In this video, we’re going to talk about iron golf swing tips and specifically, 2 keys that all great ball strikers do. Have you ever wondered how really good ball strikers seem to hit the ball with a very flat, penetrating ball flight.
When you look at the impact positions of Tiger Woods and myself in this video, you’ll notice how delofted the iron’s clubface looks in both cases. What causes this and how do you do it? That’s exactly what the two simple keys in this video are going to explain.
We’re also going to talk about the strike on the clubface because this is the number one thing that changes the way the ball flies through the air. The trick to this is hitting ball below the center of gravity on the clubface. Most golfers would look at this and think that it’s almost a groove lower than where you’d think that it should be. But if you’ve ever looked at really good iron players clubs, you’ll see a worn spot that lower than center.

have you ever wondered how most good ball Strikers are able to hit the ball really flat with a really penetrating ball flag we take a look at the impact positions here of myself on the left and tiger on the right and notice how Del lofted the club face looks in both cases now what is causing this and what does this do in your golf swing and how more importantly how do you do it there’s only two simple Keys that’s what I’m going to show and share with you in this video so as you can see the club face angle of Tiger’s Club here looks like it’s there mine looks like it’s almost leaning forward so they’re heavily Del lofted but what do they look like at at a dress if you take a look tiger is actually hitting a a wedge here oh there we go Tiger’s hitting a wedge like a sandw you can see he’s got a lot of Loft on the club face and in my case I am hitting I believe an eight iron here so a lot of Loft on both Club faces but when you look at them both both at impact you can see that we have taken a significant amount of Loft off at least after the strike but what is it that allowed us to do this and why do you want this well the first key is why do you want this you want to be able to maintain stress on the shaft through the strike and the reason for that is it’s delofting the club face now there’s a couple things that go into this but at the end of the day what you’re really looking for is how do you get that ball to fly hard and flat through the wind because at the end of the day unless you live in la la land and some magic Utopia you’re going to have to play and win and if you hit the ball really high that’s great when there’s no wind but you need to be able to flatten out that ball flight and what we tiger and I are both doing here is we’ve both hit the ball in a certain part of the face that helps create this and we’ve also both moved centers of mass and that’s what we’re going to talk about so the first thing is we’re going to talk about the strike on the club face because this is the number one thing that’s going to change how your ball flies through the air is where you hit it on that club face and what I mean by that is as you can see my club working through the grass here of course we don’t have the exact frame at impact but you can see that the club is still hovering just above the ground just maybe 4 in before the strike and then after the strike you can see it looks considerably Del lofted and obviously I’ve struck the ground too at this point so that’s helping maintain stress on the shaft which we’re going to talk about how to do that with the body in a sec but you can see even through this Frame Club face still very very Del lofted that’s going to keep a lot of Loft off the face to get a really solid strike on the ball and also to keep the ball uh keep the club face from adding Loft and to keep the ball to fly really flat now the trick to this is hitting the ball below the center of gravity on the club face now a lot of times in most amateur golfers I see the club face strike is always high on the club face it’s if I was to back the club up and we were just to look at the uh I’ll zoom in here real quick so we can can zoom in on this face to get a good idea of what I’m talking about here the ideal place to strike an iron on the club face is about right there give or take a little bit most amateurs hit it about there and when you do that you’re hitting the ball above the CG above the center of gravity and that’s great if you’re hitting a driver but with an iron you want to actually hit it a little bit below and that’s where you’ll see really really good ball Strikers like the best of the best they’ll have a wear spot right there it’ll be really low on the face in fact for most golfers it’ll probably seem like it’s a Groove low maybe even two grooves low but that’s actually where the ideal spot is because what’s going to happen is that as that club face I’ll Advance it a little bit here so we can draw on it a little as the club face strikes the ball below the center of gravity or very close to the center gra definitely not above it with an iron the club face and you can see it actually happening here you can see that the moment I strike the ball this is I’ve not hit the ground hard enough to deloft the club face like this it’s really actually the strike on the ball that’s causing this club face to deloft so if we look at it again you can see from eight iron loft to you know one iron loft is happening during that strike that’s because as I strike it below the center of gravity the club face rolls this way it has to just like if you see somebody hit a driver off the toe the club face opens wide open if they hit off the heel the club face closes uh that’s what’s happening in the strike so if you hit it right in the center the clip face isn’t going to twist at all uh theoretically it’s going to stay really flat but for iron play to really flatten out the ball flight and see those kind of penetrating missiles that you see so many great ball Strikers have you want to hit the ball below the CG so now the other key to this is getting your center of mass forward and this is the money maker if you don’t do this you’re going to really struggle to play really good Golf and what I mean by that is I’m going to take I’m going to go back to a dress I’m going to put a line on my hip here roughly on the outside of my left leg and then we’re going to take tigers and we’re going to do the same thing roughly on the outside of his leg and then we’re going to advance us both to impact and you’re going to see that we have moved our bodies forward tiger even more so than me and he’s hting a wedge here uh moved our where our left leg was at a dress is now well outside that line and this is key to getting your center of mass forward so that you maintain leverage on that golf club and what I mean by leverage there’s so much leverage in the golf so many different ways to create leverage one way that I’ve created leverage by shifting my hips forward is my spine is tilted back this is giving my my spine and my body more leverage against my arms which gives me more leverage against the shaft so that’s one simple way to understand that if you just move your center of mass forward while your upper body tilts back you can see the exact same thing and tiger obviously he’s tilted back even more cuz he’s moved laterally more so than I have and as you tilt back this gives you leverage against your arms with your body to be able to control that shaft and keep driving the hands forward and that’s the key that’s where you know most every amateur on the planet struggles is that they flip the club they don’t get that forward shaing that you need at a dress to be able to deal off the face and then keep that drive sustained as the club is moving through the strike to keep that Loft off the club for the longest time possible without trying to do something funky with your hands you can see my hands aren’t really doing anything here they’re just kind of being driven through obviously I’m posting up I’m rotating a little bit more but my hands aren’t doing anything to try and deloff that face this is all done by just shifting my pressure forward and hitting the ball below the center of gravity with a shallow angle of attack now part of the key to this is just understanding how to shift your pressure so I have a video called the four PR pressure shifts of the modern player that will help you understand how to shift your weight how to get that Center of mass moving forward dynamically and quickly the way that it happens in the golf swing and there’s actually four pressure shifts that allow this to happen so if you want to start getting flat penetrating iron shots watch this video I’ll put the link down description and it’ll help you understand how to hit those missiles that rip through the wind
