Cheers for the Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my best friend Jordan got cool results with it.
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "how do you draw an iron in golf?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (search on google ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got amazing success with it.
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "what causes open clubface at impact?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a good exclusive product for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
I'd be happy to have a good-hearted debate about the right way to teach golf. I'll open the discussion with "there isn't one right way". Try to help people get better, don't try to make money.
I’m very new to golf - I’ve been struggling to hit the ball correctly with an iron and this video helped me hit a perfect 5 iron shot today to make my first ever birdie! Super grateful for this man
Why don't we teach 5 year olds grip? Just hit the ball. Your subconscious won't let you fall, just hit the ball. Most swings are built by what you don't want - the monster slice comes from aiming left and getting mad at slices. If you want to get better think about the physics. Just. Hit. The. Ball. Learning to hit a golf ball is alot like learning an instrument. It takes practice. Bad habits await, Pros will sell you short-cuts. Just go hit the ball. Once you have a consistent strike we can talk about shape and launch and turn and lag and impact angle. Learn what the face feels like, then ask for refinement. The golfsmith "I want to swing like Adam Scott" method is insane unless you're 26, flexible, and athletic. Most people are none of those things. Your method seems more muscle-memory, Ledbetter style. That works for one specific player. He sells insurance, plays 300 rounds a year, and hates his wife. He will never be a plus. He can get to about a 2 on the only course he plays. Don't teach that guy. Teach someone that wants to learn, not just to practice. It's an instrument. Learn, don't just practice.
i am 32 and have been on one golf course. since the masters, I've picked up my left handed clubs which I salvaged from the garbage, and have been hitting the ball in the field across the road. this man has been a true voice in my head, i hear his guidance while I'm executing out on the pitch. thank you so much for opening me to the technical aspect of this interesting game, and also thank you for helping me learn something new, which - at this age - is always a true source of joy!
Hi Adam, I have been playing golf for 11 years now, and you are the first instructor that has explained in a concise and clear manner how a swing should be and how one should go about hitting the ball (Driver and or Iron). I started watching your videos 2 months ago and I was a 19 handicap, I am now on 15 and hitting the ball cleaner and with greater confidence....thanks so much for making the game more enjoyable for me.....cheers
Nice video content! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good exclusive guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cooworker at last got great success with it.
I’ve literally watched close to 10 hours combined of iron tips, your comparison of just hitting it like a mallet literally changed everything for me. Consistently hitting my irons now and it actually feels good, present feeling very awkward to hit. Thank you!
I know this video is five years old, but I just started playing and I have to say the simplicity of explaining how to hit the ball , as well as using auxiliary tools (i.e. hammer) to visualize, it really helps remember the technique when in golf course. Very practical in your teaching approach, and very helpful! Thanks for great vids!
I am a totally beginner and your lesson is so simple and clear to understand even I'm not an native speaker. Much better than other pro's lectures. Thanks!
As a new golfer, I was not totally aware of the loft until seeing your video instruction. Brilliant information on the hold position of the down swing. I found it's so helpful for the beginner as myself. Cheers!
Just watched this ahain after probably the worst day with my iron yesterday. Decided I needed to get back to basics. Went out today with a 7 iron and some balls and watched your video. The first few shots I hit went about 20 feet but then I started bringing it back farther and increasing my speed and man what a difference. Looking forward to getting out in a few days. Im turning 60 in a few days so I dont expect to hit really long but think my consistency will improve greatly. Thank you. Thank you Thank you!
Such great advice.... start on a small scale. Works for beginners and also for golfers who may have lost their way slightly (like me). If I hit a bad shot at the range, my automatic response used to be to try and hit the ball harder. Before you know it, I’m shanking everything. Now, if I hit a couple of bad ones, I dial it back. Hit 5-10 half swings and get that compression feeling back. Really really sound advice. Love the mallet idea too. Thanks so much for these videos, Adam.
