If you’ve ever wondered why ball striking feels 
so inconsistent, one good strike followed by a horrible messy one, this video is going to change 
everything and going to help you transform the way you strike the ball with your irions forever. 
This is really going to change your game. We’re going to dismantle some myths around the down 
swing and ball striking that are hurting your game rather than helping it and get you striking 
it like you’ve never struck it before. If you find the information in today’s video helpful, hit that

in the comments down below today’s question, what’s the longest iron in your golf bag? I have 
a five iron. Is the longest iron in my golf bag? I want to know. Cool. That struck. Wow. What’s 
the longest iron you carry in your golf bag? Let me know in the comments. So, let’s take a look 
at optimotion here. And what we can see in the down swing is there is a hip sway and a shoulder 
sway. This can get up to three or four inches with world class players. And what you can see for me, 
I’m two inches across with my hips and I’m 1.4 for across with my shoulders. They could be more 
across. So going towards target in the down swing. And this is where the myth really comes in because 
people get these numbers very mixed up and that really ruins their strike. So what we do see 
from worldass players is three to four inches across with certain segments of their body as they 
move into their down swing. But what we see a lot and I have amateurs telling me they do in their 
down swing is everything should start with the hips. They say everything starts with the hips. It 
always starts with the hips. And that encourages this move where the hips run out from underneath 
them. Upper body’s way too far back or hips go, shoulders rotate, and the club gets way out in 
front. So, we see a real separation from the two segments as they start the down swing. Like, 
they’re actively trying to do it. In the comments down below, who hasn’t? Let me know. You’re 
trying to drive your hips open and forward in the down swing. This creates such bad low point 
control like really poor strikes. Now what we see from some of the world’s best is as they move 
the club down where their arms get about parallel to the ground in the down swing is both segments 
of sway. So pelvis and upper body sways across on the down swing at quite equal amounts like the 
hips are a half an inch ahead but they’re very very close to each other. And if we can get you to 
get this feeling, you’re going to find that your striking absolutely transforms. You’re really 
going to start to get ball then ground kind of strikes and get some of the best shots you’ve ever 
hit. Certainly with ground contact. So I’m going to take these two Shrixen golf balls. Use any 
manufacturer you want. I’m just going to use these lovely Shrixens. Now these two Shrixens are about 
3 and 12 in wide. So when I measure them, that’s about 3 and 12 in from here to here. So I’m going 
to set up to an imaginary ball. And then what I’m going to do is place these two balls so they’re 
touching my lead foot. They’re outside of my lead foot here. So they measure about three and a half 
inches. There’s a bit of perspective involved, but we’re going to use those two balls to sync 
your sway with your arm drop to get the club path working and get your strikes jamming. So I want 
you to go top of your back swing and stop. So what I’m going to do is I start down so I can see these 
two balls at my lead left eye here at the top. So, I’m going to try and cover those two balls 
up with a hip bump and a shoulder bump. So, shoulder and hips are going to go together across 
to cover those balls up. Now, at the same time, I’m going to try and move my arms down so 
they’re parallel to the ground here. So, literally just pulling my arms down. I’m not 
trying to rotate. I’m not trying to lower arms laying it down or anything like that. I am 
going to use this shove across with my arms just coming down sync the lateral movement with 
the drop of the club which is going to get you some pass like you’ve never seen before which 
also will lead to way better striking. So again I’m going to get that feel. I can see those balls 
hips shoulders just cover them up but at the same time going to just drop those arms down. And 
with those segments kind of stacking on top of each other now where they’ve gone two to four 
inches across, I can now turn and rotate into that ball. Now what I’m going to do, I’m just 
going to move the inside ball. So the outside one is still there. Set myself up as if I am 
now two balls away from that outside ball. So I can still use the outside ball. I’m going to try 
it with a shot. Arms down. Cover those balls up like this. transforms people striking like it 
totally changes the way they think about the down swing. That myth of that the hips are going 
like the hips do go earlier than the shoulders in some ways but they are certainly not out running 
shoulders where we start getting massive tilts and it affects how we’re turning. There is a 
slight sinking on the way down as the arms drop that allows good golfers to get on better paths 
without thinking about it. Get across the ball to get those ball then turf strikes. What good 
players are really good at doing is then slamming on the brakes to make sure they don’t just keep 
sliding towards target. Use this two ball drill. It’ll transform the way you strike the ball, move 
in the down swing. And if you want to find out how far you should be hitting a club like a 7, watch
