- I hope you enjoy this video everyone and PLEASE PLEASE subscribe if you're reading this, so you can help me keep making videos for you :)
Just to say, when I talk about Nelly Korda,...im actually factually incorrect, she USED to play with these irons, now she's move to Taylormade #awks. forgive me xxx
We have some mega videos in the pipeline...
See you soon.
Iona and the team xx

Like this comment if you want ON THE ROAD HICKORY ALIGNMENT STICKS :)
ever since I came across your videos it sent me down the hickory alignment sticks. For no good reason, I loved seeing them and love the fact they are wood.
Saving the planet with hickory, not plastic!
I left my alignment sticks at the range last week 🤦🏻♂️
How can I buy them please 😮
They look sweet!
What a breath of fresh air with your interviews and golfing tips, thoughts and advice. Pleasure to follow this channel.
After watching the Adam Scott video, I tried to think of the “let it breathe” comment on the backswing. Excellent tip/swing thought.
Iona you are nothing but class in all your videos! You may not be the professional golfer you wanted to be, but you are showing the rest of us, your love for the game!
More of these please. Maybe a yardage with WITB range session? Very relaxing to watch. RAMBLE ON
I have the same injury ( wrist) have to k-tape it every time for support when I play or practice …love the content Iona 👍🇬🇧
Just 10 minutes in, and I recognize how useful it's going to be to follow you. Solid gold stream of consciousness. And so well put.
You did a fantastic job at announcing at the DP tournament.
This is just quality entertainment with the very best information on u tube to help any level of golfer improve, thanks again
Oh my gosh. Everything you said at 4:30 mark is me. I was fitted for Mizuno irons a couple years ago, and was put in more forgiving irons but sole is wider and probably more heavy. I learned golf on blades. I'm in my 50's with Driver swing speed 95-100mph and I hit my 7 155. My irons are regular, but woods are stiff shaft. Your explanation is very interesting. Never thought of drag as I tend to pull my shots like you said. Steel fiber might be something to check out.
With all the technology now in golf I love the way two simple hickory sticks are probably the best training aids we can carry in our bag.
Nice to see your trying to improve. I love your video's Iona.
The feel and real comment you make is interesting, especially in relation to grip pressure. A couple of years ago I remember seeing a lab experiment (you tube) on grip pressure where the club had sensors in the handle that measured the grip pressure applied in the swing (a pro was swinging the club, not the scientist!).
At address the pro said his grip was three out of ten and the scientist measured the pressure as a datum starting point.
The pro swung the club and said that he felt he'd maintained the 3 out of 10 grip pressure throughout the swing.
The science however measured a grip pressure way beyond 10 (something like 5 or 6 times greater than his perceived 3 out of 10 address pressure) from downswing and through impact.
Further swings gave the same result. It proved that the oft repeated 'toothpaste' / 3 out of 10 analogy was in fact nonsense as it would be impossible to hold onto the club in a full pro swing if a toothpaste grip pressure was maintained throughout.
It seems that the human brain instinctively knows this, and accordingly sends an 'apply more pressure' message to the fingers.
A very surprising feel versus real example. I've often wondered if the same applies when putting albeit with a relatively different pressure/ swing speed ratio.
"shell eggs"! 🤣Never heard that one before (not here in the States anyway)... "Rambling On The Range with Iona".
Keep on rambling Iona, it gives so much information about your game and practice, nice to watch, shoot low.......
Ooh I’ve used those aerotechs stiff i95 I think, they were absolutely smooth and a dream to hit.
Great advice as always! Love watching your timing. ❤
I hope you do more of these rambling sessions as you call them. It's fun seeing what you are working on. I always enjoy watching you swing the club.
I really love these kind of videos. So watchable and instructive.
