You nailed it! I’ve been working on the swing with my Driver for awhile now. The point you make is exactly what I have to do to drive the ball straighter. I have to feel like I’m taking the club through impact from an inside/outside path. I recently changed drivers and struggling to tame the bad shot you showed. Some of the problem is hitting the face inside near the hosel. If I hit high center most times the ball will be in play. I feel the outside/in feeling after impact when I hit a slice even though I’m thinking I made the proper path of swing. My method is to stay on plane and swing within myself with a good finish to be sure that I can control better throughout the swing. My previous driver was a similar problem when I got it and I had to learn the proper method since the swing and impact to low point is different. Like you said to tend to hit the irons much better and straight. Right now my game is suffering some from missing fairways.
happened to me as well, changed my driver swing and had some great straight shots but then started shanking every iron for the first time in 20 years. stopped playing for 4 weeks and forgot my new driver swing and went back to hitting great irons and my standard fade with the driver. change one thing and mess another up
I had been really working on my irons and improved and then all of sudden wasn't driving it well. Your explanation really makes sense. Going to work on this today! Thank you sir 💪 🙏
Man I was having the same problem. I was an embarrassment off the tee in my scramble on Sunday.
Ive been looking for a video that nails my issues…..i think this about says it all! Awesome thanks!
This is a great explanation and perfect advice, thanks!
Makes perfect sense. I never heard it explained this way. Thanks for the video!
Great never thought of this. I’m great with driver but suck with irons. This tip should be gold, thanks!!
Great demo 👍. Thnx.
This video might be perfect for me, I am drawing/hooking my irons but I slice my driver "mostly" (when my wrists get involved to much I can get a hook or pull). I am about to change all my grips to midsize grips, only because I get pain in my hand, I assume it is because I grip it to tight.
This is exactly what has been happening to me and it has me baffled. Thank you.
Flicking those hands at it especially with irons. For myself I came up with a new swing and I’m almost playing par every time I go out now. And for me it’s the manipulation of the wrists and hands. A feeling of keeping them firm and not allowing them to release until after impact, aka a held off feeling. That coupled with stop firing the trail side more than the lead side has done numbers for me.
Very nice explanation! How do you manage to not look at the ball at impact. I see you turning your head to the target before hitting the ball. Any thoughts/drills about this??
It’s bad advice to stare at the ball for the entire swing
Thanks was wondering why I only slice driver and all the advice people would give me was to use an impact bag and get use to closing the club face.
Another horrible thing we slicers of the driver do, is start closing the face of the club. Which is tough habit to kick because every time I set up, I naturally close the face and feels so uncomfortable when facing correctly. And when we finally put a straight-path/ small-draw swing on it, it hooks.
Thanks Ali!! This concept of low point ahead with irons and low point behind with Driver has been a game changer for me. As a general rule.., how many inches ahead and behind do you recommend!?
go to a trackman and only look at Swing Direction and Attack Angle and see which combination gives you a Club Path of close to 0. Two variables (sd and aa) you have to play with. There is no right or wrong. If you have a swing direction of 4 and an aoa of 5 with the driver club path is about -1. If your aoa is -2 you have a path of about +6 hitting low spinny draws.
Great video 👍
I really like a slight push draw with irons and a fade with my driver. It’s the exact same swing except I hold off the face a bit with the driver. As u can see with the path. Anywhere behind the bottom is in to out but as you pass bottom it goes out to in. Same swing but different points in the path and different face to path.
The biggest issue I see is people open the club on the backswing and then have to close it on the downswing. It’s impossible to hit it well when you have to fan the club that much.
Wow I’m one of those few who naturally hits driver much better. After a few duck hook 6irons I usually make the adjustment but then immediately start slicing driver off the planet. For some reason it never occurred to me that I need to change the intention with the irons rather than the driver. Looking forward to giving some fade swings with the irons a shot at the range.
This is brilliant! Thank you!
Will definitely work on this at the range later today!
any suggestions for someone who can smash a 3 wood off the deck 250 all day and even shape it both ways semi consistently, but can't hit a driver at all.
it's a big hook or slice or hit the ground 8-10 inches behind the ball ?
This makes so much sense. Thank you Ali.
I am having trouble with a little low hook off the tee. I try to feel like I am going to slice, to get the ball in the air.
This one was “Taylored” for me this year.
Thanks so much for this insightful video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When talking about a draw player swinging more left with irons, maybe add but keep your backswing the same? Taking lessons and that’s what they had me do
Thanks 👍
I gotta try this! Irons are usually deadly, just driver is a slice machine. Thanks for the info
Every time I go out to play I'm either crushing with my driver the whole day and bad with irons. Next time I go out it's the opposite.