Ridiculously good information. Im a beginner and applied this info today along with a couple more videos from this channel and it definitely works. The club does it all
I really appreciate how actionable this video is. Too many videos start talking about imaginary lines and angles and this one talks about what you can to do start to FEEL what a good hit is.
Even as an advanced player I find these beginners videos really helpful and refreshing sometimes, as I get too much routine in my strokes, it is really refreshing to just get back to the basics. Really good videos that you're making for all these years, sir! god bless you
This is the iron video I accidentally came across recently. Now, I'm more confident on the green and I have a love for 5-Iron. I can hit the ball 145 yards on a good swing and at least keep the ball flight straight on other swings. Keep the videos coming!
Wow, you're a fantastic teacher...this is the first fundamental of golf, and you explained it so nicely! Every beginner should watch this. I started golfing 4 years and it wasn't until I learned this concept, that I began to really understand golf. Blessings to you Adam for sharing your gift.
Hey Ken would you mind sending me a private message I have something to ask you? Go to the about page for my channel and click on "message". See this screenshot: screencast.com/t/GZ4mxmINyggr Thanks!
This was so helpful!! In the space of 20 minutes, I went from barely hitting the ball with my irons, to making contact so much more consistently, and I hit a 9 iron within 10 feet!! (Now the putting needs the work 😄). All this from only watching half of the video, thanks again!!
Almost 2 years later and I am seeing this video for the first time and I'm loving it! I have pure striking issues with my irons but after watching this I am confident in fixing my game and shaving off strokes. Thank you!
Thank you, Im still trying to get good and your video is helpful! It’s very intimidating going with a group of a family member who is good friends with a pga pro. They’re so good. But I’m learning, man. And I’m so excited to keep going! Thank you, Adam
Hi Adam, As a beginner it is a frustrating period with swinging actions and bringing everything into play. I just wanted to say whenever I feel "muddled" your videos are my go to point to reset my swings. Thank you for the brilliant content and keep them coming!
I’ve invested in 1 of these SwingGydes to help with the swing wrist action, It helps:) I have found I can hit the ball more with my Irons than my Driver, keep practicing London,UK
So I’ve definitely noticed in the last week GREAT improvements:) well happy!!! I go about 4-5 times a week to the driving range before work, good thing is I have the golf course LITERALLY opposite my flat!!! I can hit the ball FAR and 80% of the time straight now BOTH with my irons and Driver but my issue at the moment mainly with my driver is slicing the ball and it goes way off to the right!!!! I can get it going straight on most hits Just keep practicing!!!! Definitely noticing MUCH progress
Thank you for the advice I haven’t gone golfing since I was 7 or 8 when my grandpa use to take me . Now that I’m 22 I went to the golf range to practice but I keep hitting the ball to the right but this video refresh my memory a lot
Worked like a charm. Watched this video before I went and played 9 today, I struggled a little at first but by the 4th or 5th hole I was striping my irons. Thank you for this
Hey Adam, just started golfing a couple weeks ago. I really needed some help with my irons, thanks for the advice! Will be tuning for many more of your videos!
you've completely turned my game around ...I can hear you talking to me on the course..found your vids and the next day every one was complementing on my game and asked me what I was doing so differently ...thanks bazz :)
Many thanksAdam ! I started playing golf at the age of 61, and have been having problems with my irons.I am 81 now and NOBODY told me about what I was doing wrong.......you just nailed it ,thanks again
Just played my first round after finding your instruction videos. My irons have always been horrible. But today, after watching a few iron vids, they improved drastically. Thank you sir, for the great information. I'm a 30 handicap. I expect to be a 20 by the time this winter hits. All credit to you.
Thank you so very much. I bought new clubs back in 2008 but through the years got away from golfing. Your videos are very helpful getting Golf rolling again. Thank You.
Once again Adam you have helped me with the mallet technique ..whenever I slide into lazy technique , fluffing etc I think of this drill .and its instantly cured can hit long and straight because of your drills ..cheers from Sydney Australia.
This video really helped me with my conception of the golf swing (with irons). So obvious but somehow it was not clear before. Thank you for passing on this wisdom.
This is an amazing video for helping me as a beginner understand the concept of hitting a golf ball with irons. Love the mallet and your comment re: designer's job is to get the ball in the air
