OUTSTANDING Drill For INSTANT PURE Iron Shots
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In this video, Mike Pitt teaches you an outstanding drill that will help you improve your iron game. If you want to hit your irons pure, understanding that the lead leg is a post that the body should rotate around. The lead leg in the downswing should feel like it is twisting into the ground which will help the body rotate more efficiently. Mike goes over the lead leg drill, where the golfer will drop the trail leg back putting 95% of weight on the lead leg. Not only will this teach the golfer how to rotate, it will produce a ball first and ground second contact.
Would like to schedule a in-person or online lesson with me?

Which topic should we discuss next?? LET US KNOW!
Equivalent to the lead leg drill for driver
Great video! Any drills for not f"atting" fairway woods and irons would be appreciated...so hard to consistently hit them at a low contact point.
Shallowing the club 🙏
I’ve been playing golf for two years now. Im 52 - 27 handicap- yeah you read that right. Recently discovered this drill by default. It has made a massive difference to my ball striking. Loading the front leg. it did cause a bit of reverse pivot, which I had to correct. But once corrected - I can now hit any iron relatively well and address the ball with confidence. I am looking forward to regularly playing in the low 90’s. My contact is MUCH better.
Love to hear this!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!! This is exactly what I needed in order for me to reduce my number of strokes for up coming friend's tournament!
This will really help you hit some more solid and consistent shots!
GP. Always appreciate the instructional drills that can be done on the course while playing the game. Entirely enjoy your golf instructional videos generous of you for sharing.
Thank you so much, Peter! I appreciate you watching!
I'm 68 years old, and this simple drill changes everything for me! I'm so excited!
Nothing makes me happier than to hear that! This one is often a game changer for people and their consistency! Thank you so much for watching!
Nice tip Mike thanks, id like to see you talk about fairway woods set up and intentions when hitting from the ground and off a tee. thanks again
Great suggestion! We will get that idea going ASAP!
Senior golfer been doing this for years, after back surgery. It has made me a better golfer. Much more accurate and just as long as I ever was!
That’s great! I forgot to highlight in this video how much of a back saver this is! The lower trail back will get torn up if there’s any type of swing in the backswing and sliding on on the way through… anyone experiencing back pain this will help their golfing and their body more importantly!
Thanks for watching!
Same Fused 2014 ,and 7 knee surgeries . Left Knee 3 total replacement ‘s 5 shoulder surgeries shoot mostly low 80 ‘s but low 70’s when on.
Best advice I have heard is start with your weight 60-40 with your weight on left foot. As you take the club away try to keep that weight distribution the same. It stops swaying and generates better strikes
Yes, that promotes you turning around fix points in your Setup introduces so many moving parts and variables in the golf swing!
Too Cool,,, Thanks,,,,,
When would you use the left foot drill and when would you use the right foot drill you showed us in an earlier video? Thanks for putting these out!
The right leg drill is more of a backswing drill, this will give you the feel of what it’s like to load the trail leg, which is particularly important with anything above a short iron…. The left leg drill is going to give you a wonderful feeling of learning how to make a little bit of a more centered turn in the backswing, but also more importantly, learning how to rotate around your lead leg through impact which is essential for every club except perhaps the driver( that’s because the driver is the only golf ball that we’re hitting suspended from the middle of the air) the pressure will still hit the front foot with the driver but you will push up and back and at impact you will have a little more pressure on your back foot
Great lesson drill tips
Thank you!
Sometimes I do this pitching. It really helps to be sure no fats or chunks
Oh yes! This is fantastic for ANYThINg inside 100 yds or around the green!!! I actually feel like I have just my lead leg during all those shots, I just don’t drop the foot back.
Thanks for watching!
Ver nice!! Congrats.
Thank you for watching!
How’s about some content on keeping the elbows together and keeping the arms connected to the chest!
Love that suggestion!!
Nice, I like the fact that your heel works toward target a bit in the back swing. Then you shift pressure into that heel purchase until you strike the ball. That to me look like a clog in a gear that notched up a tooth. Without that purchase it wouldn't insure a ball first strike. 👍
if you swing with no lateral movement, what do you start the downswing/transition with? What is the very first action? Having trouble understanding what to do, if it’s not a shift in weight. Thanks man 🙏
Good question...if the weight is already transferred to the left leg which to me is the start of the downswing in the full swing then your downswing starter is already set up in the one legged drill.
@@frankleemartin54 I’m referring to a regular full swing
Good question. A pressure shift is different than a weight or mass shift. With a short iron and the stance narrow there isn’t too much of a pressure shift into the back foot. As the stance gets wider and you make the same turn pressure does shift into the back foot but it’s not because you’ve moved laterally with your upper lower body. it’s simply because you turned around fixed points and you’re set up and that’s what it changes the pressures in your feet. First move is pressure down into the front foot digging) and the core pulling the hands underneath the body and in front of the chest.
