- Learn my favorite ball striking drills to improve your contact and accuracy with your irons on the golf course!
In this VLS Golf Swing Lesson, Todd Kolb talks about how to improve ball striking with irons with 3 simple tips that take only 5 seconds to implement!
Another great tip from US Golf TV! My biggest weakness has been weight shift, but I think practicing with the 60:40 concept from this video will help me improve. The more I watch your videos, the more I want to take private lessons if I ever get the chance. I am a 51-year-old golfer in Korea.
Great to hear that you are finding the content helpful. Thank you. Next best thing to private lessons is our book THE BAD LIE which you can find on Amazon. We cover the entire Vertical Line Swing in the book.
Great tips !! I had two range sessions this weekend. I've been taking my copy of the The Bad Lie and reviewing while actually on the range. Still having issues hitting ball first and taking a divot. Ball flight is high and not penetrating. I can feel the strike is not good. It has to be my transition. I'm 66 from Salisbury NC. I've watched five iron videos last night. You make it look so easy brother !!

This a great refresher for me. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re a Butch Harman disciple. I remember watching a Butch Harman video 25 years ago very similar to this and I played the best golf of my life. I haven’t played much in the last 15 years and I’m terrible, but these tips have helped me a lot at the range and hopefully I can get respectable again, since I’m now retired.
Thanks for the kind words. Butch Harman is the best if not one of the best golf instructors of all time. Honor to be mentioned with him. Have you seen our book THE BAD LIE where we cover the entire Vertical Line Swing. It can be found on Amazon.
@@USGOLFTVshow I’ll give it look.
Todd , Love this video! I follow you constantly. My question is when I take swings at local golf stores that have Trackman bays , the distance on my clubs is so much shorter than swings outside or on the course. I can’t figure it out , the swings feel the same . Thanks !
Good question, keep in mind even the best technology used indoors is an estimate on how far the ball goes. The only metric that really matters is how far the ball travels when on the course.
Todd, I hit my irons pretty 😮well from fareways with good grass and when the ground is soft but struggle with hard ground and less grass. I usually take a nice divot but with the hard ground have almost no divot. I have trouble getting the ball in the air on the hard ground. Any suggestions? Could I be hitting ground sligjtly before the ball?
Are there ways to hit better off hard ground?
Much appreciated 🙏
I had lower back fusion several years back. I'm in the over 60 crowd so my mobility and flexibility have greatly suffered. My left leg at impact slides out and back to bring all my weight to my right side and leg at finish. Help!! This is something I developed during and after back surgery recovery. At 6'4" and 290lbs I can barley hit a 225 drive and lost 15-20 yards on my irons.
Would you do this with a wedge when you are say 70 yrds away from target
Many of the same principles apply here also, yes.
Why don’t we always use the step drill when we play a round?
You sure can, no reason not to. Have you seen our book THE BAD LIE where we cover the entire Vertical Line Swing. You can find the book on Amazon.
Why not just leave weight at 60 /40 in front leg and dont send any weight to back. It's probably easier to send that weight or pressure from there.
A lot of good players do exactly that
