If Your Irons Aren't Consistent, This is Why!

[@BigDGolf-23]

I fixed my swing in my yard using one of your drills from a prior vid. Just by watching the club head release. I could use irons and a driver with about 70% accuracy. Compared to before about 20%. I'll keto trying and see how much it improves.

Great stuff guys. Been working on this as my early extension causes me to have to flip my hands and release the club earlier to compensate.

[@meandmygolf.]

Make sure the club face is ok in the back swing too!

[@boblim8336]

Great video, thanks. Been really trying to work on reducing early extension this year. Thanks for the tips

[@meandmygolf.]

Hope they help Bob!

Thanks for this video! Constantly told by my golf buddies that I’m standing up on the down swing, couldn’t figure out the issues, but I think it’s poor set up! Too much of a squat position rather than hips over ankles.

[@meandmygolf.]

That definitely could be it Liz. Hope it helps.

[@atsai5815]

Hello, great video. Does the drill having your backside to the wall and your heels a club head away apply to driver as well or only irons?

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes definitely.

[@tootie101000]

Excellent video - love it. Just got to do it now!

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Tootie!!

[@aussiegolfer2919]

Great video guys , I have this problem and nearly always hit my irons out of the heel because of this . Thanks

[@meandmygolf.]

Get that posture checked first before anything!!

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

finally bought new clubs today. Went and did a proper fitting. Ended up that the cheapest irons set out of what I was choosing between was the ones I liked the best and I was trying to like the more expensive ones more but the stats didnt lie. Went from a regular to stiff shaft and nearly got a hole on one during the fitting hahaha. went with tour edge e723.

[@meandmygolf.]

Great to hear!!

[@royclose946]

Well done guys hope you're both well 👏 😊

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Roy. Appreciate all your support my friend!

[@simonward4072]

Was always taught your right hip doenst come forwards to meet your left on the down swing. Your left goes back to meet your right.

[@tonys8448]

And then it leaves you more space on the downswing

[@meandmygolf.]

Good way of thinking about it Simon. 👍🏻

[@JadeJeftha-t9u]

Amazing stuff...👌 That is a trigger I will start being mindful of... Thanks bruh.

[@cdnim2358]

Another great video cheers guys 😊

[@meandmygolf.]

You're welcome. Hope it was useful.

[@JadeJeftha-t9u]

My feel to encourage staying down and prevent early extension is to think from the ground up. Once I get into my right hip in back swing my weight is in my trail foot' heel. Once there I transition my weight into lead side automatically swaying the left hip back without even thinking about it. I found that swaying the lead hip in the downswing disrupts my sequence. I would encourage golfers to work on their footwork and start understanding their swing relative to that... Prevent the problem rather than cure the symptom.

[@DuesGibGolfandLife]

the Elvis leg.... didnt realise I was doing it till I finally videoed myself. Crazy... I do it on every shot.

[@stoneymoore463]

Would this cause iron shots to be pushed out to the right as a right handed golfer? Happens a lot where I’ll be aiming middle of green or left of the green and without slicing it, the ball ends up way right.

[@meandmygolf.]

It could do yes. I would focus more on the club path and face though first to see what is going on.

[@danielmosias6280]

Another excellent video. 👍 So I've got to imagine that my heel is on an egg sandwedge 😋😁

[@meandmygolf.]

Great. Hope it helps.

[@christophersherratt7299]

I was watching your video from Florida you seemed to be pushing all weight on left foot that will knacker your ankle in as you swing through on rotation as right foot goes up to the ball you should be twisting with left foot on the ball rise left heel to twist on follow through i hope you get it 😅😅

[@mattmm24]

This is such an informative video. The deeper hip turn on the backswing is transformational. Thanks for continuing to be the best golf instructors on KZbin 🙌

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Matt. Glad you enjoyed this! Appreciate your support.

[@fewery19]

Can early extension cause issues like the dreaded shanks etc as been playing well but all of a sudden I’m suffering with the dreaded S word 😩

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes this can be definitely due to that. Or you might be standing too close to the ball also.

[@hasseygolf]

Is this 'early extension'... or 'losing spine angle'?....

[@cameronbaydock5712]

Yes

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes pretty much.

[@simmo5071]

Piers first time you’ve worn ugly shoes.

[@meandmygolf.]

😂😂

[@Holtii14]

No drill ever fixes this 😂

[@meandmygolf.]

The few we have here make a big difference. the body plays a huge role in this thought too!

[@Holtii14]

@@meandmygolf. il try my hips don’t function properly in the swing and never have I’ve just played with it but time to fully sort it out
