The ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE you didn't know!

[@dongarber9731]

This is the first time someone has explained clearly, simply, and comparatively how the swing is adjusted between driver and irons! Very helpful. I have good days either one or the other and scratch my head why. Now I know how to adjust. Thank you!

[@WienGolf]

I’ve been playing golf for about 25 years, but you are the first person who can explain why I sometimes habe wood or iron days! Thanks a lot!

[@coachcarolin]

Glad it is helpful! Make sure you hit the bell button for more tips :)

[@johnz3923]

I've struggled constantly with 'good day irons - bad day driver' and vice versa. So many other instructors focus on club head position in the back swing, rotation, and hinge-unhinge. No doubt important. But I have never had this explained in such a simple manner. Easy to visualize when you are out there to make this simple correction. Thanks Carolin! 👏

[@bwanagoes]

Astounding. Never seen this visual before in any magazine or video instruction. So appreciative. Will work on this because I can see immediately why I have been struggling with my driver. Thanks, Coach!

[@gdsurfer85]

I was for a long time a strong driver but was hit or miss with my irons (particularly 5 -8) until a few weeks ago when I had gotten a foot injury, bruise on the insole of my left foot. I couldn't drive for Smuckers but figuring I have to leave my lead foot planted while playing short was a game changer

[@rayk6449]

I really like the way you explain/show how the hands should be placed

[@dankim333]

I appreciate not doing a second take after hitting the wall on the takeaway :D Thank you for the visual! This has been one of the best channels in getting my golf thoughts/visuals sorted

[@coachcarolin]

You are so welcome!

[@mariad750]

Haha, Golf Hallway! Great content and appreciate the ‘dumb’ down explanations to simplify the cause and effect understanding. Keep it up!

[@mr.tuckers2848]

That makes lots of sense- Thank you for the tip! I've learned to drop my right shoulder at address which also allows me to launch the ball on impact but if your hands are leading and the club head is behind then it will never get launched into the air. For this it makes more sense for iron since you have to dig down and through with the ball. I must have also fixed something as well in my game and I no longer slice anymore (probably the way I grip the club). When I played yesterday, my driver tee-off had low trajectory which I later found out I wasn't teeing my ball high enough. I forgot the rule of teeing your ball halfway up the club height and I think my tees were too short (2 3/4"). But this hallway wall helps us all see from the front perspective since we always like to record our hits on the course from behind which doesn't really show the clear picture and help you address issues. Better get some primer and paint to touch-up those dings and scratches on the wall. =) Another quick question- why do pro players create huge divots after hitting an iron shot? Does creating a divot indicate you are hitting the ball properly or does creating a divot help you impact more spin on your shots?

[@MustafaBaabad]

I was wondering when she is explaing about golf swing inside such a compact room. But when she explained about "impact" then everything makes more sense. Yes impact is the moment of truth where everything count, speed, direction and the position of the club face. Thank you and Cheers from Indonesia.

[@coachcarolin]

Thanks so much for being here all the way from Indonesia! Haha i appreciate it!

This is arguably the best golf learning content you can find on the internet

[@coachcarolin]

Thanks so much 🙏🏻means a lot!

I've never hear or thought of this. I'm going to try this at the range today. You may have just helped me keep it 300 down the fairway vs in the trees. Gawt-Ta-Mighty. 😵

[@joekautz5610]

Excellent hallway instruction. I’m a first time viewer and I really enjoyed it and understood what you were teaching. Thank you

[@martinbarraza7135]

I love the way you explain the difference between driver and irons. Now I can adjust my swing and my hands thanks for the tip.

[@coachcarolin]

Let me know how it goes Martin...

[@JeshuaOurGod]

Brilliant teaching you rock Chick!!!

The golf hallway is such a valuable visual aid. It has helped a lot. Glad the wall wasn't damaged.

[@osiris7800]

Good visualization of the two strokes. I will try to take this into the range as my driver is a little erratic.

[@michaelburke3701]

Love the advice!!!! Im going practice your recommendations!!

[@marnew1000]

Thank you Carolin really good demo 👍🏻

[@coachcarolin]

Glad you like it!

[@alestev24]

For me, it is exactly the other way round. I hit my driver much better than my irons, my best shots come with my 3wood off the fairway, and the clubs with which I struggle most are short irons and wedges. I always think that it has to do with the fact that my first sports were tennis and baseball, so flatter swings come a lot easier to me.

[@lkae4]

One-length iron sets aren't super popular but there's a new trend of one-length shorter irons. Might help. My specs are standard but I play irons and wedges +2 inches for the increased swing weight. My posture and swing plane also improved. I picked up a standard wedge the other day and it felt extremely short and uncomfortable.

[@EfrenVilla-t2k]

Excellent explanation. Thank you

[@coachcarolin]

You are welcome!

[@Hoodlm13b]

This makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing. I'm solid with all other clubs but driver is my box of chocolates. Gives me something to drill. Great vids! I've saved this one to my golf playlist.

[@coachcarolin]

Amazing! Love to hear it !

[@mb4490]

Great explanation. Thank you. 🙏 I have a very hard time hitting my 5 wood and 4 hybrid but no problems with my irons. Driver used to work great but I don’t seem to get the distance as I used to for a couple of years. Strange, once I started hitting my irons well my driver, wood and hybrid have slacked off. Help!

[@abeal5188]

Thanks. Great content. Well presented.

