IMPACT POSITION DRILLS TO NAIL YOUR IRONS

Full Translation  

 Hey everybody Danny Maude here thanks for joining us this week I've got a question for you have you ever found yourself out on that golf course and you're feeling a little bit lost the ball is going over two miles to left or it's slicing over to the right oh maybe your ball strike is just not there you're kind of striking the ground behind the golf ball and thinning it and you just don't know what to do right you have no feeling of what the hell is going on well this was a case for a recent client of mine John come to see me pretty much ready to give up the game he has no idea why his balls are going mouser left and why at the same time they're also then sometimes slicing over to the right now he was falling into two major problems he was body was literally to opening up way too soon through the impact area here and secondly he was getting this very weak connection through impact he was literally getting this flicking at the wrists we need to get you more ahead here to get somewhat get some more compression and we need to look after how we're gonna stop this tosser working well this week's training we're going to show you exactly how we did that with John and to get him hitting much much straighter and more importantly also getting that lovely sound with a great ball striking too before we get into the training though if you are new to a channel and this is one of your first videos please consider subscribing I released videos just like this one every single week to try and help you improve your game so what was John doing so John was hitting these greatly pulls big slices and he he wasn't making it wasn't like he saw the contact at all and he was falling into two traps first thing his impact position was very much like this okay so very flicky we call it right when the wrist starts to get a little bit cupped here through the impact area it's very it's a very weak position to get into any if you look at any slow moves of the top players they're very much if anything the wrist is the other way around it's almost like bowed so it kind of gets a bit like this way and that's kind of how they compress in the golf ball they're almost d loft in the club through the impact area that's the first thing the second thing John was doing was he was opening up his torso way too early through the impact area here and that was causing him to drag the ball to left but also cut across the golf ball producing weak shot and not very far and drift up to the right so he needed to do again a lot top players doing good players to do is you need to keep that tosser much squarer through the impact test he doesn't want to rotate now problem it is how do you go about doing those things how do you keep those hands ahead and how do you keep the tosser from actually opening up very very straightforward with a bit of practice okay so all you want all I want to do here is this I want to take your golf I just got a 7-iron here and we're gonna start with just maybe shots at around about 70 to 80 yards no no more maybe even a bit less and what I want you to do is this I want you to first of all get the sensation just swing back to maybe about here and then what I want to is this I want to drive the handle this way ahead so it's going forward right the second thing I want to do here is this I want I don't want you to feel like the total club is then driving into the ground so you almost feel like you're gonna stick this bit of the club here the toe into the ground so it's two things you're trying to do you're gonna try and get the handle going forward is this wrong of course it's overdone but then what we're going to do is we're going to stick the toe of the club into the ground here watch what this does this does a couple of things look at it from this angle John's getting here and he opens up his chest right that causes him here to then flick the club down through impact he's causing the two two issues when you start to drive the handle just feel like you're gonna drive the handle this way for a second right just as a drill it's wrong yeah Brits that's the feeling you try and let look what happens to the lead shoulder the lead shoulder now starts to go much much higher through the impact area at this stage I want you to then practice turning the toe of the club down right so that you get to things it changes the whole line of your swing coming down from this position here you'll now get the sensation of the least shoulder coming up and then turning the toe starts to get that firing of the club so it's not wooden right because you don't want to just kind of do this like a cricket drive now the reality situation is this do you really want to have this position through impact of course you don't sway too much but we're just generating a feeling you know the the best players in the world and the good players they realize that they have to exaggerate motions in order just to achieve the tiniest change in their golf swing so let's have a look at this in action so I'm gonna make a swing I'm gonna feel the lead hand dig going ahead here this hanging behind and then I'm gonna gonna turn the toe of the club into the ground so we're trying at the toe digging some turf out okay so it looks a little iets back and fire I can really feel my tar turning over there and look at the sound beautiful sound ball turf contact at the same time at no stage will you see me doing this okay that just gets the handle dragging across here bringing those poles bringing those slices and also eventually creating very much weak style shot so right so nice is simple we're gonna get self set swing to here initially Drive that handle way forward and then turn the toe the club so the toes and try and hit the ground first okay I'm gonna look at this slowly back

and through lean to beautiful drawers fantastic and it is as simple as that start very very small with it all these things here is this do we want our hands to be this far ahead of course we don't I don't want you to have the hands that far ahead I actually want you to have them in a sense around about here but if you can feel like it's here then suddenly there from this position here you're going to naturally get that sensation of this lead coming through the shoulders coming up and not by the way opening that's what I'd to do initially to start off with yes I'm practicing it and get a feel hit a few shots and build it up very gradually and you'll start to get some absolute beauties let's have a look at this how we build this up now into the main swing so we're swinging it back I'm gonna get I'll do a rehearsal drive that forward here fire the toe and several exits drive and fire the toe and that's getting a little bit bigger and there we go okay so in summary what have we done very very straightforward John came to me only half-hour session he came through for him so very simple all in what was doing he was opening up the chest too soon his face is wide open he was getting sweet contact we need to achieve a compress strike through the impact area and what we need to do is you don't want this torso what over-over worked when you get yourself a set here by literally imagining that the handle is driving this way just for a second here the shoulder this issue does this isn't gonna go rotate is it right if it rotated it would do this it's our new feeling drive it here and then from the toe then imagine you're gonna stick the toe into the dirt and drive the handle forward stick the toe into the dirt and it would start to reduce this Martian dramatically alright hope you enjoyed the training if you did remember to give a thumbs up and maybe share it with a fellow slicer or somebody who's struggling to strike their iron some of you'll asked will it work with driver it will indeed the only thing you change with a driver is you hit upwards on the driver so you're not literally try to stick the toe in the dirt you'll it literally in a sense to do the same thing but you've got to remember you're going to hit more this way but that is pretty much it of course if this is one of the first videos that he enjoyed anyone will receive more videos next week make sure you press the subscribe button and the bell but until next week have a great golfing with you
