A flushed iron shot is the best feeling in golf.
Golfers chase that feeling every time they play. The chase, apparently, continues off the course as well, because iron and ball-striking tips are consistently among the most popular on GolfPass every year.
This year, we are unveiling our inaugural Golfers’ Choice list for Daily Video Tips. GolfPass members, and other loyal instruction tip viewers, helped us create this list through what they watched and how they engaged with each video. To find the best of the best, we used a formula that factored in likes, comments and total views on every tip on GolfPass in 2025. That equates to approximately a 50-percent impact from the number of likes versus 25 percent from comments and views, respectively. We are proud to introduce this new franchise of content as part of Golfers’ Choice 2026.
We have also created top-10 lists in four other categories – best overall, driving, short game and putting. Obviously, the top 10 tips overall will rank highly in the other categories.
A wise golfer could (and probably should) use the 40 best instruction tips from 2025 featured in all five articles to completely overhaul and improve their games from tee to green. These were the 10 most popular out of the 86 new iron-related Daily Video Tips we created in 2025.

2. How to release the club
Carolin Pinegger’s club release tip was the most watched Daily Video Tip on GolfPass last year. Its straightforward and understandable approach helped many golfers strike their irons better.
“Hey Carolin – I’ve read about or heard many different theories on how to teach or learn the concept of release. This video is very simple and common sensical, which makes it very easy to understand. I went to the range yesterday after watching it and immediately put it to work. It definitely helped me and I will continue to use this going forward to eliminate the dreaded “wrist flip”. Thanks for presenting this in a new way, which is easy to understand and very instructive – well done!” – David S.
