How to hit A Driver Vs Iron
Driver swing Vs Iron swing (huge difference)
Sharing buttons:
so you ought to hit your driver long and
straight and you want to hit your irons
closer to the hole well in this video
I'm going to show the differences
between drive and iron swing because
they are different and you've got a
factor that in to play really good golf
you kick things off with driver the
simple idea with drivers to get maximum
distance and to get it out there if you
want that club to move it up into the
back of the golf ball and the way we set
up to the driver is totally different to
an iron and this setup is going to help
you optimize your performance to help
you hit it a long way
number one with driver because we want
distance we want speed and to gain speed
we need to have a stable base so making
sure when we setup to driver that our
feet are wider than our shoulders that
way we're gonna make sure that we've got
the stability to create a big shoulder
turn it's number one number two ball
position as I mentioned with driver we
want the club to moving up into the back
of the ball well that's getting too
technical an awkward angle of attack so
to opt to do that we've got to get that
ball position inside left heel as you
can see there my ball is inside my left
heel see too many golfers getting it
right in the middle of the stumps and
that's no good for driver get it up near
that left heel next thing is how we
position our upper body if you think
about this the lower body is very
symmetrical I've got that nice wide
stance and I'm ready and I'm stable with
the upper body we need a little bit of
tilt to the right hand side so I want to
feel like my right shoulder drops down
and also slightly pulls backwards that
ways you can see it settle notice how my
upper body has a little bit of tilt in
it and that's going to help me hit up
into the back of the ball that is
absolutely essential again to many
golfers get the chest over the ball we
driver and that's not going to help you
hit it a long way
having a little bit of tilt in the upper
body making sure then during the
backswing that hilt remains the same you
can see I'm still behind the golf ball
and even at the point of contact no we
saw I've guilt still
upper-body till my hips have turned but
my upper body is still tilted so that I
hit up on the ball maximize speed
maximize distance quick recap
wide stance wider than your shoulders
Bob's Isham forward slight tilt in the
upper body and pull that right shoulder
backwards and also then feel like you
stay slightly behind the golf ball as
you hit to make sure you launch it up in
the air oh yes I hit up on it the ball
flight was high it would have reduced
the spin the distance would have been
pretty good that's how you hit driver in
contrast iron swing is totally different
and you've got to factor this in I'm
going to show you the instruction for a
7-iron but it pretty much stays the same
all of your irons now with a 7-iron or a
mid iron you now don't want to be
hitting upon the golf ball the balls not
on a tee predominately on the ground and
you want the club this time to be
sitting slightly down into the ball so
again without getting too technical the
angle of attack is coming down so why
your setup has to be totally different
with irons we do want a wide stance but
not as wide as driver so this time
trying to get the feet about the same
width as the shoulders as opposed to
wider and notice how in my setup here my
chest is much more over the golf ball
and that ball position is just in front
of Center so notice now my chest is more
over it if anything and this is a really
top tip feel like your weight is around
55% in your front leg because that's
going to help you hit down and make sure
you hit the ball first and the ground
after now during the golf swing this
time the chest as you can see it's
staying more over the ball I'm not
trying to move to the right like I will
do a driver
I'm staying much more over the golf ball
and as I come in to hit the shot again
my chest
it's actually the left side of the golf
ball the big difference with irons you
want to hit down you want hit the ball
first and then the ground after see the
best players in the world do that and
with this setup you can do that too so
recap shoulder width apart feet position
ball position just in front of Center my
chest is more over the golf ball and it
stays there as I hit the shot and as I
coming to hit my weight stays more
towards the left that way you can hit
the ball first the ground off dude you
can see coming here let me show you this
that's where the ball would have been
and I've hit the ball first and the
ground after so the club would have been
going down into the ground possibly
because the ground so wet here at the
moment maybe too much the difference is
between driver and iron swing is crucial
you want to play better golf you've got
to make those adaptions
