Sat in front of this video I just tried the start of my typical 7 or 8 iron swing. You are right - my first move with the hands is towards the screen. I'm turning my shoulders and body before I drop the club into the downswing. Before this video I've tried closing the stance right, weakening the grip, and leaving the club open at address all in attempts to stop this miss way left that creeps into a pressure shot to the green. So now I'll reset all my tweaks back to normal and try out this hands first drill. Thanks you for this observation.
Per usual Coach, loving the vid! I’m just glad they’re all online so we can always come back to this! This has been creeping into my swing so I need to give this drill a go!!!
This is undoubtedly the best advice I’ve received for this type of miss. Super clear synopsis with a fix that works! Keep up the great work, thank you. 😊
@6:03 so so true!. For me I have to feel that the club head was falling lower than the handle at the start of the downswing to get the club to get on plane halfway down. Feel versus real is a real thing
Thankyou Thankyou!!! I have been struggling terribly with pulls and pullhooks because of hand path, getting steep etc etc. Been doing these drills in the garage and can’t wait to hit a few in the studio at my golf course tomorrow!
Ironically had a lesson today, and my Pro said exactly the same thing, once i applied the altered hand position on the downswing, not only did i stop pulling, but my strike improved.
Some absolutely great videos recently, the bottle drill has really helped and the hit the ball before the ball video has revolutionised my ball striking. Wonderful content, many thanks.
I had a moment at the range the other night I was pulling every iron left.. I start to try and throw my club to my right - around 20 degrees through impact. This worked. Watching this video just realised why thank you 🎉
Pure quality coach, that's my iron striking to a tee, (pardon the pun🤔👍!) No matter how much I try to aim more right, I still drag my 6 & 7 iron shots especially, off to the left..🤔🤦🏽♂️? Straight down to the range tomorrow and try this out.., thanks👍👏👏!!
Tried this last night. Incredible how much just this simple swing though fixed everything! Went from swinging barely I-O or even O-I to 4 or 5 degrees I-O. Got the tight little draws back. Just brilliant sir. Thanks so much.
Coach because I’m 66 and seem like I hit all my irons from the same distance 150 on my 6 iron my 9 will go maybe 112 on avg still not getting power do you think I should turn to the stack and tilt method ? Could you maybe explain it further for us older gents
Seen Rosey do that indeed, but if anything it looks like a pump drill, I can see him watch backwards checking if he retains his wrist angle. Or is he checking his path? Never thought of that
What a strange comment. Do you think he would have invented a completely new drill? Golf has been around for a long time and most drills have been invented many years ago. What he is doing is highlighting the cause of a pull and he’s trying to help players who suffer from this. As for your comment? Well, nothing new my friend! 😉

Glad it was helpful!
Watching with interest. You're speaking to my most common miss.
Great video, that’s my miss and if I also have closed face, the dreaded pull hook happens. Keep up these informative videos.

You got this!

This is what I've been struggling with. Tks. My journey went from big slice to 10yrd draws. This looks promising. Off to the sim tomorrow.
Had massive pull last round, tried this and it is gold, thanks coach!👍
Great discussion and tip! Thank you! Left is my miss. This will help.
HEY COACH...it works...if i combine all your latest tips, thank you. I gained a lot of speed by slowing down on downswing.....less efford more speed.
Coach Lockey!!! The man, the myth, the Legend!!
Some absolutely great videos recently, the bottle drill has really helped and the hit the ball before the ball video has revolutionised my ball striking. Wonderful content, many thanks.
Glad to help
This one is saved to my playlist for sure. Almost range time for us in the NE . Thanks coach
Excellent!

Good stuff 👍

I am going to do this drill at home daily. This makes sense as to my left pull. Thanks coach!
You bet!
Really helpful advice, I will try this on my next visit to the range.
Have fun!
Magic Coach, just magic. This fault had crept into my game and sure enough hand path for me was causing the issue. Drilling this one tonight!

Coach you rock man this even helped with my wicked slice.

Now I understand. Many thanks Coach😂
Still the most frustrating part of the golf swing, but I have to keep trying this. Thanks Coach...
You’re welcome. Hope you can crack it 👍
Great tip Coach!! Cheers
Glad you liked it!
Gold absolute gold

Thanks so much!!!!
You're welcome!
Great stuff coach😊
Great video ,I pull my driver to the left is that the same swing fault you are talking about with irons .All the best from Australia
Great advice coach, does this work with driver, as that is my miss at the moment, keep them coming mate.
Yep and this will ….
ruclips.net/video/wRao4dszJy8/видео.htmlsi=vipEMkFXTUSiOqw1
does this make sense.. I pull if I don't complete my backswing (left shoulder under chin)
The pull has always been an issue for me. Not sure why but my pulls go a long way...now if I just knew how to hit the pull when I want it.
Thanks coach, nicely explained . Do you have weight on the feet 60/40 favouring the front foot?
At what point?
At the start of your swing.
That’s my miss. Will try this at the range tomorrow. Thanks 👍
No problem 👍 let me know how it goes
from 1 to 10, what pressure do you apply on your grip? is this the same for iron ans driver? merci 🤙🏻🤙🏻
You swing driver faster which means you need more grip strength on the grip to slow the club down. Faster you go, harder you need to hold.
Really clear video, so much better than Mark C 😂
Nice. It's the equivalent movement to a lagging takeaway but upside down when your hands are up in the air. Clear as mud? :-)
If I hit my irons the correct distance, I miss to the left. Otherwise, they are high, straight, and 20 yards short.
Same for the driver ?
Yes and check this …. ruclips.net/video/wRao4dszJy8/видео.htmlsi=2DXGCy4AQB05Bd2S
👍
Fortunately thats one problem I don't have in my swing 😂
guys... just aim to the right lol
Nothing new... My friend...
