Thank you Jeff. Such a great feeling when we strike an iron properly 👍
Good lesson. Thanks

Fantastic explanation. After the strike really ingrained this for me. Much thanks from eastern North Carolina. ❤ 💯 👍
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed the video, that's what its all about. North Carolina is a beautiful part of the country. I lived in Mobile, Alabama for around 9 years and travelled around playing, even up to North Carolina. Amazing country
Compression explained- As requested. Good explanation and as said it’s the practice of the method to get it bedded into your routine that will cement it. That’s my morning sorted for me. Top job.

Hey Dave,just got back from the driving range with only 50 balls took me over 1hr to get through them slowly and OMG.I was crushing them with that buttery feel.9,8,7 were great but started hitting the 6 with less loft not as well.Guess i will have to keep working a bit more.Cheers!

Great vid and way to explain!!
Subscribed 😁👍 🔔✔️
Thank you very much, hope it helps you. Welcome to the channel
Great explanation. I have to watch many videos to compare to get a complete better understanding. This was done well, look foward to trying it out. Just a little friendly feedback, a little paint on the walls will go a long way to build your subscber following :). I live in United States, NJ
Hey thanks so much for the comment. Really glad you enjoyed it, let me know how it goes👍 100% so funny you said that, in my recent video about Rory I actually asked about what to do with the walls. I know they don’t look great. I’m swaying towards paint and maybe my logo on the wall and some golf course pictures. Thanks for the feedback 🙏
Great video. I am an ok golfer, 10 hcp, but I do ALL of the things you explain in the beginning. I have attempted to make changes, but when I get to the range, I can’t seem to open my hips enough to allow club to clear the ground cleanly and I keep hitting the turf hard….usually behind the ball. Any thoughts on what I might do to stop this? Or do I just need to keep at it and sacrifice my elbow and wrist to golf gods? Basically, I know what I SHOULD do, but I can’t seem to make it work.
I am also hesitant to take my game backwards as I am playing solidly for the most part. But I hate my early release, standing up, chicken wing swing….
Hey thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video. All of the issues you mention are typically a reaction and a by product of the Clubface being open in the golf swing. When this face is open this is typically how the body compensates. I would check the left hand grip to start with make sure it’s enough in the fingers and not the palm. Then get to work on checking it to see if it’s open at different parts in the swing. Then potentially work on each segment separately after that. I do have more videos on my channel covering theses issues and more to come soon.
Does this same technique work with mid to high loft hybrids? I’m 76 and gave up irons except 9 and higher. If I have an uphill lie, my hybrid strikes feel great due to compression /squeezing the ball. I need a drill to compress on level lie.
Hey Gary thanks so much for your comment. It’s exactly the same with hybrids and the same for anytime the ball is on the ground. Quite a good way to learn this is to try and compress it off a downhill lie as that is the hardest and that will transfer over to the level/flat lie. Any questions let me know ⛳️
David, enjoyed your video on spin loft. Since you have a very similar body type, I see a few great things I can’t get from skinny tall guys!
Going to run through your video library. Trying to seriously improve my driver. Cheers.
Awesome Richard glad you enjoyed it. I actually just posted a driver video yesterday which might help you out 👏 let me know if you’ve any questions ⛳️
DL- in the driver downswing,are the arms still extended
Hey Stephen thanks for the comment. Yes still both extended but the difference being we don’t contact the ground and the body stays more behind the golf ball.
This video might help you out

I have titelist t400 irons they say it’s delofted so what does it mean I don’t need to take the club to take it forward ?
Yes the T400 are stronger lofts but you would still want have the hands slightly ahead at address and impact as it's all about helping the ball contact. The technology in the T400 is built to get it launching high even with the lower loft
…I haven’t used an iron in 20 years…my sets are all hybrids…so much easier to sweep , than constantly struggle with attaining the complexity of dynamic loft to time the compression…because , except the driver, it’s never about distance, but club selection…
100% that’s great. I teach a few people with a full set of hybrids and they can work really well for more of a swinger than a hitter. That’s cool you have such great success with them 👍⛳️
@@dlgolftips …I would have been able to hit irons had I seen your video 30 years ago..
Appreciate that 🙏 I guess we didn’t know as much about the golf swing then as we do now. I remember my first lesson around 25 years ago and instruction and knowledge about the golf swing has changed. Who knows maybe time to dust the irons off and see how they behave. If nothing else it will confirm the hybrids for you, could be a little fun too 😄
Is this swing same for drivers also
Great question, not exactly. We still want to compress the ball with a driver whilst hitting up. I will make make a video on this in future though
Great video, I've just recently taken golf back up after a long long spell off the greens. I cannot for the life of me transfer my weight in the correct way and I really struggle with ball first, turf after, it doesn't matter how many instructional videos I watch. Can you offer any pointers that may help me strike ball first then turf? Many thanks and I looking forward to hopefully hearing from you.🏌⛳️
Hey Stephen welcome back to the game. Stick at it ⛳️ I have a couple of videos that I did in my IMPROVE YOUR GOLF playlist. But I do have a downswing sequence drill coming in a couple of days that will really help you out with this. Striking ball then turf is without doubt one of the most important things in golf. The drill is this video should help plus my other ones and new one coming soon. I’d love it to help you ⛳️
