The Ridiculous Reason Why 90% of Golfers Can’t Strike There Irons [Video]

0:00 | so how to strike your irons and and how to strike
your fairway woods off the ground if you struggle

0:05 | to make consistent contact don’t worry you’re not
alone in fact I’ve just had a lot of golfers this

0:10 | week and probably about 90% of them were really
struggling to strike make consistent contact off

0:15 | the ground and the usual thing they were trying to
keep their handle forward trying get their weight

0:19 | forward but none of it was really working because
all of it was very unnatural in this golf video

0:25 | I’m going to show you an effortless golf swing an
easy golf swing that will help you make consistent

0:29 | contact time and time again with every single
Club you have in your golf bag I’m super excited

0:35 | to share that with you before I do though look if
you’re new to the channel your first golf videos

0:38 | of mine please consider subscribing I release
golf videos just like this every single week

0:42 | to try and help you improve your game plus you
never have to remember a thing I’ll always put

0:45 | a downloadable practice guide in the description
box below so let’s give you a very simple process

0:50 | to achieve a great strike with every Club off the
ground so your golf swing starts with some simple

0:55 | understanding the first step is to realise that
great ball striking happens when you hit the ball

1:10 | then the turf with your irons this is achieved
by learning to create a natural downward angle

1:13 | of attack so if I put an alignment stick here just
opposite inside my trail foot and I get myself set

1:19 | here my golf swing should comfortably miss that
alignment stick on the way down and strike this

1:25 | ball however when I get people even with just a
club and a half gap between that alignment stick

1:33 | here what the average golfer would come down here
and they would hit the ground roughly where the

1:39 | ball is and likely clatter into the cane as
they’re doing it okay this is what we’ve got

1:46 | to stop this is where the inconsistencies lie so
I’m going to show you naturally how you can strike

1:50 | the ball then the turf with your golf swing it
starts with a great golf swing setup so what I’d

1:56 | love you to do now if you can is maybe just pause
the video take a moment get yourself set up and

2:02 | grab two balls so take your normal setup here once
you set up and I feel comfortable what I want you

2:09 | to do now is this take a ball and simply hold it
in the middle of your sternum now from here very

2:16 | calmly just drop it where did my ball actually
hit the ground right over the top of the golf

2:22 | ball why is that important well if my sternum is
over the top of the ball when I make a pivot from

2:28 | here I’m pivoting over the ball I’m increasing my
likelihood that I’m going to strike the ball than

2:34 | the ground what I saw with many of my students
this week when they dropped the ball here they

2:40 | were back here and the ball was dropping way too
far behind they’re already in a position to hit

2:45 | where up on the ball and ground that club Behind
the golf ball so simple simple thing that anyone

2:51 | can do okay the second thing that can really help
just at setup is this get yourself set here and

2:58 | we don’t want to strike the ball like this we
want to strike it with a slight lean of the

3:04 | shaft only slight okay opposite inside lead leg
so why not just start there if you put the club

3:10 | there put it on the inside lead leg simply start
in a place where you sternum of the ball and the

3:14 | lead handle on the inside thigh and you’re already
in a place look to strike that ball great setup is

3:21 | your foundation this is Step number one so step
number two and I promised you an effortless way

3:27 | to achieve great ball striking so don’t fall for
this real misinterpretation too many golfers are

3:33 | trying so hard to improve the quality of the
strike and it should be effortless so let me

3:38 | explain so this golf CP if you want to hit the
ball long as well you want ultimately clever

3:44 | speed and you want this to be effortless so look
at this here my club now is Swinging with complete

3:49 | momentum okay I am not trying to hold an angle
I’m not trying to push my hands ahead I’m simply

3:55 | swinging the club with momentum now what gets
the handle natur naturally at the correct place

4:01 | is simply The Way You Move Your Body okay at no
stage and I’m hanging onto this club and trying

4:06 | to hold the angle it ruins your speed robs you
at all the speed and ruins your strike so I want

4:12 | this club to swing as freely as possible let me
just show you an example so when I’m swinging

4:16 | here if I don’t move my body correctly you can
see here look the club will flick and the club

4:20 | head very quickly will pass the butt end and
that’s your flicky horrible strike but if I

4:25 | Mo my body correctly I will naturally create lag
and a perfect strip without even trying there’s

4:32 | no effort for me to hold that angle there it’s
happening beautifully naturally now let me show

4:37 | you how you do that but obviously under controlled
manner you don’t want this kind of flicky Club all

4:41 | over the place that’s also weak so get yourself
set up and we said look I want you to get this

4:47 | club Swinging with some momentum now if I just did
this with my wrists it would look very risty like

4:53 | this we don’t want that so what I’m doing now
is just to look give you that lovely controlled

4:58 | look effortless look you see with the best play
all I’m doing here is is I’m moving my rib cage

5:03 | basically around and back all I’m doing is as I
move my rib cage around and back it looks like I’m

5:10 | controlling this club I am but the club is still
swinging look effortlessly on the way through I’m

5:17 | going to do the opposite I’m going to use my
rib citch and I’m going to unwind it this way

5:23 | and as I come through look at this it looks like
I might be holding the angle but I’m not the club

5:31 | is swinging beautifully freely and those angles
are held naturally so I’ve still got the club

5:37 | head speed super important so start really small
with this initially just to get the feeling get

5:43 | yourself set up here and all I’m going to do here
is really soften my arms off really feel like that

5:47 | rib cage is moving around and back and we’re going
to play a few small shots here and enjoy the rib

5:54 | cage basically controlling look the entire motion
now the one big common fault when I gave this to

6:01 | a couple of the guys was they felt as though
sometimes they were they were moving the club

