Whenever I drive into the ball like this drill teaches you how to do, I end up shanking it.
which shot goes further, hitting down on a shot or picking it off the ground?
Looking for any of your videos that have to do with delofting the golf ball. Have this problem with both my irons and driver. I am not scooping the ball, my ball position is good, and I also am coming through with my shot. Clearly the head of my clubs is aiming up upon impact for some reason. Luckily I generate quite a bit of momentum and speed to hit the ball somewhat far to compensate for the loss of distance…however this leads to quite a bit of ball movement while in the air which is very frustrating.
New to golf I'm comfortable driving the ball but for the life of me I can't get irons really very well off the floor
Would this work for hybrids as well??
Great Drill works a treat thanks alot 🙂
This is best golf channel! Lots of help for my struggles! TY
Is there a different technique with, for example; a 3 wood off the deck? Or do you strike upwards or level?
I wish I would have seen this years ago.
I practiced your drill last week and match the best game I've ever played.A 92.Here comes the 80's which is my goal.thanks Kevin.I'm 62 and playing for 3 years.
Wow! That went fur!
Does this apply to wedge shots or strictly mid to high irons?
I have to try this! My Iron-shots are going higher than they're going far – and I absolutely can't hit a straight Wood, so Irons are all I got 🙂
this is a simple but very effective tip , thankyou
i only watched this video this morning and when i played later on i put a mark in the turf with my tee then moved it back 4 inches and then took your advice , i won nearest the pin and also got the birdie , not bad for a 24 handicapper , soon to be much lower i think , thx again
you talk too much instead of going to actual demo . Boring lesson.
Thanks Pierce, I assume this will help with distance as I struggle with too much loft and am losing a lot of distance.
Hope your flight home was okay
I've had a difficult time hitting my approach irons consistently over the last couple of days. After watching your video on the 3 things that great golfers do, I realized that hitting irons thin is not good. I'm excited about working on this. Thank you so much.
thx,going to try it
Tried your tip of placing a tee inches in front if the ball before striking today. What a difference! Cheers
Mate beautiful swing. Just started golf been playing for about a year (playing off a 6) and this channel is going to bring me down 😀 keep it up… is there anyway to donate to you guys?
Absolutely awesome video, improved my fairway woods, irons, virtually my whole game :):)
Thanks very much…. all made perfect sense
Would like be to try this. The video on dynamic loft has already improved my pitching manyfolds!
Thanks a lot!!
nice video, would this also apply to hybrids, I have found myself all of a sudden sweeping the golfball.
Great video, my question is what if you're hitting off a tee?? Do u still strike down? If so, how does the ball compress when it's a quarter inch up?
Hí Piers!Will try it today, tell Y tomorrow how it workt out for me! // Johnny
I'm looking forward to trying this the next time I am at the range. Hitting behind the ball is one of my many struggles.
This is amazing I have lowered my handicap by 6 shots because of watching this video!!!!
I have the same problem with sex. It's remarkable how often I end up in her pooper.
I just finished reading these golf swing secrets “Jοmtοnο Naha” (Google it) last week before going out and putting the exercises to the test. I never imagined that after playing for 3 decades, my swinging ability can still be improved. The drills have helped with small details I had never paid much attention to.
nothing like hitting a pure iron shot and having that ball stick on the green from 150+ yards out. Better than sex.
This drill is the best drill & it gives me the results I want. I've been using it for three years. I can play whole rounds like this. If you want to hit down at the ball and if you want to avoid "chunking, chili dipping, hitting it fat", this is the drill for you. I do this on the course also, but I don't use a tee; I just focus on a spot four inches in front of the ball. This works.
Would I not be more inclined to top the ball?
Hitting in the simulator today with my 8 iron I tried focusing a few inches in front of the ball and found I was getting better distance and consistency .I came home and googled this method and stumbled onto this video.I try it again next time I am hitting balls but so far so good.
Piers, I the bottom of my swing hip it's the bal and it travels 150 7iron, but I cannot get low enough yo make a divot. How can I make myself get lower on the golf swing? Thanks.
This has been killing me recently. Drives, chips, and putting but no mid-iron game has kept me from breaking 80. Thanks!
Helpful video, would like to see more hits than just one though
tee just tee stop say tee peg what is wrong with European tee pegs
Where's Andy? No Matching outfits? lol Cheers.
NOT GREAT. I used to hit it too fat, now doing this I don't hit any ball or I just top it. Seems like there's a huge hole in the instruction.
This guide introduced me Golf swing classes. They utilize essential information such as your arm length, height, shoulder width, and club length to make a model perfect for you. Through the lessons in the tutorial, I am able to reduce my handicap to 15 from 22 in one year. You can research this book on Google. They call it Logan Ballοyshot
good
