My PW goes 100m, my 7 Iron goes 130m, my 5 Iron goes 90m and my 3 Iron goes 70 Meters. 🤦♂️
spot on mate
The struggle is real
Me too night mare
Yup…. My distances with my iron is a bell curve.
What about 6 iron?
10 minutes worth of telling me my swing is sh*t, lol. Thanks for the reminder.
I think most folks will agree.
There's also the ' trying to hit the ball hard' with longer irons too, which gets me all out of shape and tempo 😬
That is exactly my problem and I wish I had an answer to it.
I'm a 31 - year old from Papua New Guinea who just started playing 2 months ago. I've been scouring the internet for tips on how to get better in the quickest way possible. After 6 weeks of PAIN, I discovered ZGM two weeks ago and have binge-watching and implementing the instructions every day at the range since. In 2 WEEKS, yes 2 weeks, I'm delighted to say I've gone from being a "tree-hugging" guru during rounds to effortless iron striking right down the centre of the fairway with that oh so sweet compressed and effortless feel. Thank you Markus and ZGM!!!
This video addresses one of the things that I'm noticing though. I can strike the ball very well from my PW to my 4i but my 3i hasn't been the same. I now understand perfectly why this is the case.
If someone has the second part to this video, please direct me there. Thank you again!!!! 😄
This describes my irons perfectly, so I’m certainty looking forward to part 2! It’s roughly a 10m difference between my predictable shorter irons, but 5-3i seem to be little or no gains when I would have expected slightly more per club. After years away from the game I’m getting back to the range weekly, working on leaving my dreaded over-the-top-chop and slice behind, with a swing around the body more and a path to right-field like you help illustrate with the hoop. When I get it right it feels great with nice shape, better ball speed and distance. Loving your videos from NZ and getting back into golf!
Just to Inform I've won my first golf tournament this weekend! Thanks Marcus for all RUclips video's. A game changer your lessons!!
Wow, super happy for you my man 👊
@@GRFGolf breathing and visualization what an experience.cheers from Portugal
@@GRFGolf net and gross
And nearest to the pin!😂
Good job Ricardo. I’m progressing. I feel I can be pretty consistent at this game once I figure some things out. Hoping to break 80 this year But more than once. But most importantly be consistent. Videos like this are part of the progression.
So much talking without saying anything
I just wanted to say thank you for making your videos and using real people in them, like me. I haven’t played a round in over a month because of work and a new baby but I have been practicing using a net, the balance board, and visualizing my shot. I like most probably most weekend golfers try to hit the ball straight. Today I didn’t try to do that once and I played probably the best round of my life. Today I didn’t think once about hitting the ball or be upset after a poor shot. I just thought about if the ball did what I visualized. Huge game charger for me. So again thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
Awesome, so pleased it's helped 👍
ZEN Golf Mechanic I hope you show some more short game and putting videos.
I cured my long iron issues , I replaced them with hybrids.
😂😂
Solved mine with Cobra one-length
Wow. Thanks for pointing this out. 170 yard par 3s have been my nemesis because of this. I have a bleeding fade on my 5 and 6 iron shots and I haven't been able to sort out why. Explained perfectly.
Also a very important video to understand that swing faults could be masked in higher lofted irons an more importantly Exactly why. Best explanation I have ever seen. Genius!
Brilliant analogy I think most club golfers have this problem. Including myself. Great stuff Marcus.
Great explanation. Only discovered your channel yesterday. Have watched 4 or 5 videos already and the mix of technical skill and creative thinking is right up my street. I'm using it all the time in my therapy work with clients and did so when I was a professional violinist. Thanks
This is genius I’ve never had it explained like this. This is why I hit all my long irons the same distance with more curve.
Thanks for a great explanation, I never quite understood why I struggle to shape my shorter Iron shots and yet my longer Iron shots bend like David Beckham Freekicks. Now waiting eagerly for the next vid for the solution!
This is perfect. I just finally corrected my swing over the past month after a couple years’ frustration. Wish I’d found this vid sooner; it would have made the process quicker and easier.
wow! what a mind opening truth. mine stop at 6 iron. any longer club starting to get really ugly ball flying path. Thanks alot Sir!
Thanks Marcus for another fantastic insight into this great game we’re all trying to play. Your explanations are so clear and applicable to all golfers. If you haven’t had a lesson with Marcus, I thoroughly recommend you get one arranged. It’s an excellent experience.
Holy cow. Now I understand why I hook the crap out of my 4i, and when I try to correct it, it just goes 20 miles right! Unfortunately, we're left to our own to figure out how to solve this issue. LOL. But thanks for throwing some extra science into all of this!
Amazing explanation! It's exactly what I've been seeing.
Short irons great, long irons slice!
