The Golf Swing Is SO MUCH EASIER When You Know This | How To Hit Your Irons Pure | ME AND MY GOLF

[@paulk.4261]

Awesome job Andy and Piers, this is one of your BEST instructional videos IMO. This is one of the most important aspects of the golf swing most golfers neglect/clueless about.

[@karlconway1]

I am currently practicing this start of the back swing because I took it away to inside. Such a small thing but I just hit a gross 81 in a round through practicing and concentrating on this take away. I'm a 16 handicap. Something so simple that is so rewarding when it works. Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@meandmygolf.]

Great work Karl. Yes this can make a huge difference!!

[@randyclark1221]

I like the new videos using normal golfers (Sean and James) and showing us their swings and fixes. Great instruction. Keep it up, Piers and Andy.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Randy. Lots more of these to come.

[@natoyle]

Your tips to close the club face slightly pulling the iron back and rotate the hips in conjunction has massively helped my swing. Thank you

[@Phatglove]

Love this video! One tip I was given to shallow that downswing is to think of baseball (I know you guys are English) and for a righty, hit line drives between first and second. For a Lefty hit line drives at the shortstop. It’s worked well for me and others trying to turn fades/slices to draws/hooks.

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes that can certainly work!

[@brendan859]

This makes so much sense, great simple thought

[@joyjeev]

I had a very similar issue and I've worked around it to get the feel right but I still do that cupping at the top of the backswing which puts the club and my hands off sync on the downswing. Would love a video to help with that. Thanks for everything guys!

[@jennovices9141]

this is exactly what I am working on at the moment, trying to get the clubface pointing more towards the ground at takeaway, well the past couple of months really, it's a difficult to drill thats for sure, I beleive i'm getting there ...

[@peterdonnellan]

Great stuff guys! Always enjoy learning for you.

[@shaggygolf4642]

I will try it tomorrow. Thanks

[@danieli.9252]

I had my first lesson ever last week, and my instructor diagnosed me with an over-the-top swing. One of his suggestions was to bring my hands closer to my body as I start the downswing, but it was really difficult for me to understand how to do that correctly.

[@mattrichards3070]

Best video I’ve watched in a while.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Matt!👍

[@mattrichards3070]

@@meandmygolf. honestly it was a bit of a lightbulb moment for my iron striking 👍🏼

[@stephenmcalea9860]

Hi guys, great video. What does he have to do with the arms and body to prevent him from hitting the aiming stick on the downswing. Does he have to supinate his wrists etc?

[@darrith9434]

When you get the takeaway right, the chances that the rest of the swing is successful is maximized. Great video, thank you.

[@meandmygolf.]

It's definitely so much easier when you start right!

[@martinthewarrior226]

I've had the same problem, It was "fixed" due to "throttle down" as driving a motorcycle with my right hand. (i'm a left handed golfer) My wrist was bend all the time. During the back swing i have to remember throttle down, which level my wrist as it should. One down, more to go. Thanks for all your vids, there are extremely helpful.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Martin, great to hear we have been able to help you👍

[@ianlippiatt1163]

This is the exact same swing as mine! Great video guys. But can I say that the thing really helping me with it is keeping hands in front of chest for 3/4 of my backswing. Have you guys got a video on that?

[@sshinobu5901]

Solid guys! Going to take this to my next range practice..

[@meandmygolf.]

Thank you, hope it helps!👍

[@jamesmccallum100]

I’ve tried this drill before. It’s definitely tough to come under the stick on the way down after coming over the top all the time. I notice on his downswings, he was still coming over the top of that stick. Takes time to groove the right movement. Great video!

[@JGEyeDoc]

Great video 👍👍fixing the club face so important, I used to be over the top but can now shape shots pretty much to order by concentrating on the first few feet of the takeaway

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes John. Face is so important and most golfers ignore it.👍🏻

[@golffam8078]

I feel his pain. Currently working on the exact same thing. Been engrained in my head for a while. Trying to reprogram. Almost swing thought overload every time I stand over the ball. Will definitely take time to make the moves habit.

[@meandmygolf.]

It takes some time and it's just having clarity and a good focus when practicing.

[@michaelbutler4934]

This is helpful, I just think about how it impacts the tempo of the swing to maintain it.

[@gwilko6452]

Cant wait to try this out when i get back from holiday ⛳

[@meandmygolf.]

Hope it helps!!