[@greggdipaolo8697]

CC - loved this. easily my biggest prob - way steep on D. With driver swing being so fundamentally different than irons, can you parse the subtle differences in swing thoughts from top of the backswing through release? I think i have the exact same swing thoughts there - yet the swings are so very different . what swing thoughts CHANGE from the top of your backswing thru release driver vs irons. how about some side-by-side bullets - so the subtleties JUMP OUT 😁⛳️

[@josetrujillo685]

Thanks a lot

[@KMC2869]

Very good video - very good explanation of driver head 👍

[@gn7791]

When I ask what the difference of swing driver vs. iron. All reply are the same which is you should do same swing. I noticed they are wrong by finding this video. Appreciate!!!

[@marioz3200]

If your hallways walls could talk back to you!!! Thanks for the clear explanation. Should the club lay more on the heel? 🤣

[@coachcarolin]

No it should be level!

[@rod2418]

Great tips thankyou !

[@coachcarolin]

You're so welcome!

[@anthonygagliardo3706]

[@fabricealcindor7302]

Thanks. I like the idea of not having weight more one Right side than the Iron and keep the same swing. Just, do you have any tip to have the club forward like to scoop the Ball and not hooking it?

[@JustMe-to8te]

Excellent!!!!

[@lenardtan7169]

Great advice lesson tips

[@coachcarolin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lakedog3616]

Been playing for 20 years. NEVER hit both irons and driver well . If I’m hitting my driver well I’m pulling my irons left, if I’m dialed in with my irons I’m hitting a push/slice with my driver. Either day I’m shooting low 80’s , but I sure would like to get to the next level.

[@johncrotti5103]

[@conureron3792]

Good visualization

[@mattsmith817]

For myself, I say I’m better with my irons for one simple reason. My iron swing is easy to duplicate over and over so my shots are more consistent. With my driver it’s extremely hard for me to build the muscle memory to duplicate the swing every shot. The length of the driver and being tall just make more room for error.

[@ifixeditmyself1926]

This was great!

[@KenWeber-b7i]

Love the visuals.. it is now etched in my memory .. perfect when I use my iron or the driver

[@florentmaury1553]

Ok mais alors comment doit on jouer le bois 3 ? Head or hand lead this club ? Merci

[@paulgolfer]

I have been playing over 50 yrs and as I lead with my right side ( i call it right handed ) well I went over on my left ankle sprained it 6 days ago used a buggy on 3 rounds walked 2 but worst was playing a shot , as turning on my left foot was very painful SO WHAT I DID WAS USE TORSO AND ARMS ONLY , YES LOOKED LIKE NOTHING TOLD BUT EVERY DRIVE WAS NOT ONLY DOWN THE CENTRE BUT WITHIN A IF NOT ON CENTRE CUT OF FAIRWAY AND PRETTY LONG , MADE ARMS ACHE NEXT DAY , EVEN on the irons , when you chip its a lot like that , THROUGH ADVERSITY YOU FIND A WAY, if like me you play 5 times a week .

Quibble: Wisdom isn't 'Tips.' Good stuff, thanks. Dou

[@pauldavis469]

Is there another good drill for this that you recommend?

[@franz289]

Coach Carolin, how much spine angle tilt is recommended for driver as opposed to the irons? I do about a 20% tilt on the driver and practically neutral on the irons. Is that too much tilt or too less on both?

[@Chris_Traynor]

Does this mean that what would be classed as a flip with irons is actually perfectly acceptable with a driver? I wonder this because when I FEEL flippy (might not actually be happening) like a bunker splash shot - I hit my driver great!

[@rticle15]

I can outdrive everyone i play with but it will take me five iron strokes to the green. Im horrible at them.

[@VinayDutta-kw5yj]

It's with me too😂 from India

[@adam964]

This sums up the current state of my game. I've been tee'ing off with my 5-wood until I can get it sorted. Will try this, thanks for the tip!

[@RLSMITH341]

The big problem I have is placing the driver behind the ball. How many inches behind the ball?

I am better with woods than irons. So much so I have a 15 wood and a 13 wood!

[@cdunne1620]

When people ask you ‘do I have to shallow my swing with driver’ they probably mean do they have to drop it into the slot at transition which would be a YES answer, not a ‘no you do not’ answer, anyhow

[@bluesky9940]

I’m the opposite. I can hit my driver but can never hit the irons..

[@f.scott.fitzbeagle]

Why hit down on the ball with an iron? Everyone say so, and I do. But why? Doesn't that deloft the club? And the more you hit down, the more you deloft?

[@coachcarolin]

its due to how clubs are built, and also, if you hit down on the irons the correct amount that is taken into consideration in the build as that is how the club performs the best. So only if you hit down it further than standard are you actually delofting it.

[@f.scott.fitzbeagle]

@@coachcarolin Thank you. I enjoy your videos.

[@hammer86_]

With a higher loft, if you sweep the ball, you will hit the ball low on the club face. To hit the ball with the center of the club face you need to hit slightly down. Less so with long irons.

[@f.scott.fitzbeagle]

@@hammer86_ That's a good point. Hogan said, when asked what he was thinking when he hit his famous one iron, "I was thinking of hitting it with the second groove."

[@Shedd22]

What did she say?

[@willsoul007]

Think the average angle of attack on tour with driver is -1.5

[@coachcarolin]

It is on the PGA Tour, it is +3 on the LPGA. It has to do with equipment and swing speed for the PGA Tour players but it does range within a few degrees and also depends on what kind of shot you want to hit. If they want to hit it high and carry it further downwind, that changes.