Super duper interesting!!! I think I read somewhere that Ernie Els recently switched to lighter shafts in his irons (I think just irons…not 100%) and gained some distance. And the bit about being relaxed at address and swing tempo etc. has always intrigued me. Saw an old clip recently of Bobby Jones swinging and he looks like he’s barely holding the club. And back to Els, he looks so relaxed-the “Big Easy is so fitting. I think “Range Ramblings” is a great idea for a video. Thanks as always!!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!!
Love these style of videos, super informative and interesting, and equally entertaining
Great video! So many good takeaways from this. Thank you!
Hitting the range tomorrow, so this is perfect timing! Great tips!
Excellent tips Iona thanks.
Love watching your videos, keep them coming
Always an interesting watch
Hi Iona, couldn't agree more about the importance of playing shafts that are better suited. I've been playing for 14 years, mid-handicapper, 90-ish driver clubhead speed, and I recently tried out a bunch of irons. Bottom line, I've been playing Taylormade and Callaway irons, steel shafts, 80-90 grams, switched to 70 gram shafts and suddenly I can time my swing way better, with excellent results. The confidence boost alone has been worth it, as has been the pleasure of seeing more shots come out the way I planned. Love your channel, keep up the good work.
Love watching and listening to you! It’s always like meditation to me. :-)
Love how simple you make complicated things sound. Keep the videos coming Iona!
Excellent as always Iona - keep them coming!
Another cracking video!! I'm getting so much from your videos whether its game improvement tips or inspiration. Really appreciate what you're sharing, thanks Iona.
Super instruction, keeping everything logical and simple.
So right to focus on this and invaluable, thank you for another great post. Much appreciated!
Really enjoy all of your posts and media coverage, feel I'm always learning something new.
Love your range sessions and listening to you talk about your equipment. Hearing all of the details about why you are choosing to use certain clubs and shafts is great stuff!
Thank you Iona, keep well, good luck with the new heads and shafts.
Thanks Iona...great fundamentals. I like the tips and am a big Nelly Korda fan also...hope the clubs work out, maybe a regular flex is worth a try?
Keep it up! Range rambling are great!
We were at the Lakeview last month, glad to see the kittens are doing ok at the range.
Oh they are so sweet! ❤
Well done Iona, another great video 👍
Greetings Iona, great to see you progressing in the sport, well done, best wishes for the future!!
Great tips Iona! Especially love the tips with the alignment sticks. I have them in my bag and need to use them more. This was great motivation. Thank you.
Great timing for these “fundamentals” drills building a great collection to give me focus over winter away from the course. Thanks for taking the time to share in such a simple and authentic way. ❤
best "ramblings" I've heard in a long time - thank you
Love your golf passion❤
Always great content 😁👌👍 Great shaft advice 👍, I actually moved into the same shaft and couldn't be happier.
Iona, I have been using the MMT 80 fibre steel shafts in stiff for 18 months. When I was being fit for the irons, the fitter said, they are a marmite shaft, and I agree. I couldn't change back now, they're so smooth, compared to steel shafts IMHO. I also have another set with similar shafts, not MMT's and they too are smooth to hit. The big plus is a reduced amount of vibration felt at impact, which again, as we age is a huge positive. Thicker grips also help, I have XL hands so my grips are jumbo, but would suggest these thicker grips again reduce vibration. Good to see you back hitting balls, and sure the swing will quickly sort itself out over the winter season. It has been a busy year for you, with so much TV work. Long may it continue, think you are a favourite with the players.😁
Great Video Iona
found this interesting as always looking for ways to improve my golf from either range,nets or on the course.
recently brought a clip on tripod that slots onto my golf bag so i can record my swing and as a 2year golfer want to get that crisp swing,and looking back at videos helps alot.
love the channel and content 🏌🏻♂️
Getting fitted for clubs and your videos have made golf more enjoyable. Thank you, Iona.
Loved this Iona! Great listening to you talk about your swing! Which by the way, Looks pretty good, so smooth!! Keep em coming!
