Hi .thanks to you both i have really made a difference to my swing. Played golf all my life from a junior without a lesson. Stopped playing for a good few years and couldn't hit a barn door with a stick been trying to learn the game with a different attitude. Watched hundreds of KZbin videos. To pick up a few tips. Once I got rid of my pride .I have started to enjoy my golf again, you 2 are by far the best teachers that I have seen. Great work thaks

OMG! You made this just for me! I’ve worked on each of these problems individually, but the results were disastrous on the course, so I went back to where Liam started.

[@tomsyn]

This is a great breakdown and hats off to Liam doing the video! I think this is a great drill, really great. What I tend to do is from here have an almost consistent over draw/pull. I feel I over rotate my shoulders but it's still inconsistent. If I try do finish like Tommy Fleetwood suggested like hands stop half way thru release it tends to fix itself :/

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Thomas. Liam did great! It will be a huge help for hi. over the next few weeks. Hope it helps you.

[@joshmazurek3651]

Not sure if you guys will see this, but I really struggle with my low-mid irons (4,5,6). I just seem to get too much height when I make good contact and have absolutely no distance and I tend to slice it as well. I don’t really make divots but from what I can tell I scraping the grass after the ball and I’m really lost on what else I can try. Love the video and I love you what you guys do!

[@cplittl]

Watched so many videos about ball compression, now I feel like I’m transferring my weight so much that I’m straight pulling to the left constantly! The grind continues..

[@meandmygolf.]

This will be a club face issue more than likely Clayton.

[@cplittl]

@@meandmygolf. time for some more videos then; thank you!

[@granthodges9860]

Very useful tips guys, so frustrating to knock a decent ball down the fairway with driver only to stuff up the second shot with iron. I think this is a definite must do practice drill for me 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@meandmygolf.]

Totally agree Grant. Get your ball striking sorted and it's so much better!

[@graham5271]

[@psprogs3029]

Great video, liams back swing is great, I'm jealous as I'm struggling with being well behind plain on the back swing

[@meandmygolf.]

Yeh he swings it awesome. Downswing is key for him now!

[@jamiesloan7259]

This is literally the difference in me shooting 71, or 84. My iron strike for the day determines EVERYTHING. I drive the ball well, and also chip n putt pretty consistently. It’s soooo frustrating to pipe my drives all day, only to fat, or thin a wedge, or short iron on my approach. However, on my good days, I take divots AFTER the ball. Like I say…. The rest of my game is solid, but some days I feel like a beginner with my irons. lol I’ve got to get this down, if I wanna play consistent golf. Period!

[@RV-14A-N721RomeoVictor]

Exactly the same for me.

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes Jamie. This is probably the most important part of the game to get nailed. Hope this was useful!

[@Sam-tx1tn]

Same!

[@haznick]

Exactly what I've been working on recently. Concentrating on transferring my weight onto my left foot as early as possible and left hip moving, as I get to the top of my backswing. That moves my low point forwards and helps with strikes.

[@meandmygolf.]

Hope it's working for you Nick!?

[@haznick]

@@meandmygolf. With my irons it certainly helps. Less so with the hybrids or 3W.

[@davidpaulin8865]

Very good video. I find that i can over do it and my head moves too far forward and then end up with a block. Any thoughts as to how to move forward and keep the head behind the ball?

[@BrianEvo12]

Great video. I've started staring at the ground in front of the ball instead of the ball. It helps me swing thru the ball and almost forces me to shift my weight forward.

[@meandmygolf.]

Great Brian. Just remember to let the eyes and head follow the ball early! This helps weight shift and rotation.

[@edsapp1008]

Excellent instructions, really illuminating. Doesn’t the shaft plane play a role as well?

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Ed. Yes it can do but now so much for Liam here.

[@bubbajones1035]

My issues are proper ball placement for each iron. Could you show something like that. Starting from a wedge all the way to a 4 iron.

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

It's impossible for me to break 80 the way I'm hitting my irons. I'm always hitting behind the ball and casting. Plus my distance sucks.

[@ecjaye]

So that's how I use my alignment sticks! Time to take some divots tomorrow.

[@meandmygolf.]

Great little drill for you Eric. Hope it helps.

[@ecjaye]

@@meandmygolf. thx guys, I always enjoy your videos!

[@jacobwheeler9330]

I'm experiencing a weird situation with my iron swing where the club face is coming back through impact about half an inch higher than it started in the back swing resulting in a lot of thins and no divots.

[@mattdavis4765]

Over the top for sure. I think my issue is sequence and start my downswing with arms, but damn if I can fix it. A good shot is a tight little fade but the bad ones are a big fade or a pull. A two way miss is not ideal!

[@mattdavis4765]

Another interesting thing to see would be differences between hitting off grass and mats. Likely have a similar issue to this video but I can very consistently hit irons off of mats or in a SIM, but strike falls apart on grass. Must be ground first and the mats just hide it better.

[@meandmygolf.]

Check your club face Matt first! We also have a brand new FIX YOUR SLICE program coming out soon which will 100% help! Keep your eyes peeled!

