Compress Irons Like a PRO With This Weird Simple Technique (Instant Results)

Effortless golf swing to Compress irons and How to hit Hit irons solid with Shaft Lean At Impact.
The Best Way to Compress the Golf Ball
Why practicing thinning the golf ball is how you get better compression
Thin it with a divot.
When most try to compress the ball they try to hit more down and deplete the clubs. The results on fat low shots or a last second compensation to not fat it and to add loft then they thin it.
Instead, thin the golf ball on purpose. If you’ve seen a picture of tigers wear pattern you’ll see it’s very low on the face, most would agree he compressed the ball better than anyone ever has, people say it sounded different when he was hitting, even if you closed you eyes you could tell when tiger was hitting vs anyone else. He could also hit the ball very high.
How can you compress the ball if you hit it high?
Compression happens when you make clean solid contact, it’s not something you should force. When golfers try to compress it they deloft the club, take too much divot and often fat it. Delofting and trying to compress the shot makes you hit too high in the face, it doesn’t give that clean/crisp sound.
The ultimate drill to learn how to compress the ball is to learn to thin the golf shot in purpose and then learn to take a divot while thinning the shot.
Don’t thin it by lifting up through the shot, but thin it by trying to hover your club in the middle of the ball.
Once you’ve learned how to hit a solid thin then try to do the same thing and take a divot just after.
To take a divot after the ball you have to be hitting down, if you try to thin the ball and then take a divot just after it will not be a thin, you will hit low in the face like tiger. The sweet spot on an iron. This will lower the launch, so you may want to try hitting a high thin with a divot. This is where ultimate compression is found.
Start with a wedge or short iron. Then go to a 7 irons
But let's do it with an effortless golf swing and get shaft lean at impact to strike irons solid and improve ball striking. You can get natural shaft lean and learn how to strike irons better without having to rotate the body or force the shaft lean at impact.

Can we all just agree on one basic approach to golf? I can’t seem to find any two KZbin sites that agree on anything. Everyone has their own spin. No wonder our heads are like scrambled eggs!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

A lot of it is same and not many new or silver bullets. Translation and communicating the nuances in different ways. It’s also important to remember that there are 3 key different swing types /planes and no matter what a golfer tries, their anatomy will always win.

[@adamwright9381]

This guy mentioned Tiger. What’s Tigers advice to amateurs? Stay off effn KZbin

[@seymourbutts5277]

​@@adamwright9381 yep, also says no divots, proceeds to show Tiger taking massive divots lol

[@StephenAB23]

​@@adamwright9381 Yet here you are!

[@mikeneuburger3989]

It’s really all just different feels to the same real in the end. If you’re gonna get advice off you tube the best bet is to pick one channel and go with it.

[@kevinjager124]

This is the only channel I subscribe to for Golf tuition. All the others would’ve been four times as long for the same tip.

[@kmier2000]

Oh I love the sound of that. I'm a master at thinning shots. do they go anywhere? No, but they are nice and thin! Preach master!

[@canyoncruzr3462]

Best to think about bottom of your arc forward of the ball after impact first. Ali Taylor has great videos on this too.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

We’ve done that years ago and a couple since

[@jimnewton5904]

Yes it helped and now I am drawing a small divot or a scuff of the ground after hitting the ball

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Well done and keep at it

[@danielcharles4085]

Very interesting approach. My miss is a thin. Now I have hope. Lol

[@JojohnWick]

Thank you, this makes iron play much easier 🎉

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

👍🏌🏽🏆

[@jimnewton5904]

so I am just getting back into too golf, I like the no divot and am getting back to that type of a strike of the ball, I have found the firmer I strike the ball the harder I strike the ball, accelerating through the ball the higher the ball flies, and the better the compression feel the higher the ball flies with no loss in distance... I floated a 9 iron 155 yards and it came to earth coming straight down, is that what I am after or am I hitting the ball too high? I am 70 years old by the way.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

That sounds great to me well done and keep at it sir 💪🏌🏽

[@sliealwhufc]

Would you be able to do a video for those who swing with a weaker / non dominant trail arm please? 🙏

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Yes! This comes up a lot and I friend and fellow golfer has same challenge! There’s a few keys but also depends if you are ambidextrous

[@LowsHand]

Tiger is taking little divots? You made my day.....

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

👍🏌🏽

[@mikerodrick2430]

Woods said that when he's really striping it, whenever that isn't, he doesn't take a divot.