This video and the universe brought us together because I had a range session last night and I couldn't hit anything over a 7 iron, so thank you
This is exactly what I needed. When I get to my 7 iron it goes left. (Left handed golfer). I never understood it. I learned to turn my wrists down when I get to my 7 iron and above before impact and it goes straight… never understood it until now… with the 7 iron and above I’m coming in with an open clubface so when I close those down with my wrists it goes straight. 8 iron and below I can do normal swings.
Superb explanation of what happens to the ball with the longer irons. Really great to understand that.
I know all that! My problem is swing speed, I hit it more or less strait, but 7 iron up I get same distance.😢
Too much dynamic loft at impact. Chances are it's an early release.
Im looking for a video titled, "Why you hit your short irons shit, but your long irons shit, and your putting shit, as well as the driver is shit"
This is an OUTSTANDING video! If you are a very good player, this is a great reminder. If you are a beginner or someone looking to improve, this is the best explanation I’ve viewed on RUclips!
haha Just asked that myself ... 9,8,7,6 OK... 5 iron and I feel like I just started playing golf for the first time. Thanks for the vid
I have exactly the problem you described. So would you recommend adjusting the amount you bow your wrist depending on the iron length?
The VERY BEST visual explanation of this phenomenon, bar none! Thanks.
FFS! Whens part 2? Had the equivalent of a golfing semi there.... Obviously kidding! Wonderful description gents!
😂😂😂
So correct on this..
Long iron ball flight tells me when my swing is off.
Great video!
This is very clear and thinking about it - would it actually be better to use a 4 iron to perfect the swing?
1st year golfer
Dude Just blew my mind with the relationship of loft to path
😂
That makes so much sense
Great explanation of why i suck at golf
I need part 2! Please! 😂
Fixed ny driver and Long irons, but now im Hooking my short irons😅
Exactly the problem I have at the moment, put us all out of our misery and give us part 2! 🤣😂 Keep up the great videos fellas.
Hope to hear back from you soon, ive got to get myself a lesson to empty all the pre swing crap from my head!!
Great video, love the way you explain things it makes the game so easy to understand! Looking forward to hearing back from you and getting a session booked in!
This is amazing, I am a late starter 71 healthy male and what happened yesterday at the range is exactly what you are explaining, 8 9 consisant but 456 irons and even 7 iron off to the right and no more than 50/70 yards and most of them along the ground, many thanks a great video, will be out the range in the morning 👌👌5xxxx
Great breakdown, consistent and thorough as ever!
I hope you come out with an online instruction/class. I just ran upon this channel, and I hit balls for 5 hours today. Now I have ice put on right above my right glute/lower back. this channel is awesome!
Thanks, take it easy man 👍
First time I've seen this channel. This was really useful to me, as it explains something I've never really thought about before. Now I am looking forward to watching some more of your videos.
Hey great video, 3:27 is exactly what I am doing. I only use my hybrid PW and driver on the course.
I'm bingeing these videos while I sit indoor with covid 😅
Brilliant observations and explanations. Looking forward to part 2.
love the title. honest and accurate
Saw the title of this and came running 😂 it’s beginning to get very frustrating having to lay up so often.
Wonderful visual explanation. Didn't understand this face/path/loft concept variability fully. Now I do! This should help immensely with awareness during a round when swing is off slightly especially on windy days. Thanks a bunch!
Hi Marcus...great vids...much appreciated as I have improved my game and distance putting in practice your concepts. As different to many players, I struggle with short irons swing and I think it is due to my previous experience playing baseball and softball. I feel really uncomfortable with short irons.
So good !!! Thank you!
That makes perfect since .I'm deadly accurate with 9,P,A,S..ect
But 20ft off with 3,4,5,6
Markus, is there really a Part 2 for this video ? I can’t find it 😔
Thanks for another great video Marcus. That’s really helped me to understand the club lofts and direction. Looking forward to part 2!
Hi Marcus -great video re short/long irons but I cannot find part two ? Love ❤️ the coaching 👍👍👏👏👏👌
Great lesson. We now can figure out that practicing more often with long irons can help improve our swing path instantly! 👍
And the instructors on RUclips and golf clubs, use 7 irons.
You hit perfectly straight shots by getting the face and path perfectly aligned at impact. But your not a machine and getting these perfectly aligned every shot is impossible. But you need to: 1.) Get control of the face and the path. 2.) Accept that your not a machine and getting these perfectly aligned every shot is impossible, your ball is going to curve, either right or left, almost all the time, based on you swing tendencies. 3.) Strive for alignment perfection but play golf allowing for the shot shape you tend to hit.
Great explanation.
great eye opener !! I was told it,s my LOFT... lack of frekin talent !! : ). Thank you Coach !!
Most confusing explanation I’ve every heard.
Figured this out today just had to grip the longer irons a bud harder
This is great info, but how do I make sure the face is straight? (I started this year on Father’s Day) and can hit most of my clubs except long irons, I have 0 confidence to make a long iron shot from way out I always grab my woods and I want to change that.
