This Drill Will Make You An UNBEATABLE Iron Player (MUST WATCH)

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Which part do you need to work on the most? Backswing, downswing or release?

[@JeffPassageCPA]

Whatever it takes for me to hit my 8 iron over 110 yards.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

@@JeffPassageCPA all of it then 😂

Thanks for this drill Giles, a great drill timed perfectly for myself..

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Amazing! Glad you enjoyed it

ABSOLUTELY INSANE GOLF PRO!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EXPLANATION!!! 🏆

[@Gilesgillgolf]

You bet! I’m glad it helped!

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent "split hand drill" Giles that serves so many different purposes. I like this drill plus the reverse hand drill which also shows how the arm structure should be in the golf swing. Your suggestion of the ice hockey players "slap shot" is also a good one to work on! Well Done Giles! Keep up the good work!!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you John! Like you said, it shows how a different drill can be used multiple different ways to get a result

[@josephwilks337]

Great video. Taking it to the range this morning.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Hope you enjoy it!

Downswing, I am starting to implement the bring the hands down/hit from the inside into my swing (and trying to convince myself I'm not casting/throwing the club). I also need to warm up better, because I tend to be a bit timid the first few holes on all aspects of the swing. I also tend to get fatigued the last few holes so I lose the width/go back to bad habits.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Always important to warm up before playing. Hope this video helps

Back to target at the top of the swing has given me more distance and consistency. The split hand grip drill is in my top 3 of golf drills.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thats a great swing thought

[@tonyfrostad2730]

another great drill and it's good for a pre-shot routine ....

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Phenomenal pre shot routine

[@PJo336]

I need to work on the width at the top! My trail hand is usually behind my trail thigh at shaft parallel which I assume is casting and getting stuck due to a flying elbow like you describe at the start. I'll be giving all this a try!

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Good luck! Let me know how you get on

[@grahamsully853]

hi Giles does this work for all clubs ? thanks

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Yes it does

Hi Giles, ive recently tried using less of my arms and keeping them passive whilst adding more chest and body rotation. Letting the arms/club drop in to the slot and the firing the chest. As opposed to throwing the arms at the golf ball, even with getting in to the slot. Is more of the body rotation something you advocate for? Ps. Great video as always

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Thank you & it depends on the golfer & what you naturally do

[@incognitoparty]

Is tucking in that trail elbow during downswing different from "throwing down the club with hands", and side bend? Also, would tucking in trail elbow move come natural if i have internal forearm rotation during backswing, or should i do it manually each swing?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

I would never tuck the trail arm as that usually means you are holding the angle in that trail for far too long. Instead you want to focus on getting the elbow and rush hands down in front of the right hip

[@justinairin1]

I think I’ve always been confused by this because people have said never lift your trail arm in the backswing,but you have to some to get that wide feeling right?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

It’s physically impossible to have a good backswing without lifting your trail. it has to lift a certain amount. The key is that you don’t want the elbow to go excessively high to wear the tricep goes above parallel to the ground.

[@justinairin1]

Weight shift and transition for me.

The pumping down sensation will work perfectly

Can an 8i cavity back go 160 yds? lol

Question: Giles, have you ever done a video with the sun out?

[@Gilesgillgolf]

Probably not 😂

[@vivektulja4516]

Unbeatable? Wow. If I can find a time machine, I might be able to go back and beat Jack Nicklaus in all those majors.

[@Gilesgillgolf]

He’d have you on the greens

[@vivektulja4516]

@@Gilesgillgolf Not to worry. I am sure there is another British golf pro lurking somewhere on KZbin promising to make me unbeatable on the greens as well.

@@vivektulja4516 then you’ll just need to work on your short game, wedge play, driving, course management & mental game ;)

@@Gilesgillgolf not to worry. There are plenty of British coaches on KZbin who can increase my driving distance by 70 yards, help me make every 15-foot putt, make me unbeatable with irons - all with an easy, simple trick.