Also thank you so much for always showing so many playing tips especially tool related to help with fundamentals. I actually think exceptional fundamentals are far more attractive and admirable than any massive powerful hits some folks can make happen just with strength. A smooth elegant swing is my dream, even if distance is middle of the road :). Im working at it and your tips mean a lot to me. Thank you!!
I would definitely like some alignment sticks! Great content Iona!
Didnt know about your injury and journey until I watched that short instagram feed. Now I can truly appreciate what you do more. Keep up the good work mate.🥰
You are awesome Iona!
Another great video Iona. I remember watching you practice with the same diligence years ago when you played at my club.
I like your approach to working on the range, always thinking about what you are doing.
Good insight into your clubs and practice for. Thanks
Another really good insightful video 👏🏼
Thanks. Love your thoughts and tips
Great watch Iona you explain things so well and make it sound simple it's a joy to watch :) at the start of new year I'm giving myself 2 years to get into single figures (currently off 18 ) so these range vids are perfect.
Enjoying the vids great content
I really enjoy your videos. I very rarely comment on videos but I also struggle with a bad wrist and having to give up the dream of playing professional golf. I have made some changes in my shaft to make it easier to play. I have been teaching and club fitting for 30+ years. I recently switched to the Auto Flex shaft in all my clubs and the properties of this shaft have really helped. Lighter weight shaft and the shaft really kicks with less effort. I am hitting the driver 15 yards longer and hitting the irons one club longer and the only change to the club was the shaft. If you try this it is critical for it to work correctly to have the correct flex based on your club head speed and correct swing weight for the shaft. Enjoyed your video with Adam Scott and he used the Auto Flex in his driver a couple of years ago. Great to see you have found a new career your excellent at and enjoy. Wish you all the best and look forward to more videos.
You come out with some great little nuggets of information, Iona
Keep up the good work and hope you have a great year ahead 👍
Can't wait for more videos!!!!!
OK, will start taking my alignment sticks out to the driving range again. Just got a bit lazy. Have to admit that I loved my new clubs straight away when I got them (a couple of years ago), following a lengthy fitting session trying many clubs and shafts. Ended up getting lighter shaft, 110 gm down from old 130 gm. Still love them. Also still wish I could swing like Adam Scott.
Great video. Great insight 🥃
Nice tips Iona. Very useful.
Perfect time of year here in Scotland for hitting the range and now I have some great tips to take with me. I'll make scratch next year for sure. :D
Another great video, looking forward to future ones 😊
Hi Iona! One of your insta clan just checking in to let you know I’m here and loving your range ramblings!
Great vid iona,I’ve just got my daughter into golf and ur videos are really helping her…keep up the great work…
Nice ramble Iona! Looking forward to more chasing the red and some guest appearances.
Great video Iona, can’t speak for everyone but I can listen to you rambling on all day..
Love the vid Iona, the mix of technical / tips and just “proper golf” content is what makes your vids stand out from the rest. Plus, you’ve been there and got the t shirt, just adds so much more….Keep em coming please!
That actually was really interesting, some good info from you.
Love a good alignment stick
Perfect ramble ❤
I love watching Nelly Korda’s swing too. Another great video and well done with your role at the Ryder cup and the Race to Dubai finale.
Great video, totally agree. Basics are key fundamentals. And the cornerstone to strong rounds of golf
Range Ramblings- Some great tips and coincidentally had Titleist fitting yesterday and loved the 100s had the TS2 as well. Thanks for the advice, Great video and glad to see you striping it 👍🏌️♀️
Looking forward to next year on the ⛳️
Really love your swing! Also, really really loved your video with Adam S. Keep hard at work Iona :-)
Great info and tips. Ive been working on grip presure as i was strangling the life out the club with my grip, i was so inconsistant. The toothpaste tip is a great tip, im going to give it a go at the range this weekend
One underrated part for a soft feeling is the grip (or better - it´s material). I was fitted for Taylormade P770 irons with Nippon Modus 3 105 shafts in s-flex (btw a shaft, often played on LET and LPGA Tour; it is a very good combination of lighter weight, soft feel and accuracy). During the fitting it felt so soft, but i ordered the clubs with the grips (WINN DriTac Wrap Midsize), i had on my former clubs . I felt a little too hard for me, even with good hits. Changing to softer grips (WINN Exel) was the key to have his beautiful feeling, i had at the fitting session.
