives you something to

3:44 | practice often when I’m hitting do my

3:46 | practice things I’m almost making sure I

3:48 | look I maybe see a line there and

3:50 | imagine I’m striking look after that

3:52 | line so it gives you kind of a reference

3:53 | point and something that you can do in

3:55 | swing super super simple so get myself

3:57 | set

3:59 | over the ball

4:03 | let’s have a look that’s a great strike

4:05 | have a look at this look

4:07 | so my club’s coming where’s the lowest

4:09 | point in my divot look after the golf

4:12 | ball here that is what we’re trying to

4:14 | achieve it might possibly a fraction

4:16 | steep for my for my liking but again the

4:18 | wonderful feedback when I look at that

4:21 | line right let’s now move on to step

4:24 | number two so here’s something super

4:26 | simple and this will help you maintain

4:28 | the circle so a lot of people who do not

4:31 | strike the ball very very well their

4:33 | circle is always changing and it changes

4:36 | because they pull the Rams in they lift

4:39 | their arms up they’re all low basically

4:40 | their arms are all over the place so how

4:42 | do you create some consistency in the

4:44 | circle because if you imagine if we can

4:46 | create consistency in the circle the

4:50 | more likelihood is we’re going to end up

4:52 | with a consistent low point and strike

4:54 | the golf ball so here’s something that I

4:57 | give my students all the time just

4:59 | imagine you get yourself set and just

5:01 | imagine you’re trying to keep your arms

5:03 | fairly close together okay not tight not

5:06 | stiffer anything thing but fairly close

5:08 | together on the way back and as you come

5:10 | through a look we keep them fairly close

5:12 | together on the way through now at some

5:14 | stage in the swing of course your Trail

5:16 | elbow is going to bend a little bit here

5:17 | and on the way through look they’re

5:19 | straight here but they’re going to bend

5:21 | eventually so this is kind of almost a

5:23 | feeling from about half swing to half

5:26 | swing just imagine and keeping them

5:28 | closer together and what it does is it

5:30 | kind of looks after look the circle

5:32 | because something now I’m not doing this

5:34 | I’m not pulling the circle in just

5:36 | keeping them fairly close together

5:38 | maintains that Circle all the way back

5:40 | and all the way through so I like to

5:43 | work my students here on almost what

5:45 | they feel is very short half swings

5:48 | so we’re not spreading them apart

5:50 | we’re just keeping them fairly close

5:52 | together

5:53 | and it looks something like that so we

5:54 | practice just about here

5:56 | to here

5:58 | and to here look okay it really helps

6:01 | them also to force their shoulders to

6:04 | turn beautifully on a circle because a

6:07 | lot of times when you’re playing you

6:08 | start cheating you start lifting your

6:09 | hands up and again it becomes a whole

6:11 | very handsy and amsy swing versus look

6:14 | when you’re forced to kind of keep the

6:15 | um your arms closer together you’re now

6:18 | forced to use my shoulders and move them

6:19 | on a circle back and them on a circle on

6:22 | the way through again it really really

6:24 | helps with your consistency so very

6:26 | simple visual that’s not complicated

6:28 | whatsoever just imagine your arm staying

6:30 | nice and close back

6:32 | nice and close through and hey Presta

6:34 | another beautiful strike look where a

6:37 | finished look half swing arms nice and

6:39 | close together and what do we see here

6:40 | look coming up look at this

6:42 | there’s the line

6:44 | I’ve actually took that one better much

6:46 | shallower differ by the way here but low

6:48 | point is after the golf ball and hey

6:50 | prester that is a wonderful way for you

6:54 | to really improve the quality of your

6:56 | contact okay now however however

7:00 | I have given that drill to a number of

7:03 | people

7:04 | and it makes their swings look so much

7:07 | better but there is an issue with it

7:09 | okay in fact there’s an issue with any

7:11 | form of tip

7:13 | and that is tension

7:15 | you see when I say to somebody just get

7:18 | your arms a bit closer

7:19 | they start to do this

7:22 | I mean become this kind of wooden statue

7:25 | so here’s something that I give my

7:27 | students to kind of with any tip that

7:29 | you try to reduce some of the tension in

7:31 | your arms and shoulders to really help

7:33 | your ball striking but also hugely your

7:37 | distance so I’m going to grab Leo in

7:38 | who’s on the camera right now to help me

7:40 | out with this one so yeah always just

7:42 | grab the end of this club okay okay so

7:44 | all I’m going to do now is this try and

7:46 | just just move me around

7:49 | can you move my arms around no chance no

7:51 | chance okay why because I’m so tense

7:53 | here I gave this to a recent student and

7:55 | the distance he hit after this little

7:57 | just this one session was 40 yards of

8:00 | designs now watch this

8:03 | we’ll see that now yeah

8:05 | can you pull it can you pull it out of

8:06 | my hands no no so what does that mean

8:10 | you’ve got a firm grip I’ve got a firm

8:11 | grip still I’m holding it firmly but

8:13 | look my arms my shoulders yeah are free

8:16 | okay perfect cool you get on camera

8:18 | again I need you okay right so

8:22 | what we then do is sudden you’ve got

8:24 | that sentence said get a friend to do

8:26 | this with you because all of these

8:28 | things here these keeping these arms

8:29 | straight yes they want to be straight

8:30 | and connected here like this a bit close

8:32 | together I still want them look

8:35 | flowing so I want those shoulders so

8:37 | when you’re making this immersion don’t

8:39 | make it stiff allow the club to flow

8:42 | as you’re doing this and now I’ve used

8:44 | you can use many images I’ve used an

8:46 | image of almost like Olympic Hammer

8:47 | thrower throwing the hammer out into the

8:51 | distances here there’s many different

8:53 | things you can do to try to make this as

8:55 | relaxed and as flowing as possible but

8:57 | that one is a beauty so a baked into

8:59 | setup I’m ready I’m flowing on a keep

9:02 | those arms very closely on the way back

9:04 | all the way through and I’m really

9:05 | visualizing this circle

9:07 | moving ahead of that golf ball I’ve

9:10 | drawn my line in here I might have a

9:12 | practice swing when I hit there we go

9:15 | hitting the head of the line this is a

9:16 | great thing you can do on a golf course

9:19 | but now I’m nice and relaxed too

9:22 | and hopefully we get beautiful beautiful

9:25 | contact

9:28 | and that one was a little bit

9:32 | actually heavy so what did I do there

9:35 | well do you know what Cameron look at

9:37 | this see I I for most people it’s a

9:39 | pretty good strike it’s just struck that

9:41 | a little bit heavy now why did I do that

9:45 | basically I literally when I came down I

9:48 | literally didn’t commit to this shot a

9:51 | little bit tense on the way through so

9:53 | watch the difference here I’m just going

9:54 | to relax a little bit more on this next

9:56 | one okay and bake it into setup and then

9:59 | look

10:01 | there we go much much more free I’m

10:04 | talking to Canberra I was a little bit

10:06 | tense and hey prester look now I’m good

10:09 | so tension happens to the best of us so

10:12 | I hope you enjoyed this video do me a

10:14 | favor if you love this video and you

10:16 | want to see me actually giving this to

10:17 | an actual person it’s not really sure

10:19 | but I’m going to put it right here but

10:22 | this one here once you’ve got the

10:24 | solidness a strike now you want some

10:26 | more accuracy go and check this one out

10:29 | if you’re new to the channel give it a

10:30 | thumbs up maybe share it with one of

10:32 | your friends and of course look there’s

10:33 | a free download practice guide in the

10:35 | description box below I’ll see you next

10:37 | time cheers bye
