Why Do All My Golf Clubs Go The Same Distance

[@ericgaston1733]

Thanks doc! Been having trouble hitting my irons all 120

[@fitzygolfpro]

Just work on releasing a bit earlier and you should see a difference between clubs. Brian

[@robertcourt8593]

How did I miss this video? This has been my problem for ages. Actually found out and been working on it for a little while and it makes such a massive difference.

[@fitzygolfpro]

I'm glad you found it Robert. If you don't want to miss a video Brian the best way to be notified is to join my newsletter www.thegolfdoctor.com.au That way you will be notified of every video I release. I am glad it has helped you. You are right it does make such a difference.

[@JCGlock87]

This is a great video and explanation! I've noticed how much more penetrating my shots are when I release or even actively release the club. Such an important part of the swing. Thank you!

[@fitzygolfpro]

Glad it was helpful! Brian

[@kennymay9036]

Had this problem for about 3 wks,2 yrs ago.mayb 20yds between 9 and 4 irons.Eventually traced it to sciatica keeping me from fully turning thru impact.Quitting for good was an option,loosening up b4 round saved it.cheers.

[@fitzygolfpro]

I am glad you enjoyed it Kenny. I am glad your sciatica has improved and you are able to keep playing. I have a client that suffers the same thing. It is caused by poor posture (for him). As soon as he feels it it triggers a posture improvement and he is all good again. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@nubbydigger6920]

Dealing with same exact problem from sciatica. Lost 20 yards per club at least. Hopefully will get better someday.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Sorry to hear that. I hope you find a way to improve it. I have had a few clients improve by seeing a good physiotherapist. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@michaelscales5996]

Great video,I am a golfer who only hits a 5 iron a bit further than my 7 iron. This explains why,just once in a while, I hit a career best and the ball sails 30 yards further than expected,usually through the green.It also explains the "chicken wing" I have at finish. Thanks a lot for this tip..

I am glad the video was of help to you Michael. If the club face releases through impact all sorts of good stuff happens. Thanks for watching. Brian

This is me exactly! I'm working on relaxing my wrists and letting it release. This video is great @fitzygolfpro

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thank you. I don’t know much about drumming but I am sure you would need to grip the drumsticks securely but not tight to give you the freedom to move in various ways. The golf grip is very similar. You are on the right track. Thanks for watching. Brian

PS I still enjoy the game which is mainly on the range even though I am struggling a bit with walking long distances! KR John, near Brighton UK

Welcome back to golf John. I am glad you have got back and still enjoy the game. I'm not sure if you have them over there but we have some small courses called pitch and putt. Mostly Par 3's. If you could find one of those in your area you might enjoy the experience. Brian

[@bobadkins7377]

I have watched hundreds of golf game improvement videos. I am so glad I happened across this one this morning. Truly I thought that I was the only person who had this problem and no later than yesterday, at our range, I was having this problem and I’ve had it a long time. Hoping to try the release work very soon perhaps today. This is the only vid I’ve seen that addresses this problem. Thank you for posting, subscribed.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thank you for letting me know Bob. I am really glad you found it helpful. I will take your word for the fact no one else has made a similar video. I haven't watched other KZbin Golf coaches for years because I did not want to copy them unknowingly. I like to make videos on the things I see often as a full time golf coach and that is where the idea came from with this video. I see it a lot. Thank you for subscribing and watching my content. Brian

[@chadrosin5878]

This literally changed my ball flight 100%. I took lessons last winter and was told to have a strong grip and now my lead wrist. Helped my slice, but all my irons went about 110-120 tops. Just went to practice were I hit to a fence that’s about 100 yards away. Took out by five iron, which I can never hit. I rolled my wrists on the way back and through with a more neutral grip. It was probably thirty yards above that fence! No idea on the distance but it was by far the longest 5 iron I’ve ever it. Total game changer! You may have saved my game! Not exaggerating.

[@fitzygolfpro]

That is such a good result Chad. I am so pleased for you. I'm glad the video has helped you regain your enjoyment of the game . Thanks for letting me know. Brian

THANK YOU! I have recently restarted trying to play. I played a bit as a teen and young adult (I'm 67 now).