Thanks for this simple yet so helpful explanation. I gave up golf because I did not understand the principles of making good iron strikes......getting back into the game now...
Thank you Adam. I've been having a lot of trouble with this, and this video definitely has helped me. I always have a fear when I address the ball that the club is going to hit the ground first and take out a bunch of grass and the ball is not going to go anywhere. I think this causes me to overthink it.
I am watching from Thailand. Love the way you explain so simple and clear. My problem is quite chronic and annoying me so much is the right arms pulling the down swing like it is the trail arm. I have been trying so hard but cannot do so well. Any suggestion for the novice like me?
I’d suggest some shots off a tee (with a short iron) at half speed. It likely would give you a chance to workout the feel you’re looking for Thanks, Adam
Best advice I've been given is: - if your driving, aim behind the ball. - if your using irons, aim in front of the ball. Prior to this I always just tried to smack the ball.
Today is the first time I tried these technics with my irons and I have to say after the first flub shot, my iron play was excellent. I had 3 birdie attempts on 2 par 3s and 1 par 4. I missed them all but for me to get 3 pars in a round is exceptional. I only played 9 holes. The downside is my drivers were all over the place so need that video next. lol
Scratch Golf Academy thanks. I am learning a lot from your videos. The concept of taking a small divot past the ball seemed strange until I noticed no mishits and everything went toward the flag. Very rare for me.
I played a lot when I was a kid never could hit a driver well but always had good irons. I stopped playing for a while because I took baseball more seriously in middle and high school and that also consumed my summers I’m now done playing baseball and me and some of my buddies from high school have been playing a lot of golf I played about 15 rounds this summer which is more than I had since I was 13. I really lost the feel for my irons and that is what kept pissing me off as I started to play more go to the range more I was able to figure it out a bit. This helped thanks
Thank you so much; this helped me a lot. I got my grandpa's old confidence irons; they are Tour Plus editions. Some people call them blades, and they say since I just started golfing this month, I should get more forgiving irons. But I love the feel of the clubs and honestly, they are my GP's and they shined up really nicely, so I am partial to them. But I don't want to handicap myself with them. Do you think they hurt my game?
Terrific way of showing how to use an iron. Thanks Adam i am going for a hit soon and i will put your advice into practice. I will let you know how i go.
Great video I'm a new golfer. not been on a golf course yet, just got my left handed clubs( I am right handed but swing better on my left side) . I think they are like 5th handed down, but they seem to be really nice for what I paid. What I like about your video is I don't see HUGE wholes in the green. I dislike that a lot. I will be watching this video again and again, and using a camera to watch what I do. Thanks for the lesson.
Thank you so much! I’m probably the worst golfer around. I watched this tutorial, forgot everything I’ve ever learned and only practiced this. My first nine hole par 3 I got 2 birdies, and 2 par. My over all score was 3 over par. Thanks again.
I don’t have a mallet , but I tried with my cheap putter and i saw my errors right away. In a couple of minutes I started hitting clean. Thank you sir.
Any videos of COMPLETE golf swing ? From grip , how and when to cock wrist in back swing and when and how to release hands in down swing ? Does every club require to point at your belt buckle? Iam a new player who was hitting consistently with a baseball grip and instinctual swing . Since people have changed my grip and where my club should be and how to get a longer backswing I can hit the ball at all and when I do it cuts left . Can't seem to go back to the way I did before and can't find any help on RUclips
+River Wilde Thanks for the comment. At the risk of being pushy, I offer complete in depth video courses at my home site of www.scratchgolfacademy.com I agree that although there is a lot of good content on RUclips it's hard to find more than pieces of info here and there. If you sign up for the website I hope you'll like it. All the best, Adam
Thanks very much, I'm glad you are finding them helpful!If it's of interest I will be offering full video courses in each aspect of the game soon at www.scratchgolfacademy.com Best, Adam
Hey I’m a beginner (17) and I make consistent clean contact but my swing is extremely stiff (I keep my wrists and my arms as stiff as possible to keep my swing return in the same path as it was in backswing. Is this an issue? And if so, what can I do to improve it? Thanks, Tyler
Tyler, Stiffness, especially in the wrists, reduces club head speed. You'd need to make some smooth swings and soften things up, there is trail and error involved. Best, Adam