[@canyoncruzr3462]

Yes...I like that hover at setup.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

💪🏌🏽

[@howardchen3456]

I spoke to zalatoris and he said Tiger was messing with Scottie about not taking divots on that commercial shoot😂

[@nasiruddin-zq6ik]

Thanks Allex for this new idea. Sometimes I pull my hand towards left resulting in too much hook. How to avoid the pulling?

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Release the clubhead instead of dragging the butt of handle

[@nasiruddin-zq6ik]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thanks Allex. Do you have any video on that?

[@PSNabs]

There are literally videos of Tiger coming down steep and taking divots with fairway woods. It’s all dependent on the shot you are trying to play. And did this dude just say to try and add loft at impact?!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

For many many golfers especially ones who don’t generate as much speed as they would like these days benefit greatly from this. Most who play golf are not Tiger or generate that speed. Big divots with slower speeds mean less distance. However there is a lot of proof that Tiger mostly took very very shallow if any divots when he struck the ball well.

[@PSNabs]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Fair enough but if you’re after more dynamic loft wouldn’t it be easier to just start with more loft on the club rather than encouraging someone to try and present more loft at impact and bring in a host of habits that are going to potentially produce a weaker ball flight? Tiger is obviously at the extreme end of the spectrum but I think even he plays higher lofts because he presents less at impact with his irons.

[@philippepoiret617]

C'est bien. Il sait le faire.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Merci Mon ami

[@dubs20000]

I duff most of my shots trying to lift the ball.. now I'm going to hit the equator and see. .

[@tompem]

Pure strike at end….dude takes the biggest divot in 7 swings…

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Intention is the point and the key 💪🏌🏽

[@mikerodrick2430]

Woods said that when he's really striping it, he doesn't take a divot.

[@justsomedude8118]

It's so weird, and simple. Thin to win.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

👍🏌🏽

[@mikenolin3102]

Sometimes your better off doing trial and error and figure out what works best for you

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Sometimes indeed.

[@ryajsmit]

I actually cut my iron a lil short to promote this

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

That’s an ok temp solution. But you will adapt eventually

[@andycorso8498]

All these years I’ve been doing it right but worrying about little to no divots

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Keep at it! 👍🏌🏽

[@tommigun102470]

I've been hitting like this for years...I aim for the top of the ball with my irons, not my woods or driver

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Thanks for sharing! 🏌🏽👍

[@streetsoundselectro124]

For someone who flips his hands this may not be the best lesson for me?

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

You may be surprised

[@oceanyt8]

If I think to thin it, i top it... hah

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

You are trying to lift it up I wager.

[@donemigholzjr.7344]

Bla, bla, bla. Compressing an iron shot used to be almost a trick shot that the pros in the late 1970s used to get balata golf balls to back up on the greens. How it became the standard is not only a mystery but it is ridiculous. it is way too difficult to consistently aim this shot at the flag. Yes, it can be done but with huge amounts of practice and pre-golf round warm-up. With Irons, you keep the club face open on a straight path to the flag creating a vortex at the side of the ball as the club releases. Follow through with the classic reverse "C" finishing. Then your golf game becomes about balance, your grip, and going for the cup 165 yards out.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

That is not making it simple to strike irons better which is the goal of this tiny tip

[@donemigholzjr.7344]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf How much simpler can it be than to keep the club face open on a swing plain to the flag? My difficulty is getting the ball in the hole. Your difficulty is hitting the green.

[@mikerodrick2430]

Why do you guys make it so complicated? Be tension free with consistent light grip pressure & let the club swing on its own, assuming you have consistent posture & grip established. Grip pressure is rarely discussed on KZbin but is possibly the most important factor to the quality of the swing. With too much pressure, you'll never swing properly or max out your distance.

[@zaxophne]

Thivot.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

👍🏌🏽

[@JeffPassageCPA]

I have struggled all year with ball striking, compression. I can't hit any iron over 100 yards right now.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

This might help. Not down but through

[@JojohnWick]

Try grip lightly

[@mikerodrick2430]

Watch your grip pressure & tension in your body, especially in the arms & wrists.

[@mikerodrick2430]

The issue for most amateurs is trying to hit the ball rather than swing the club through it. Everyone has a great practice swing but put the ball there & everything changes & this includes myself. Some days I wish I could start fresh as a beginner & not have the faults I've ingrained over the years. I didn't start playing until my early 20s & what was being taught back then is almost nothing like what's taught today.