One other thing comes in my mind, when you describe your inward rotation problem with the T200 irons ... a wrong lieangle ... maybe? I´m sure, that you had great fitters at Titleist, that have checked that, but i think it is important, to mention that point.
Loved this Iona 😊. Lots of great tips as I’m starting my golf journey. Super point re the fundamentals - I’m not there with the golf yet but exactly the same when I played hockey 🙌🏻. Enjoying the community btw. Keep the videos coming 👏
You are right about Monty. He seems to have the most relaxed grip and fluid swing. I watched him play at this years Ryder cup in a pro-am event and it was breathtaking wo watch how well he swings his irons.
Great video Iona - love the toothpaste analogy! Enjoy the close season and get some rest and recuperation....some quality winter golf on the St Andrews links will help!👌
I love watching the practice habits of great golfers to see what I can do ❤ I always feels like I am there and could ask a question! I wonder if my irons are too heavy now
Bar a couple of years where I tried the interlock grip, I have used the baseball grip, just felt comfortable with it since I was 13/14 years old now 65....still loving the game love being out there....Great vlog as always 👍
It's always a pleasure, Iona!
Now I want another iron fitting (my clubs work perfectly fine, but it's golf, so why not). You've got me questioning the 125g shafts
Iona, what a great discussion on the weight of the shaft. I am a big guy and fairly strong. I went from 125g shafts to 85g graphite and will never look back. Such a huge eye opening difference. Keep up the great content!
Golf should be a process of lifelong learning…whether it’s trying different clubs, working on chipping skills using a variety of clubs, learning how to shape shots….once you stop learning your game will stall and you’ll never achieve your full potential. Lovely work Iona x
Superb reminder about Adam Scott saying to give it a moment at the top of the backswing - so many of us rush that bit, most likely (certainly for me at times) caused by slight panic at the top & not being confident we’ve got it done well enough or for what’s to come - reality is that delay will most likely give us the best chance of hitting it well!
Hi. Great video. Really interesting that you suggest the 'overlap' grip for small hands; I'm in that category, lol, but find the 'interlock' much more comfortable, allowing me to get 'more' hands onto the grip. Cheers
Another nice video, Iona.
I must say - like others - I am surprised that you have not ventured into graphite shafts (as yet) for your irons.
I just got fit into the T150s with LA GOLF, Mid-85g, graphite shafts in S-flex (I am mid-40s) and there was a night and day difference re: stability/softness compared to the steel fibre.
I went for these primarily due to tendonitis, so put the LA shaft onto the 48deg wedge as well.
Then I got a separate fit for the higher wedges and got given "constant weight" graphite shafts (Accra) to try - just to feel the wedge head more (with the same stability / softness).
Game changing.
You will love your steel fiber shafts. They provide a great feel response from the contact.
Enjoy..
Ps. Agree with regard to total weight of golf clubs.
Cheers
Guy
Iona, this is the first of your videos I’ve watched (sorry😂), what I really like is that, as a 13 handicapper, your advice is so real world and relatable, eg problems with the driver = change it rather than consider it may be the users swing. Moreover, it’s your tips to issues that work for me. Many thanks and now fully subscribed so I don’t miss the next one.
My daughter changed to a very light shaft a ust Helium she gained height and distance and she’s a 1 handicap so I’ve followed in her footsteps with my driver and gained a few much needed yards
Very good content. Thanks.
Vincent Norrman was probably like “OMG that’s Iona!!!”