So for this one if i keep fixing at the end i will have one swing or i have to be good with two swing???😅 so confused
I got fitted for a driver today. Tried 4 different drivers. Had 1 shot 315, which is what I would expect, and rest were mega slicing at 260 yards. My 2 iron goes 280 with incredibly amount more accuracy. I fitted for a 3 wood and was incredibly better to transition. At 300. 3 wood will be my driver and for pin point accurate slim fairways, I’ll use a 4 iron for 250 yards
Very good video. But my problem is pulling my irons left of the target. That tells me that I swing out to in with a square club face at impact. If I do as you suggest, correct the club face first, would I open my club face to Target? Will this lead to a fade? Or if my club face is already square should I work on a more in to out swing path? Thank you for your help!
Sounds like flipping. Try pushing your hands through the impact zone in the direction of the target. That fractionally delays the release and you should see much fewer pulls.
@@jeroengoudswaard1176 Will give it a go!
I hit a draw with my irons every shot, and have really good distance control, but can't hit a fairway to save my life. A lot of times I will hit the driver well for the first 4 or 5 holes, than just start pull hooking it or blocking it high to the right. Yet on my launch monitor at home hitting into a net I will hit a draw with my driver almost everytime and have good launch numbers, spin, smash factor, etc.
Oh Man, the struggles in Golf. Whenever you hit the driver straight, the irons hook, and whenever the irons are straight, you slice the driver like a mofo. Then you get conscious of your slice, hook the driver on the next hit, then have to re-integrate some of that slice to make the driver go straight, all of a sudden it's hole 18 :)
Actual solution if you need to win at something, 2 irons. 250-260 yard straight iron VS unpredictable driver wins every time.
Wow I have been struggling with this for 30 years, I’m the good driver inconsistent iron type…….I hope this helps me let you know soon.
The best video you need 🙏🏻⛳️
yea!! love this
I'm the rare type you mentioned that hits a perfect draw with the driver, 320 down the fairway A-1. 8 through 3 Iron has a 50% chance of going ob either right OR left, zero consistency.
If you put me on the teebox of a dead straight hole, and said "Ill give you 1 million dollars if you hit the fairway..... you can pick an 8 iron or a driver......" I would have a 10x better chance of winning the money with the driver. Shouldn't be that way.
I must be 1 of the few who hit natural draws with driver & push everything right with irons! (As right handed player) Definitely will give this a go!
Ali, what about if your a golfer who’s good with their irons but with driver I’m hitting the ground behind the ball and hitting long draws and pulls?
When you “watch the ball” where do you look at the ball???? I was keeping my eye on the backside of the ball where the club hits. I started keepin my eye an the front side of the ball. I feel like that helped from hitting the ground. Maybe maybe not. But worth a shot
I’m back and forth, I used to be really good with irons and utter crap with driver. I slowly got better at driver and now it’s back and forth. Sometimes one or the other is clicking depending on the day, but never ever together haha uggggh
Have you been seeing my driving range shots lately? This is like almost like an intervention haha. Will keep this in mind when going to the range next time.
So I was good with my irons very confident.. but had a massive slice for driver ..focused on driver to much and now hit driver straight and can’t for the love of god hit irons
Hmm, yeah close but no cigar. Ideally you don't want to step on the first tee with a concept of different swings for different clubs, you need one repeatable swing that works for everything! This comes from accurate swing weighting and shaft choices in your bag which in turn, make the changes in alignment and path automatic, and not a swing decision.
This is the exact video I needed
I felt this
Yes sir i hit driver straight 290 carry my irons are rough and my wedges are a joke.
I bomb my driver but can only hit short irons. I’m playing a friendly tournament tomorrow so I’ll see if this video helps any. I like the info though!
THIS IS ME!!
This is for me, I’m listening.
I'm good with driver and wedges, okay with irons, eh with hybrid, absolutely horrible with fairways. 😐
How about if I can hit my woods, hybrid, irons and wedges straight but not my driver😂😭
Sounds like I’m actually another anomaly because I’m same with both. Very subpar with driver and irons equally.😂
I hit fairways with driver then don’t hit the green with wedges …
This is exactly my problem with my driver
Bold of you to assume I’m good with either. 😂
I try not to assume anything 😂
I feel like this video was made for me
The TH-cam algorithm is worryingly good at reaching its target audience
Not good enough though 😂
I can hit the driver 300 yards plus dead straight but cannot hit irons for the life of me
Why am I bad with both?
Hit my driver dead straight and can’t hit my iron straight to save my life
I’m good with neither man 😭
Jokes on you...I'm not good with either
This is perfect for you then 💪
@@AliTaylorGolf wow.....I honestly did not expect a response to my joke. I am one of those who have always been better with irons than driver but my irons play is still pretty inconsistent. I've always been a slicer with driver. Lately I've found some of your videos and others that have addressed wrist position with driver and found that I've been cupping. That has helped but I'm still only hitting half or less of my drives straight. I'll try this advice out at the range next time I go and see if I can get some better results with it. Thank you.