@@GolfPitt That is perfect. Thank you so much.
Great video, Mike. You said, "not the driver" - got it. How about a fairway wood?
No problem!!
I'm actually really struggling with this but I know its what my swing needs. Where should ball position be? My glute gets fatigued, is that good? Ball seems to be going left.
Gluth feeling a little soreness is good, soreness is different from pain and there should be no pain. For the drill, the ball position should be in front of your left toe.
On regular swings the ball position range from your sternum to your left shoulder. The pitching should be under the sternum. The driver would be under the left armpit or shoulder, and it would be a sliding scale in between about a quarter of an inch for each club.
If your boss is going left in, you’re a right handed player, you can try accelerating your lead arm and opening up your lead hip at the same time!
Thank you for watching!
LOVE IT
Thank you!
I need this drill, but looks like it would be tough on that knee.
You know I’m so glad you mentioned that. The only thing you have to be careful of is boy new spikes and especially new spikes on Matts. Thankfully in all my years of using this drill I’ve never had one person complain of knee pain.
But your glue, your hip, your IT band, your calves, your ankle, your shins they are all
Involved! This drill will strengthen and stretch them!
Thank you for watching
There's likely equal amount of torque applied to the ankle joint, if not more, than the knee. The key point for me on this video is that the feet need to move around inside our shoes. This is a small tidbit nobody seems to point out though feeling the lead foot slide almost off the sole of the shoe, or the shoe angling outward and the ankle rolling towards the target a little bit. Great video Mike!!
Mike - assuming you can do set gos from this?
Oh yeah! What a great combination!!!
can you do this with 6 iron ?
No problem! The strike will be very solid. However, as you get to longer Clubs, depending on your tendencies, you may see some ball flights that don’t go max distance or the correct trajectory… but it will definitely help train you how to make more solid contact abd rotate around your lead left through impact!
Hey this looks like the same course where Adam Porzak teaches, yeah?
Watch the video again. You might see a special guest in the background 🧐
Couldn't make out who was back there 🤣. But I did watch the whole video more attentively this time and realize you're talking to me. I've been an excessive knee shifter for years and I hit my irons fat most of the time. I did this drill years ago, but now that I have a better understanding of it, I'll give it another go. Thank you
Adam and I are business partners so we do share the same range!
Come back to us with how the drill works for you!
@@GolfPitt you guys must have a a great gig going on there. I've enjoyed Adams videos and this video of yours is the first one I've come across. Hoping it will create a good corrective feel. Much appreciated!
BTW I noticed the little bump with your hip at setup....you guys are on the same page!🤣
the 4:30 line??? This confuses me thanks great instruction
To hit down on our golf ball when it’s on the ground you should be getting about 80% of your weight on your front foot to make life easier and help the low point be in front of the ball. Having the pressure in your front foot as Liza you to turn your body around your front foot like it were a post
Leave weight in front foot simple.
Yup. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
👍
Thank you!
This is like, Stack... and not tilt.
Kind of! We love the lower body staying stable and a little forward but we do (with two feet) turn our chest over our black foot so we can move into the ball without getting in front of it!
Jim Venetos teaches something similar.
Not familiar with jim or what he teaches but I certainly love this drill!!
a bit like the Jim Venetos method
Not familiar with Jim, but this is a great drill many use to help with a more consistent strike!
Thanks for watching!
so, why not always hitting irons like this?
Good question! I have actually had some high handicap players do this for the entire round, and have a lot of success. That said, without getting too technical as the clubs get longer with less loft the dynamics of an efficient strike change specifically the angle attack which gets slightly shallower. With longer Clubs, the ability to turn behind the golf bar and load some pressure into the trail in the backswing Creates the ability for a more efficient, strike and a lot more power.
You can get roughly the same output from one leg with an 9 iron or more lofted club. Although you would get great shots with Clubs with less loft then a 9 iron although you would be hitting them super soft off one leg, you would not be getting the most out of it.
The longer the club, the more important the role of the trail leg.
But again, if you’re someone who really struggles with solid contact, this is a fantastic go to drill and a great feel you can do on the course to get more solid strikes more often!
@@GolfPittGreat explanation and answer, then!
I was already using this drill on the range, now and then.
I'll give it a try on the golf course from 9 down to the wedges, should I struggle sometimes. Thanks!
Awesome!
Good video, alright and ok seem to be over used by American teachers, just saying?
That's true but I keep forgetting things like this so it's a good reminder
Nice stereotype 🤷🏻♂️
Good drills should be used often by many so I’m happy to hear this.
Thanks for watching!
Boom
Driver! How to hit up on it, the release and weight transfer 🏌️♂️⛳️
I have been waiting to do a driver video until I get my new paradigm AI smoke! It should be here soon and we will get one going!
Try this video in the time being!
