NEVER top a WOOD again - Testing the Tips

[@seb1989]

Definitely some S&T concepts here. Always find that take out sway can make the swing so easier

[@Mattfryergolf]

Glad the lesson helped Andy 👍 thanks for trying it

[@bobmansfield1226]

Your sincerity and honesty makes your videos so watchable. No bullshit just as you see it.Thanks

[@dougierobertson2099]

This is brilliant, I’ve watched an earlier one you did without realising the idea behind them. But now you have to do more please. Danny and Matt are two I always go to for tips, Chris Ryan and Steve Johnston are excellent too. This series could see you through the winter.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Glad I explained this one better, really does work Dougie

[@bobreidy8665]

Great vidio, Everthing old is new again. When I had my very first series of lessons 55 years ago Billy Kay-Smith told me NOT to concentrate on the ball but to focus on a spot 2 inches in front of the ball that way you will hit down at impact.

[@fredlist7091]

Good video Andy. There are SO many golf tips out there that one becomes somewhat overwhelmed with the information. It's odd, but seeing you try these things out (in this case successfully) somehow reassures me that it would help my game and imprints it more firmly in memory so that I'll actually practice it at the range. Thanks!

[@jackrauert8829]

Andy, enjoy this new content (tips). Even I can only buy so many new clubs so getting some help sorting through all the pro tips on line is very helpful.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Seems to be popular content so glad you are enjoying

Great tip and video , adopting this you where striking so much better and could hear the difference in the strike to

[@TheAverageGolfer]

It was really a big change tbh

[@DavidHarris-pp5yq]

Great tip and explanation. Woods off the fairway my weakness but getting better now with gaming a Cobra 3 Wood with the baffler rails helping confidence. Cant wait to try this out. Thanks

Great video! Keep them coming!

[@briantreadwell2206]

Really enjoying this series which pays tribute to the best coaches on KZbin . . . . more importantly. . . you tell us the tips that work . . . I’ve tried two so far and they really do, looking forward to applying this one to my training

[@justinstephenson9360]

Really enjoying this series. The tip works, I got to the same position in a slightly different way. With both irons and fairway woods I focus on a spot which is about 2" ahead of the ball rather than focusing on the ball.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Really impressed by the tip and yes really works

[@acemakerjay]

Matt's awesome. Keep them coming Andy.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thanks! Will do!

[@glennpalmer4672]

Andy, love the new tips, I do watch Matt fryers tips and they are great, I love the way you show them as an average golfer, very helpful.

[@robertarthur2482]

Keep them coming, fantastic . Thanks to Matt also, some boy.

[@mikepugh2806]

I enjoy these “Test the Tips” videos! Keep them coming. Like your other videos, you summarize the points well and I like the backup with launch monitor data.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Appreciated

[@roger130]

Ace tip! Mike Newton pga has a very similar tip. You look at the front of the ball, NOT the back. Instant pure strikes. Best tip ever!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Great tip isnt it!

Thanks, for the tip Andy, Matt & his dad are excellent Coaches👍

These strike tips brilliant as 8 handicapper good to focus on .....

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@philr1924]

Very nice, well explained. I began doing this a few weeks ago when I got a new 3w and love it! I'm not clear on whether or not to take a (small) divot in front of the ball.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

I took a divot occasionally and had zero impact on the result, still seemed to work fine

[@philr1924]

@@TheAverageGolfer I've had a little bit of challenge taking large divots on fairways that have been over watered (common in the summer). Likely will need a little adjustment.

[@alvermeil5884]

I really enjoy these tips. All these things will help us average golfers. Chuck Cook taught me many years ago. I think this drill originated with Harvey Penick

[@ZeebNinja]

thank you for this tip!!!.. it makes perfect sense to put more weigh on the lead leg to move the bottom of the stroke forward.

[@heywhotsgoinon8286]

Did the 2 pence behind the ball tip at the driving range with my irons a couple of days ago. Hey presto, better strike and more distance.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Really pleased to read this

[@jackcreeber1511]

Great video, nice to see how the tips are used by someone than the PGA

Cheers Jack

Love these test the tips vlogs.

[@David1131955]

Very interesting Andy.

[@markwoodward1716]

Great vid! Although almost the same concept (or at least the end state goal) as the avoid the coin drill, that one did not work for me. However this concept did, with both my woods and irons. Amazing how the way our bodies perceive the execution of a swing vary!

[@makakaiv]

Great tip I’ve gotta add that to my practice routine

[@jeffbates5401]

Andy great video. Love the content. Keep them coming

[@markk171]

I have been trying this with just my irons. Its so weird feeling...I have the same sensations as you...moving the body ahead of the ball. The only way I feel I can do this is to on the down swing I "feel" as is I have to shift my body out in front of the ball. Feels VERY strange. Thanks...love these videos!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

You are right any change feels alien but its nice to see immediate results and makes you want to practice the drill even more

[@markk171]

@@TheAverageGolfer I almost "feel" I am lunging at the ball...but it sure does get you off you back foot! Thanks...come to the states some day... play some course here in western Washington state...pints on me! :)

[@wrighty1957]

Ill try this tomorrow with my 3 wood and 5 wood ,been topping 5 wood, just recently bought ping g425 wood as well

[@motodiaries8204]

i have worked hard to move my low point forward, particularly with my irons and have found it really awkward. It disrupts my swing to a tremendous degree. I get a lower launch, but it doesn't improve either strike or distance and it causes a big loss in descent angle for me. I don't have Track man to measure low point or attack angle so I'm not sure I'm getting this right, but I have settled on a more moderate attack angle and launch to preserve distance and landing angle.

[@Gatorgolfusa]

🐊🏌🇵🇷🦅👍 love it!

[@steveash656]

So just to be completely clear, are you looking at a point in front of the ball at impact, as opposed to looking at the back of the ball? Cheers.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

I would say so yes

[@tom-fp7vi]

great vid

[@rufussthoo4083]

Definitely a common 'weakness' Andy. Probably explains the current trend away from low-lofted fairway woods like 3 woods into 5 and 7 woods and even 2 hybrids. I'll give my 3 wood one last chance trying this tip before finds itself on eBay :)

[@老夏-j6n]

How do I aim at the front of the ball? Does the eye look at the hypothetical target in front of it?

[@markfitzpatrick360]

Even tho they are all your mates tips and channels 🤣🙈, I still love this part of your channel and No one else does this. Spot on AG

[@garydavis8213]

This is THE flaw in my game. It’s amazing that the same negative part of your game plagues you every time out. It really gets in your head. Matt Fryer is a terrific teacher, by the way. So, it’s certainly not Matt’s lessons, it’s my failure to apply those lessons on the course. More work to do!

[@brianmicklich9292]

Wondering if I use the exact tip to hit my long irons it would have the same effect. Seems like it is linked to how you hit a stinger.

[@scatterbrain9490]

I top the 3 wood and have been trying to stay down and through on it without success. I plan on moving the ball back in my stance next time, would that give me a different result than what you talk about in this video, leaning forward? Thx

[@ronmullard5718]

Hi are you based at Foregolf Sealand Chester ?,the reason I ask is that the range and area look familiar. I've been using this range myself along with my grandson.

[@mickhowes5485]

how about taking a piece of blackboard chalk and mark the range mat 2 inches in front of the ball and try to rub it out with the club?

Andy: Never top a wood again Me: and I took that personally 🤣