I really like your style of presentation, BTW.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Welcome back to the game. I am glad you have found it. Watching all of your balls go similar distances with different clubs can be very frustrating. The video will help you understand why and point you in the right direction for fixing it. Thank you for your nice comments about my video.

I am now into my 38th year as a golf professional Jerry. I shudder everyone I hear the word system or method. One size does not fit all in golf. Thank you for your nice comments.

[@mikegrimes5688]

Good video Brian, when I practice with short swings I can get the release working quite well, when I try with fuller swings the blocking returns. Should I be aiming to increase the back swing gradually during practice?

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thanks Mike. That is pretty normal. The idea is you would slowly build up both sides over time. If you want me to take a look ask if I'm around when you are next at the range. Brian

[@maralvor]

Terrific! Thanks very much for this. I know there are various causes but presumably releasing late can cause unmentionable shots as well?

[@BasJon]

A great tip here, I am going too say for the past few months I have so been trying to change my shot from a fade to a draw, I have been getting there from changing my swing path but also I have been taking away my club on the back swing and keeping it closed, what I have noticed since the change at the range like on 20 percent of my shots are a clean contact the other 80 percent feel horrible and vibrate through the club any tips for me please, sub added :)

[@fitzygolfpro]

I don't recommend people change their shot shape as most of this is set in our DNA and our motor patterns are set. Certainly learn to hit hooks so you can escape from trouble when you need it. My advice is stick to the fade. Having given over 35,000 golf lessons I have seen only a handful of people successfully change from hitting a fade to a draw. That is not great odds. If you choose to continue on your journey in search of your draw...... Look at things like ball position, low point control in your swing and your angle of attack. The following video might help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaKlgauFadSoZ8k

[@seancunningham4462]

would this also explain why i can only hit my driver 200 yards with slice now? completely lost my golf swing after covid and can’t get it back… i’m hoping this will help me

[@fitzygolfpro]

Hi Sean. This would go a long way to answering that problem. Your club face is staying square to your target and not the path after impact. I explain it in the following video. I use an iron in this example but the concept is the same with a driver. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWe6eKV5edmIr6c Let me know how it goes. Brian

[@theindooroutdoorsman]

I've noticed my 5 wood, 5 and 6 iron go about the same. My 7, 8, 9, PW and GW all have different distances. My gap is for 90-100 yards, pitching is 100-110, 9 is 115-125, 8 130-140 and 7 145-1555/160. But 5 wood, 5 and 6 iron all go about 170 unless I hit off a tee.

[@fitzygolfpro]

The good news is you now know why. Just work on releasing the club and there should be more distances between clubs. It should be around 7meters or 8 yards. Thanks for watching. BriN

[@ferdibook]

Great advice Brian. I have the exact same problem and thanks for making the video. The explanation was accurate and I will go to the driving range and practice now. I hit between 125-150 yards with a 3, 5 or 7 irons. I subscribed and would love to learn more from you. Ferd from Canada.

[@ferdibook]

fitzygolfpro so went over the range and realized my setup was all wrong. Swinging and shifting weight like a baseball swing. Sternum was off centred of ball and my club at impact was open. Video taped myself in slow mo to validate my mistakes. My swing for 3,5,7 is pretty much the same approach and dynamic loft is the same regardless of what iron I used. Will review the videos you got. Yes, pay a visit in the summer. Lots of outdoors stuff to do and people are friendly.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thanks for the update Ferd. Just keep working on releasing the club through impact and you will Be fine. The distances between clubs should increase. Brian

OK well this kinda makes logical sense, why are there so many vids out there telling everyone not to under any circumstance open or fan the club in the takeaway ? without doing that this move would be impossible would it not ? club surely has to open some for the rotation to happen.

[@fitzygolfpro]

I am glad you enjoyed the video and it helped you in your understanding of the problem. You ask a good question about why so many people make videos on not allowing the club face to rotate (on both sides of the swing), I can;t answer that and to be honest I don't watch any other KZbin coaching videos.