6:07 | with momentum but the problem is what they were
doing is they were just doing it with their hands

6:10 | and their arms and their shoulders why I love the
rib kid as a guide with this is when you move your

6:16 | rib cage you’re kind of moving the shoulders as
well so it’s just a great way to kind of direct

6:21 | and guide the momentum of this golf club if you
don’t move your rib kage you can start to throw

6:25 | the weight around and then you’ve really lost
control of the club completely so the rib cage

6:29 | is a great guide one of them asked me well Dan bit
when do you naturally bend the wrist well if you

6:34 | look at this here look when I swing the club with
momentum all of that happens naturally so what we

6:39 | call is passive wrist you don’t force them to
to bend so as I simply work on that rib cage

6:45 | working backwards and forwards I’m now creating
momentum in that Golf Club okay but there’s one

6:52 | thing that stop still would stop you striking
that ball than the ground even with this so

6:58 | you’ve got momentum you’ve got set up you’ve got
momentum but you really need step three to kind

7:03 | of finish the job off and pure those strikes
so step number three and none of the first two

7:09 | steps will work unless you answer these first
two questions correctly okay so first question

7:15 | is this when you’re over the golf ball what is
your target what is your target now most of my

7:22 | students said well Dan of course it’s just out
there straight down the middle of fairy or the

7:26 | middle of the green I said great so then and
answer me this next question you’re over the

7:32 | golf ball here you get to the top of the back
swing here and you’re coming down what’s your

7:36 | target every single one of them said something
like the ball Danny or a few of them said look

7:45 | I’ve been trying to hit ahead of the golf ball so
I’m focusing on hitting ahead of the golf ball all

7:50 | of those things will completely and utterly ruin
what you do why because here’s the thing your job

7:57 | is to direct the momentum of your golf swing in
this this club right so when your target starts

8:03 | to become too much down here down where the golf
ball is here this is what happens look at this if

8:09 | I start to let this club swing up with momentum
and my body starts to stop because somewhere in

8:14 | this vicinity becomes my intention my focal point
suddenly the club will automatically look without

8:21 | me trying release but as soon as I connect to my
Target and I maintain some form of intention out

8:28 | there watch the difference now you get the perfect
movement forward you get body rotation forward why

8:35 | because the target is drawing out your mechanics
it draws out your mechanics when your intentions

8:42 | down here which C creates the flick and it will
draw out great mechanics if your intention is to

8:47 | go in this direction so how can you train this so
this is the simplest exercise I know to achieve

8:54 | this okay now I’m going to with your right-handed
playing golf left-handed or vice versa will cover

8:58 | you both hands right so when you’re playing
we said look we want to have some momentum

9:03 | you start to create that now by controlling it
with the rib cage now what I want you to do is

9:08 | real realize this there are two Targets in golf
that Target and this target how do you merge the

9:13 | two together well if we just threw a ball out here
forward your body without even thinking if we do

9:19 | an underarm throw your body naturally wouldn’t do
this it would naturally flow through this forward

9:24 | momentum of the body creates beautiful angles and
beautiful compression on your strike but it’s not

9:31 | quite an underarm throwing golf we want to hit
down here so what here’s what I want to do grab

9:34 | a ball and I’ve got my pal facing the ground I’m
going to now do two things I’m going to bounce the

9:40 | golf ball right there just ahead of this this ball
here but I want that bounce to then bounce and go

9:46 | over the basket in front of us so it’s going to
look something like this like that now what I love

9:52 | about this is this I’ve got a down pressure going
there but I’ve all got the intention of not just

9:57 | bouncing it there but also flying it directly over
this basket now you could do that also if you’re

10:03 | left-handed playing golf right-handed just hold
it in the back of your hand here slightly tricky

10:08 | for me I’m not being left-handed but I’m going
to imagine throwing the ball down here I’m not

10:13 | left-handed let’s try that one again good for
good practice though so I’m going to throw it

10:17 | back at my hand here bang okay and I want to try
I would try and get that lined up here to throw

10:23 | directly over that basket here brilliant exercise
because what it does now is this it brings in two

10:29 | Targets our Target is not the golf ball right our
Target is out there but we need to have an eye on

10:36 | this one so what I’m going to now is this I’ve
got my momentum swinging here right now all I’m

10:40 | going to do is Imagine in a sense tossing that
ball look or in this case the club down there

10:47 | while simultaneously going towards my target so
look at this it looks like this if I throwing

10:53 | one-handed like this one two yeah can does that
make sense great exercises to really get momentum

11:02 | going forward but also letting the club come down
so you get a beautiful compression and again we

11:08 | start small with this so I’m just picturing my tag
out there I’m going to throw the club down while

11:14 | simultaneously moving through and just rip that
one straight down the middle of that Fairway so

11:22 | three steps get yourself set up first of all feel
some momentum Don’t Force these angles you don’t

11:28 | need to that just ruins the effortless look in
your goal swing feel the momentum of the club then

11:34 | look connect that momentum not to just stay down
here this will just lead to that flicky impact

11:39 | position to keep that handle ahead we’re going to
connect this to this so I’m throwing the club down

11:47 | while simultaneously throwing it bouncing it on
the ground and towards my target I start really

11:53 | small with this with all my students one Ripper
simple as that three steps that will lead you to

12:02 | a much more effortless flowing motion start small
get the strike then gradually Build It Up hope you

12:09 | enjoyed the video if you did give it a thumbs up
maybe share it with one of your friends and if you

12:12 | want to keep advancing this strike maybe moving on
to things like your Fairway Woods check this video

12:18 | out right here if you want to see a live lesson
of me giving this kind of momentum check Adam’s

12:22 | lesson out right here it’s an absolute belter
but until next week have a wonderful golfing week