That mallet idea is great. I should have used that as my go- to club.I probably would have enjoyed my golf more in years gone by.
Hope you see some good progress!

Hard to comment without seeing you swing, but I'd try to establish solid contact on a small scale first, maybe 50 yard shots.

Glad to hear you are back at the game, and that the video was helpful to you.
All the best, Adam
Thank you Adam. I've been having a lot of trouble with this, and this video definitely has helped me. I always have a fear when I address the ball that the club is going to hit the ground first and take out a bunch of grass and the ball is not going to go anywhere. I think this causes me to overthink it.
Thanks, I'm glad this cleared it up a bit for you.
Best, Adam
Muchas gracias Mr Adam this game is so addictive and you are a lifesaver 👍🏼
Thanks Harold, glad you found the video helpful.

I am watching from Thailand. Love the way you explain so simple and clear. My problem is quite chronic and annoying me so much is the right arms pulling the down swing like it is the trail arm. I have been trying so hard but cannot do so well. Any suggestion for the novice like me?
I’d suggest some shots off a tee (with a short iron) at half speed. It likely would give you a chance to workout the feel you’re looking for
Thanks, Adam
This really helped me, thank you!
Glad to hear it Brandon

Thank you Adam, these videos have been a huge help. I’ve never had these fundamentals explained in this way to me but now it clicks. Much appreciated!
Glad you are making progress.
All the best, Adam
Thanks 4 the video very helpful . This mam just took my chopping chunks of fairway or rough. Ty
Thanks Michael,
Hope you make good progress.
Best, Adam
Best advice I've been given is:
- if your driving, aim behind the ball.
- if your using irons, aim in front of the ball.
Prior to this I always just tried to smack the ball.
Thanks for the comment Rocco
Best, Adam
As a new beginner to the sport struggling abit with irons but your videos as a god send really enjoying them
Glad to hear it Tony. Glad you have taken up the game, and best wishes for continued progress.
Adam
I've been playing golf for 10 years.....this video has helped a lot
Glad to hear it Tyson.
All the best, Adam
Today is the first time I tried these technics with my irons and I have to say after the first flub shot, my iron play was excellent. I had 3 birdie attempts on 2 par 3s and 1 par 4. I missed them all but for me to get 3 pars in a round is exceptional. I only played 9 holes. The downside is my drivers were all over the place so need that video next. lol
Thanks, and glad to hear of your progress
Best, Adam
Scratch Golf Academy thanks. I am learning a lot from your videos. The concept of taking a small divot past the ball seemed strange until I noticed no mishits and everything went toward the flag. Very rare for me.
I have a question, may sounds stupid. But what is the difference between lower and higher number irons? When should I use them?
Doyle,
The lower the number the less lofted the club is (5 less lofted that 8, for instance), and the farther and lower the ball travels.
Best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy so further from the green the lower I should use, correct?
Correct
I played a lot when I was a kid never could hit a driver well but always had good irons. I stopped playing for a while because I took baseball more seriously in middle and high school and that also consumed my summers I’m now done playing baseball and me and some of my buddies from high school have been playing a lot of golf I played about 15 rounds this summer which is more than I had since I was 13. I really lost the feel for my irons and that is what kept pissing me off as I started to play more go to the range more I was able to figure it out a bit. This helped thanks
Thanks JD, hope you make good progress
thank you so much i was doing great on my irons but then i was doing trash and this helped me improve my score by so much thank you!!!!
Thanks Jack, glad to hear it.
Best, Adam
Love the words choice..Thanks
Thanks Catherine.
All the best, Adam
Thank you so much; this helped me a lot. I got my grandpa's old confidence irons; they are Tour Plus editions. Some people call them blades, and they say since I just started golfing this month, I should get more forgiving irons. But I love the feel of the clubs and honestly, they are my GP's and they shined up really nicely, so I am partial to them. But I don't want to handicap myself with them. Do you think they hurt my game?
Chris,
Id go to a club fitter with launch monitor, see how they perform against newer clubs
Used this technique on the range, worked wonders, I just hope I can take it forward to the course.
I hope it goes well for you Shaun, hang in there.
Thanks, Adam
I’ve had many tips and lessons but this was the most helpful and was free
Glad you liked the video.
Best, Adam
Terrific way of showing how to use an iron. Thanks Adam i am going for a hit soon and i will put your advice into practice. I will let you know how i go.
Best of luck Tony!
Thanks, Adam
Great video I'm a new golfer. not been on a golf course yet, just got my left handed clubs( I am right handed but swing better on my left side) . I think they are like 5th handed down, but they seem to be really nice for what I paid.
What I like about your video is I don't see HUGE wholes in the green. I dislike that a lot. I will be watching this video again and again, and using a camera to watch what I do. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks David, hope you keep improving.
Best, Adam
Thank you so much! I’m probably the worst golfer around. I watched this tutorial, forgot everything I’ve ever learned and only practiced this. My first nine hole par 3 I got 2 birdies, and 2 par. My over all score was 3 over par. Thanks again.
Nice going, I hope you can keep the progress up.
All the best, Adam
Great video! Love it

Any videos of COMPLETE golf swing ? From grip , how and when to cock wrist in back swing and when and how to release hands in down swing ? Does every club require to point at your belt buckle? Iam a new player who was hitting consistently with a baseball grip and instinctual swing . Since people have changed my grip and where my club should be and how to get a longer backswing I can hit the ball at all and when I do it cuts left . Can't seem to go back to the way I did before and can't find any help on RUclips
+River Wilde
Thanks for the comment. At the risk of being pushy, I offer complete in depth video courses at my home site of www.scratchgolfacademy.com
I agree that although there is a lot of good content on RUclips it's hard to find more than pieces of info here and there. If you sign up for the website I hope you'll like it.
All the best, Adam

Hey I’m a beginner (17) and I make consistent clean contact but my swing is extremely stiff (I keep my wrists and my arms as stiff as possible to keep my swing return in the same path as it was in backswing. Is this an issue? And if so, what can I do to improve it? Thanks, Tyler
Tyler,
Stiffness, especially in the wrists, reduces club head speed. You'd need to make some smooth swings and soften things up, there is trail and error involved.
Best, Adam
Great video great channel
thanks very much Mustafa.
