got the launch on that higher it’s way higher so we’re going to show you Paul real live lesson in today’s video to show you the difference between an iron and a driver swing because they’re very different and here’s a classic example of a student who likes to play their iron struggles with the driver but they’re playing an iron swing with their driver you’re going to find this really interesting how we change them at the end is just massive to help him hit his driver real common problem driver swing iron swing if you like the information in this video Hit the like button also down in the link or down below there’s a link to my free Weekly Newsletter also you can there’s a number if you want to go and have a lesson with the guys at JD Golf Academy using this amazing Tech number down there to inquire about lessons so what we did to kick it off with Paul you can see is Lead Foot was so straight on very good for kind of loading into that foot and staying in there and driving that handle which you like to do so is that launching really low as well just way too low so we started by turning that foot out and I also told him don’t be afraid to let that foot move a little bit on the way through which is why you’re going to see him jumping around cuz he found that quite uncomfortable but by getting his set up in a better position through measured data seeing how his much his foot was actually turned out in degrees we were able to get him into a position to start really changing his delivery his Loft his club path his angle his attack he changing how he plays well an iron swing with everything and start using a driver swing with his driver yeah that helps yeah I mean it’s 14 spin that’s the highest spin you’ve had 14 and there’s literally no vertical at all got a better chance of getting up through inside he’s never going to get up through lead side with that lead foot as it is it’s the start of correct so I I think now he has the right to try and get up out that lead up what’s your pis side at that point you’ve increased it by degree so we need it more tiny bit we will yeah I would still want to see that grip and head lined up a little more so for someone who holds on to angle so much which is such a common problem amongst golfers when I post videos about trying to understand these angles more people always think it’s talking about casting people are so scared or being kind of taught incorrectly about that term so with Paul we asked him literally to get rid of this handle lean impact so much which was delofting his driver to use concept just think about dumping the angles out earlier get them out basically get the wrist working this way and look what happened let the club head over take your hands 4° more was that the last shot yeah so I want I would say for you there Paul terms of shaft leans that was 3° positive at impact feel like you give me 3° negative yeah does that make sense which way is negative which way is positive yeah yeah yeah yeah go go silly yeah go to posture good top of action yeah start moving it down keep hands moving that’s going to really catch up yeah so like you’re going to hit it high yeah yeah you’re going to flip it it’s going to feel don’t want to drag that handle if if you keep applying force that way the head’s going to blow back yeah that way yeah look at the Loft yeah yeah we need to bear in mind this grip’s moving fast yeah especially with a driver I need you to decelerate that grip line the head up yeah yeah but overdo it you’ve just got to bear in mind the way that we want to do this is not not yeah if we get into Lead Foot then we line up yeah so like an impact bag down on the floor yeah really rehearse that yeah if we keep you you lean your iron a lot don’t you yeah because of your speed and that’s why he’s an iron predominant player than a driver cuz there’s so much force beenin applied yeah and then the right hand’s catching it up and pushing it even more more that way you got impact with the ball which is more that way yeah you want to feel like drivers trying to launch up and out yeah yeah like stupid High yeah yeah so it’s quite net practice is quite good like having that visual you should be so if I jump on that if you jump just over there like I would be wanting to feel like I am going to try and get it up there that’s why I’d want it launching up there cuz you are such a where you’re straight footed staying straight footed just driving down and in this way and you give you an iron off the ground some funny Li it’s like if I own a bit of a divot lie that’s how I’m eting it yeah you’re a good iron player yeah you’re going to have a lovely you’re going to play from so many variations of Lies but you’re doing that with your driver as well isn’t he he’s just what he’s actually straight footed that way this basically can’t get round you need to be this turned out turning out trying to go see how line the head shaft up the head and the grip up there that way yeah but I’m doing that all here so so yeah absolutely I’m not doing it’s all happened so bear in mind the iron we taking Loft out of it should be adding to Loft it which is why I mean you are now with Miss hits getting 17 I reckon if you strike that out the middle you’re going to be like 15 to 2,000 you should be spinning this two and a half thousand revs at your Club head speed see I would say for you pul as well being a good practicer if you looked at your ratio of iron practice to driver practice Yeah your 90% iron practice 10% driver practice yeah let’s tick the irons off yeah it’s it’s nearly but let’s flip that yeah I am definitely so like the top end of the bag is becoming more and more comfortable good yeah so the more Loft you’ve got in your the three-wood will be more comfortable driver five would be more comfortable than three very recently I’ve been yeah honestly if I wanted s probably knock 100% you can see that yeah well if we do any kind of like driver to iron swing video yeah you are not making two different swings abely I am very much making two different actions between those two clubs so look that’s low left better is better see it’s that’s your launch yeah up here yeah good effort it’s much closer that’s like there to there obviously that’s a lot in that time in three yards that’s like huge yeah go again first P let do that again skyed a little unfortunately done with strike but I reckon the numbers were better you could have gone a hair more there three and what was it six six and a half seven yeah and we would want it near a zero yeah I’d want it match up at one start with one deliver one yeah got a launch on that higher it’s way higher yeah 16° two4 spin there you that’sa I say that’s where you need to be living and you’re now 257 carry they were like down at 22 230 before yeah you’re not swinging any faster ball speeds were 153 155 ball speeds the same all this is a different you’re you’re thinking about an external queue here yeah you don’t need an internal queue you don’t need to be thinking here here like you just said about the foot position I’m not thinking about that now launch Let Let the Body do what it’s doing yeah that’s so different yeah that was good that was really good so again bit high on the face slightly what’s the lean two two from six yeah so you’re lining that let’s have look at the power Side Band it’s on the it’s on the 11 11 where did he start you got the first one nine yeah yeah so he’s three two degre difference inside look at the lean difference you see that up on the screen there turn some of those off mate I don’t see you got a better visual of that that’s someone who practices iron all day long yeah and I would tell you do and that’s someone who runs to hitting an iron when the pressure gets on poo hits the fam yeah I’m the other way around I I want my driver all the time and I’m I’m a line uper huge it’s massive that is massive that’s probably 7 8° yeah fantastic this is a great example of how Iron swing and drive swing have to be different how if a player has a skill that they like they run away from the other skill because they don’t want to practice or work out how to make that better but with Paul we really helped him I mean we changed his angle of attack from down to up we gave him more lofter impact with different handle leans which gave him much better ballf flight numbers which increased his distance made him hit the ball further yet he didn’t feel like he had to swing any faster we basically got closer to maximizing what he was putting into the system and in turn we changed club path because loads of angle often relates to face angle of attack and club path all these parts fell into place with the help of the guys at JD Gulf Academy remember if you want a lesson from them link or number Down Below in description they do have one of if not the best studio in the country at the moment with the tech they’ve got dual
