Driver Swing vs Iron Swing (huge difference)

Click Here: bit.ly/3Jkc2AT for my 3-part full-swing training series that will help you create power and consistency by simplifying your golf swing. And the best part? It's completely free!
In today’s video we answer one of the most common questions I get from students… what is the difference between how I should swing the driver and how I should swing my irons?
First we'll discuss the differences in your set up and ball position, which are largely dictated by the length and lie angle of the club.
But the most important difference between your driver and iron swing is your angle of attack and where the bottom of your swing is.
For your driver swing, you want to hit the ball with an ascending blow. To accomplish this you want the low point of your swing to come before the ball.
For your iron swing, you want to hit the ball with a descending blow... and to accomplish this you want the low point of your swing to come after the ball.
I'll explain the difference and then give you a simple drill to help you smash your irons and get lots of compression... while at the same time launching your drives high in the air for maximum carry.

This is probably the best video I have ever seen showing the difference in the iron and driver swing.

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Thanks for that

Super brief lesson describing the difference between hitting a driver versus an iron. You organize and present well. Thanks.

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheBing153]

Super progression of lessons! Thanks Zach! Cheers, Mike

[@erniecarey2125]

Very well explain and super helpful.

[@garrymajor7528]

Thanks Zack great explanation,more of an arm swing than a body turn,is this what Mac taught you in the early days .

[@haroldsingh7713]

Absolutely great a lesson Zach.. good job!

[@user-qm4si7tn7l]

Awesome Coach. Your teaching has helped me be a better Golfer. Thank you.

[@TrojanMars1]

Thanks for focusing on said subtle details and the differences therein! 👍🏽

[@ZachAllenGolf]

You bet!

[@mwalker1354]

Thanks Zach. I bought your program and it's changed everything for me. I used to be lost after taking a few weeks away from the game but now, give or take a short or two I can pick up where I left off! It's changed everything for me. These additional videos also help reinforce everything I've learned. Cheers, Mw

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Glad that it’s helped you find your way.

[@user-dc1qy4ns9o]

Zach: you have a nice informative method to instruct. Very educational. Thank you !

[@ZachAllenGolf]

My pleasure!

[@higbyprigby9648]

I’ve driven down a couple of hours to see Zach. He’s absolutely phenomenal. No BS. Pinpoints very quickly and the results don’t fade. If you keep your mouth shut, you’ll probably finish in 15 minutes. Voila!

[@sbongardt]

Nice, Zach! Using your lessons (and others) and finally after decades feeling like I am starting to figure out the "release" I vaguely was heading down this path. Finally a great explanation to a question I have had for a long time - cant wait to try this on the range.

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Great to hear!

[@jmb176]

Helpful tips. Did not realize there was such a difference in the release points. Will work on your suggestions . Thanks, Zach. Great instruction.

[@ZachAllenGolf]

You bet!

[@georgebowman1220]

As always you are the greatest !

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Thanks again!

[@dennishammer8537]

Great explanation on the subtle differences. Glad I found this video. Will definitely be trying it at my next range session. 👍

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lorraineknight4326]

Ok thanks will give it a go 👍

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Hope you enjoy

[@kerrylaidlaw3409]

Great visuals Zach! My driver trajectory is too flat so I'll try this out. Thanks!

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Good to put something flat on the ground like in the video. Should help with your trajectory.

[@aname3829]

@@ZachAllenGolf Just tested it on the course today and it worked. What I noticed was staying behind the ball longer and not worrying about hitting the ball so much.

[@marksellergren9055]

Zach, an interesting question I will put to you: From Tony Manzoni's book, bottom of page 6, he states that Ben Hogan said, on the backswing, at the top, he has already shifted his weight to his left side. That is contrary to some theories, maybe the predominant theory, that we shift (for RH golfer) to the right side, then coming down, shift to the left side. Ben Hogan, not in Five Lessons, but in a letter, says shift to the left side first..not to the right. What do you think?

[@ZachAllenGolf]

I remember a quote from hogan saying I hit my driver from my right leg, and my irons from my left leg. Probably more of a feel than real.

[@factual6591]

Cool !

[@CalumAnder]

I've started hitting my irons well with a big emphasis on holding my angles. This unfortunately has transferred and killed my driver game I'll try your tips to get it shallower and releasing earlier. Have you any tips on forward spine tilt with driver v irons? Should I feel slightly taller with a driver?

[@rcravy7298]

How do some players like Jack, Tiger, and Rory hit high long irons. Is it strength or technic? Thanks Ray

[@georgebowman1220]

Hey Zack, thanks to you when I am at the driving range results are 90 % perfect , on the real playing field it as if I never played before, ?? Should I hit myself in the face with the driver or 3 wood?

[@dfrugt]

Almost like using a bounce and where you put it level to chest for a sweep, way behind here, or under with a cut-swing in sand or flop, or divot in front with an iron. Secondary face contact on the ball. Hip rotation to target side just leads the gradual connected unhinging...bang!

[@ZachAllenGolf]

Definitely some similarities to short game shots and changing the bottom, or altering trajectories.

[@dfrugt]

Thanks. I don't manage many manipulations of any kind during the process very well, sticking with connected pre-sets, arc bottom, traj., spin, etc., at perpendicular around a stable rotating Spine Angle. The tighter, the better, for me. Where a divot ends seems as important as where it starts...

[@OnTheSnap1]

A late weight transfer is a major power leak for me. There must be a better approach that’s more in line with maximizing ground forces.

[@kidkash63]

You said the same exact thing in the beginning! Not opposite. FYI!