[@philmillership4252]

What about if you cannot practise on grass with the line and divot check ??

[@KeesCheese72]

I NEVER get my weight shifted toward my lead foot in the downswing with Any of my clubs. James Leitz told me I’m a true “Reverse Weight Shifter” after a lesson with him. It’s Really Bad with my D and FW’s. Can the technique in this video work with those clubs, except for hitting the ground in front of the white line? If not then how would you modify to work with D and FW’s? Thanks 🙏!

[@themusketeer9458]

I am still new, and i always think i got the swing down, but some new part of my body does something weird and i dont know whats happening, and the current thing i noticef is my right arm is not straight on impact. It is bent at the elbow all the way till 45° after impact, then it straightens out. Is that a problem? My lead arm is straight all the way, and i have good impact and length, but my right arm is for some reason bent. Wish i could post a photo, but yeah.. is that a problem?

[@roynorrish4799]

Really struggle with consistency. One week I'll play really well, the next will be rubbish. Hopefully this video helps

[@justinwagner7018]

My biggest problem is that I take too big of a divot. No matter what I do with my irons I dive into the ground so much. What drills do you do for that?

[@rossbelbin6841]

Really struggling with hooking or overly drawing irons and wedges, any tips ?

Nice video with excellent instruction. Please have the fitter look at this gentleman’s irons, the loft appears very upright.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Brent!

[@tommiehl677]

I understand the concept. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I am unable to get to the lead side. I have watched a multitude of videos on weight shift but when I try to do it, I notice my weight on the back foot, especially with the driver. Do you have any triggers to get me to do this? If you do, it would be a miracle. I am nearly 75 years of age and my handicap is 13. Good luck to you and me.

[@Thepippinator2]

The thing I’ve been working on is trying to get a better P6 (shaft parallel) position before impact. Getting the butt of my club in front of my right leg at P6. It’s unbelievably hard and I’ve hit a brick wall. If anyone has any tips or have also experienced this issue, I’m all ears!

[@meandmygolf.]

Hi Michael. This is really tough to do and things need to be in a good place intense back swing to do it. Why are you trying to get to this point is a key question?

[@paulsmith1084]

Hi lads love your videos but as this video highlights to me your helping a fairly competent golfer you never get a 20 handicapper like me or higher to help

[@jonnyk9392]

I generally have a good strike with a divot after ball but I notice that my club face is facing up to the sky at the top of the back swing. Not sure what I need to do to have a better path

[@meandmygolf.]

As long as it's not hooking lots then that's ok. It's ok for DJ.

[@mustangs07083]

I’ve been working with the divot board recently and noticed 2 things. Don’t get me wrong I do sometimes hit the ground after the ball. But I noticed I hot behind the ball more than anything, but sometimes I don’t even hit the ground at all. I just swing the club and have no impact, just swinging in the air. It sure why I do that.

Focus on rotation rather than not swaying. Also video your swing if you can. You can use our new app to draw the lines on to help.

[@leegibbs1577]

I strike the ball and follow through with my weight on my lead toes / balls of foot and it throws my balance off. I'm working on this by lifting my toes during my golf swing, but it isn't translating yet.

[@meandmygolf.]

Make sure the weight is in the middle at set up. It may be due to your swing plane too so it's worth checking that.

[@timothyliberatore3730]

My struggle now is my ball is starting left of target and drawing away from it. I'm thinking Club face could be too closed at impact or I'm standing too close to the ball.

[@michaelhill2933]

For the life of me I can't figure out side tilt through impact, my head goes up and away like a split second before impact and I can't keep my right shoulder down and it causes me to release early to get back to the ball. Causing fat shots mostly

[@meandmygolf.]

You might be doing this to square the face or correct the swing plane. There is always a reason, you just have to find the cause first.

[@nickreimer8269]

I struggle with consistency. Every few rounds I feel uncomfortable standing over the ball. I try to keep my setup consistent but it doesn't always feel that way

[@TheChiropracticTable]

It’s all about routine building. First get your grip so it’s the same. Then go to the range and set up a T station that will help you aim. Walk from behind the ball to your to station set up and take your grip. Just keep repeating that.

[@TheStallion234]

Question for the KZbin-verse out there. Whenever I focus on closing the hands on the downswing, I find myself topping the ball often. Is it simply that I’m lifting the body and just need to focus on keeping down on it, is this a common thing?

[@meandmygolf.]

It can be a common thing yes. You need to focus on hitting the ground still and turning the body with this move.

[@johnnyblaze9206]

I struggle with a pull. I know I use my shoulders too much to start the downswing but I can’t stop doing it.

[@slowlyrusting4044]

I also feel that I use my shoulders "too much." I had a golf lesson yesterday and it turns out that my shoulders are working just fine. The issue is that I try to hit the ball straight down the target line which ends up "pulled" because of my shoulder turn. I was instructed to hit the ball towards right field (a baseball term) while executing the same shoulder motion. No more "pulled" shots.
