    Do you want to pure your irons like a tour pro? Watch this...
    Are you tired of hitting it fat, thin, toed, heeled, maybe even a shank?
    Today you're going to find the best way to pure those irons, get some distance back in there, and hit them straight, high, and knock down some flagsticks.
    Matt Walter, PGA Teaching Professional at Vanderbilt Legends Club shows us how.
    We're going to get you hitting your irons the best you ever have. I have three drills that we're going to do today, all of which are going to help you find the center of the club face with your irons the best way possible.
    So, let's talk about what happens when you hit a good iron shot. What are we looking for, dynamically, at impact? So, when we hit a good iron shot, it should be ball-first contact, and the club head should be traveling down, still, as it contacts the golf ball.
    So, our divots are actually taking place after the ball, three to four inches after the ball, and not before the ball or at the golf ball.
    So, if you want to hit your irons pure, we have to be able to ensure that we're hitting the golf ball first, the club head's still going down, and catches the golf ball with the divot just past the ball, and going through the shot.
    Now, just because I said the club head is going down doesn't mean your arms are going down, but the club head is still traveling down. Also, at impact, we want some shaft lean, right? We want to have our hands in front of the golf ball.
    That's the Holy Grail of golf shots everybody talks about. "I've got to have more shaft lean."
    Well, today's drills are going to help you achieve that, and it's not going to be in the ways you might think, where you're actually going to focus on shaft lean.
    We're going to do it by focusing on some other drills that are going to bring it in because you have to have shaft lean to hit the shots the way you want. The first drill uses a towel...
    Watch the video to see all 3 drills, and start puring those irons.

    Great drills. Just went to the range using the right elbow tuck drill minus the towel. My right elbow must have been all over the place but keeping it tighter to the body and focusing on my club head path on my back swing has really helped. 2 large buckets and most of the shots felt great, only a few miss hits (I'm a 22 handicap!) A few times I rotated my hips a little early and the ball went right, never a slice, just lost accuracy, once I focused more on a subtle weight transfer and letting the club head do the work, the consistency of the shots was much better. Subscribed!

    Have come back after a five year elbow injury and have had issues with irons. Had a long range session today doing the first two drills and found some real improvement.
    Thanks for this they are really good.

    Just bought a new golf net for the back yard..can’t wait to watch these videos and immediately be able to go practice them in the comfort of my own yard. No more wasted time driving and spending money at the range. With these drills, my net, and impact stickers I can work better at home to eventually make my range time before a round more efficient. Thank you.

It is an awesome exclusive product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got astronomical results with it.

    • @crashraynor
      @crashraynor 3 года назад

      @@novaknovakovic1585 good athletes will figure it out. If you're not a good athlete then you need a good swing.
      The club is a hammer. Swing like the head weighs 5 lbs, you can't make a bad swing with a sledge hammer (you would almost certainly hurt yourself)
      Go hit a tree with a sledgehammer. Thats how you hit a golf ball.

    • @PerformanceGolfZone

      Honestly I have never paid attention to that but you can look to the inside of the ball for a draw and the outside of the ball for a fade if you like.

    Spent a few days on the driving range applying these drills and can definitely see a difference already

  • @PhilipJohn365
    @PhilipJohn365 6 лет назад +3

    Thanks for your video. Good tips to try something different on the range. I went from hitting irons pure - to cannot hit my irons at all - I think its because of my pursuit for distance on my longer irons...my 8 iron was 150 and 4 iron was 180. In trying to get my 8 iron to 160 and my 4 iron to 190 / 200, I cant hit any iron now. My range time today was the worst I had in 4 years since I started golf. Have to start from scratch and basics.

    I really like these drills! The step drill works very well for me and I definitely feel like I get a turn and great compression of the ball. My question is this.....how do I stop having to step, since it's the ONLY way I can repeat the compression? Is there a point in which the turn and compression will become second nature?

  • @touristguy87
    @touristguy87 4 года назад

    Sounds interesting but the key here is that you're not rotating your hips so much.
    I wouldn't say "not at all" but still it's subtle.
    So you're supposed to re-establish that tight torso-arm interaction in the downswing?
    So how to you maintain arm-speed through the swing?
    I can see the point of the drill is to get the upper arms properly positioned which I take it is more to the point. But you are turning your hips open at the end.

    Thanks so much. I have lost my swing due to too many swing changes. The first two drills were the one that l often practice at range. Using short iron and hit it simple and pure
    . And it always give better hits at the course. Ego got the better of me to want to have a pro swing and got myself mess up. I am taking the medicine to go back to basics. Tqvm.

    People have a wrong conception that arms and wrists plays role in downswing or backswing. Shoulders are the one moves in both directions and arms are merely on the way of swing and do nothing. This way, you hit ball consistently solid. No one talks about.

    Hi Matt, I think these are really great drills. Thank you. I kindly need your help. At impact, my right trailing foot has not moved at all, arms sligtly bent, shaft is not leaned forward, shoulders are square like at setup, hips the same. However, I am happy with my ball flights in general. In forward swing, I try to turn my leading hip first. Why I end up at impact in this status? What is it that I am missing that I need to do? I would be so happy to know it so thatvI can play better golf. Thank you so much. All the best.

    • @PerformanceGolfZone
      @PerformanceGolfZone  6 лет назад +3

      I usually do that just to keep the face stable while I grip with my left hand. 1 degree of change is somewhere in the ball park of 12 yards off line at 300 yards. So to me I want to make sure the clubface is placed in my grip the same way every time.

    This is how you take it back closed. This also forces you to shift in front of the ball (otherwise the club is coming up. Nice top.) because your front side collapsed going back. Taking it back hooded is a quick fix for slicers, DONT DO THAT TO YOURSELF. You may short term fix your slice but smother hooking it is much harder to get rid of.