[@Mrbuckets84]

Having worked on the backswing I’m trying to concentrate on the downswing at the moment and keeping that wrist angle on. Love these videos to see beginners just like me having the same struggles because it makes you feel like your not the only one struggling sometimes

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad you enjoyed it Chris

[@iir0nside183]

What brands pants are you guys wearing and are they good for golfing in?

[@monsieurzoronov612]

You can really see he feels the difference now he just has to retrain his muscle memory great demonstration of breaking it down one step at a time and allowing yourself to improve. Can’t wait to hit the course tomorrow and try this out

[@ThatdudeAndy]

One thing that really helped me was a straight pullback from the ball in the back swing. Improved my game by a few strokes. Used to lift the club

[@cyhughes462]

I watched one of ur videos on grip where u asked him to move his left thumb more down the right side of the grip. When I tried that I hit it very good but it went way left. Any small tips for me? Thanks for all the lessons, u guys r great!

[@meandmygolf.]

Club face must have been closed at some point. That’s where to look

[@MPerski]

FACE, then PATH! ☝🏻 “Fix the FACE first, ... then work on the PATH” I’m sure everyone watching this video, ... EVERYONE would benefit from this swing change. And making the move in slow motion is the way to ingrain it 👍🏻 That’s what I am going to do! One of the best golf swing videos on KZbin! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@meandmygolf.]

So true!! Face is everything

[@patriotichunter6434]

I love the way you teach. Time to make an American tour and I would buy lessons then take you both for the best BBQ in Texas

[@neild3163]

Would this swing change, partial figure 8 motion, work with hybrids/fairway woods/driver?

[@POTBUNN2]

@meandmygolf does a shift in hips help with the over the top?

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes definitely Josh. That would be the next phase for James.

[@POTBUNN2]

Super just comparing to my swing and this is similar motions to what I went through 6 months ago

[@TheWtowns]

After seeing video of my swing I required a drink, or 2. But...that visual is so important because "the feel is not always real". Heard that somewhere by Pierce and Andy. Have fought getting the clubbed behind my hands forever and the "exaggeration" of the opposite really helped. It "felt" like an exaggeration because my normal swing was so bad.

[@benjeegod]

Tiger says the same feels and reals

[@davidperry2081]

How do you know what angle to set up that alignment stick? Based of what your address is?

[@tribalwarlord]

He is coming down with the strength of his right shoulder, which makes him go over the top. I guess making him pull down with the left arm while rotating his hips to the left will probably fix the over-the-top downswing. You guys have a herculean task ahead of you. All the best. 👍

[@meandmygolf.]

Gotta get the face first. No chance of producing a good move if the face is open.

[@imx152]

The video was great, but everytime piers stepped back and Andy stepped in i had flash backs of Bear Grylls addressing a wild boar he was about to wrestle and harvest... hahaha

[@nicholassmith7048]

Focusing on the club face has made the biggest difference to my swing. I focus on a strong face during the backswing and squaring the face at impact by having my left wrist flat or slightly bowed inwards at impact. I picture hitting the ball with the back of my left hand. If my grip is correct and my lead wrist is flat, I'm going to hit the ball square.

[@shanedeel2]

I can relate to this. I have the left pull swing

[@timothychoquette456]

Could moving the ball up in his stance give him a little more physical space and time to close the club face?

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes definitely. We discussed this with him. 💯 %. Great spot

[@desean3402]

Low cut under the wind 😭🤣🪦

[@gregfahnle7901]

Awesome!

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Over-the-top folks like this guy have such built in muscle memory it’s ungodly difficult to overcome. The more time they spend on the range by themselves and the more years they have golfed the harder it is to break them of their bad habit.

[@tima6156]

James is me and I am James. I struggle with the same issues. Is there any way you could do a follow up video to continue to work with James.

[@MkF3175]

the culprit is the wrist always want to roll inside during the takeaway and backswing hence causing the over the top downswing...try to freeze the wrist as it is with no rolling and concentrate on the rotation of body during the takeaway...i assured you when the takeaway and backswing are correct...the downswing will be automatically fixed..

[@roynorrish4799]

I swear by slowing down the backswing. Worked at treat for me.

[@meandmygolf.]

It definitely helps to improve the movement Roy.

[@roynorrish4799]

@@meandmygolf.keep up the great work, Gents. I wish you all the success you deserve

When will you be uploading the downswing segment? Looking forward to that one!

[@callmecamo2]

His ball position is making my eye twitch a little. Very interesting video.