What a great explanation. This is spot on what's happening to me. I need to fix my path something fierce. I'm so over the top.
Great video
What a great demonstration .
What’s the solution my boy
is it correct to train more with the longer irons rather than with the shorts one?thanks from italy....
Clear as mud.
Play your longer irons with a closed stance!!! Draw stance!
I’m actually the opposite of recent. Hitting my 7-5i great but distance drop off on my short irons. Suspect angle of attack has gotten a little shallow.
Path dictates starting point NOT curvature…club face dictates curvature NOT path. Only thing I disagree with this video on. I hope that didn’t confuse people. If you hit out to the right that means in to out path the ball will start right doesn’t mean it will draw unless you close the club face through impact and put draw spin on it, if you leave it square it will push if you leave it open it will fade all will start right of target but club face dictates the curvature NOT swing path. The opposite for hitting across the ball, out to in swing path starts the ball left of target , club face will dictate it’s curvature from that point on.
Face primarily influences start line and path dictates curvature. You're quoting the old ball flight laws.
"Can be sorted in a range session." LOL! If only that were true.
Makes sense that I can hit my lower irons on hills so well. Haha I hope this works next time out on the course cause I'm doing the opposite.
Im a 9 handicap and my long irons anywhere but off the tee are a PROBLEM. I can hit 6 and down off fairway no problem but if it's a 5 or 4 iron it's a consistent thin. It makes me layup on 200 yard shots which is literally me hitting sand wedge back to back. Hitting my long irons well would help me so so so much to drop 2-3 shots a round
Finally a video under 10 minutes. 👍🏻
Noooooooo what a tease lol great video can't wait for part 2
This makes so much sense
Simple fix:
Carry a driver, putter and PW. That’s all I need for most courses. Hitting a 5 iron 110 yards is the norm lately. I’ve lost my swing. I give up. I hate golf. Hate it!! I once loved it but it’s ruined too many days and too many arguments as a result.
My contact is less consistent with longer irons. Is that just a matter of repetition or confidence thing?
I’m asking what time is it and he builds a clock!
Then you don't need to ask again in the future 👍
100% me my 7 iron up are banging soon as I get 6,5 4 it’s down hill
With my long irons I hit the ground all the time, the ball still goes straight. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Stock lie angle 718 AP2s I cut 4 iron about 10 yards right. My mizuno job 921 tours…1 degree upright from titleist standard lie. Straight as an arrow…with same swing
Hey Marcus you may be able to help NBA hall of Famer Charles Barkley in the US
The only man who could hahaha
@@malone77 😂😂😂
Why do club manufacturers keep removing loft from irons? Surely dispersion will be up for the average golfer
I’m quite lucky because in the summer month I tee off with 5 and 6 and they go straight, they are my favourite clubs. My 5 is good for about 220 carry and then bounces on the hard fairways to about 250.
Nice, now I understand nu problem. How do I solve it!🏌🏻♀️
This guy takes 10 minutes to explain something he could explain in 1 minute…
In an age where everybody wants everything immediately it's a nice distraction to enjoy the journey of the content 👍
so with this clip in mind I played todays round.
I had a slightly closed stance with my long irons (i5, i6)
And a more neutral to open stance with my wedges and i8, 9,P
The result was much better. I missed almost none of the targets.
eye opening.
Is there a part 2?
This is absolute class! What a fantastic explanation. You da man!!
Oh Marcus you little tease leaving me on a cliffhanger for part two 😂
😂😂😂
This video is a game changer for me. Thanks for the succinct explanation.
Nice one Marcus 👍
There’s one simple reason why I can’t hit long irons and even hybrids. It’s got nothing to do with length of the club, or the loft of the club, and definitely not my swing! Its always the lie angle!!! After a year of frustration playing golf and never being able to hit anything more than a 6 iron, I went and bought shoes with an extra two inches of lift… and sure enough I started crushing my long irons!
Dude! You put it out there in a way that I can pick up what your putting down.
I get the distance but I can’t get it to come off to low and knuckle sometimes in a weird shape
so cool that rick gervais is now doing golf. i loved him in The Office UK version.
😂😂
Mine is starting on line then turns 60yrds left of target with 6,5,4 irons but I generally miss left with most clubs🤯🤯🤯
I have the opposite problem. 3-7 might not fly as high but the contact is more consistent and straight.
This would be a good explanation if I also hit my long irons poorly. But I actually hit my 3-4 irons well-straight and long. I shank the hell out of my 5-6 irons, and sometimes my 7 iron. And then I hit my 8-PW very well. If my swing was messed up across the board, which is the explanation provided in the video, it would be even more obvious with my 3-4 irons. But there doesn’t seem to be a problem with those. I guess I’ll keep searching.