[@JM-vw3tl]

Nice video guys! However its clear that he is not using his lower body at all, needs to rotate hips around axis in backswing while bending left knee and straightening right leg (don't need to lock right leg). Start downswing with hips turning around not toward target(arms will follow) all while pushing down into the ground with your feet to make use of newtons 3'rd law and create ground force reaction.

[@meandmygolf.]

Thank you! And yes there is definitely a lot more work to do👍

[@sdd1588]

Where can we get your Adidas gear? I like these shirts. Previous episode you both had adidas jackets with a hood.

[@rickdan101]

In this video he is still aiming his swing over the top. I have helped countless friends with there slice by putting a dot on the ball, aiming the dot to the right and telling them to hit the dot. Every one of them on the first swing have hit a draw. It is amazing, everyone. They have to be reminded every time for some reason. J??? But I have seen 30 to 60 yard slices turn in to draws in ONE swing. What do you think guys?

[@vesquivel16]

What iron is he using

[@Bob-nu3xe]

get the club on the inside take away rotate next move is rotate your hips first this get your lower half of your body out of the way then pull the club though the same inside line keep your height through the shot don't rush good tempo gets result's

[@jyuzon]

how'd he end up doing at his match that night?!!!

[@Badfinger4]

My prediction: He had a terrible start trying to implement all this stuff and reverted back to his old swing mid-round. Not wise to have a lesson on the day of a big match!

[@meandmygolf.]

He lost in a playoff hole but hit the ball well.

[@amarko87]

@@meandmygolf. Awesome. Great update

[@Badfinger4]

@@meandmygolf. I stand corrected! I amend my original statement: It's not wise to get a lesson from anyone other than Piers and Andy on the day of a big match.

[@geewilliams2178]

Especially when he is that in consistent. Dispersion and strike is more important surely

[@AS-ww3fe]

Geeeee Williams go and annoy Rick cheese

[@geewilliams2178]

Why? Maybe you didn't see my first comment only seconds before. He said he wanted more distance. I asked why does he want more distance with an iron just take a longer iron!?! But it was about strike and maximizing his distance not really getting more just getting what he should

[@downdog0136]

A great tip from Lee Trevino once told me think of a figure eight on the ground take the club back outward then on the down swing bring club inward and take the club outward on the follow through like a figure eight

[@ddsbyday]

I know it's a lot for one lesson but ball position is so far back it would still be hard to come from the inside.

[@ral147]

How can we come more from the inside?

[@meandmygolf.]

A great pivot motion and a good club face goes a long way.

[@johnjones3228]

it looked like he was aiming at that tree and just coming right across it

[@sammccurtayne7345]

Are you guys pga professionals ?

[@taniwharules415]

thats a lifetimes work,club takeaway inside ,no hip rotation,club crosses over,over the top move,early extension.....hits it thin mostly id guess...

[@part1801]

That was definitely a good place to start but he needs to incorporate a squat and turn vs raising up like he's doing

[@spanishfly026]

i do the same but hit massive draws hahaha

[@corbin6304]

Issue is he is pushing up to attack the ball way too early. He isn't going to get on plane unless he digs down, Also he casts to reach the ball. He needs to do half swings where he keeps his hands infront of the club head to fix the over the top. His impact position is really bad. Not gonna fix the over the top until he fixes impact position.

[@geewilliams2178]

I don't understand wanting more distance with an iron or wedge, instead of grabbing an 8 iron take a 7. No? Driver sure am I wrong

[@meandmygolf.]

I think they key thing is being able to maximise the speed you have with the impact. It is easier hitting an 8 iron that a 6 iron.

[@timothychoquette456]

Yeah, why would someone want to hit a 9iron from 150 out and get all that extra loft, descent angle and spin to land softly on greens , when they could hit a 6 iron with lower launch, less spin and more roll out?

[@pederjensen7288]

why not try and have some live lessons on some good players below 5HCP. Think everytime you have had live lessens it is the standard slice /over the top player

[@meandmygolf.]

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion

the best thing to do with these type of changes is to free your mind! you have to completely ignore how horrible it feels and not care at all where the ball will go while you're doing it. otherwise your tiny brain will think it knows best and try and compensate for your foolishness, determined to get you back on the wrong path!!

His golf fundamental is completely disaster... Both of his arms are disconnected with his body, simply just swing the arms.. during the back swing, shoulder didn't rotate, cocking his wrist very early causing the club behind his body, so the down swing go over top from outside to inside... just arms swing .. NO shoulder and torso rotation... Keep both arms intact with body.. Rotate shoulder and hip at back swing.. start from there..
