My biggest gains in ball striking came from improving my transition. Particularly, shifting/loading onto my lead side earlier, BEFORE the backswing completes. This naturally helps the hips open more at impact, gets the club path more inside, and encourages lag. I think it would be difficult to achieve this impact position without addressing this transition move first.
Some call it a "fall". You do your backswing and almost immediately FEEL like you're falling toward the ball.
You hit the nail on the head about address vs. impact. When coaching a new golfer the first thing I do is pose them into the post-release position; where club face is just after ball releases. They realize that at impact the hips have shifted laterally and open relative to address and back foot is still grounded or just slightly raised. Next I’ll have them pose there with just their lead hand on the grip and challenge them to get the trail hand on the grip. The only way to do that is to side bend the spine, what good ball strikers do through impact.
What 99% percent of golfers don’t realize is the role the mass of the lead arm flying down off the chest plays in accelerating the club head. Because of the way the shoulders and pinned-across-chest lead arm lag behind hip turn in the downswing by 45° just as the hips reach 45° open and feel “stuck” if back foot is grounded the shoulders turn back to parallel and the momentum causes the mass of the lead arm to fly off the chest pulling the trail arm straight and pulling hands and club head mass straight at the target. The more a golfer can side bend as this occurs the more tilt there will be in the shoulders and the more the mass of the lead and trail arms will fly off towards target changing the force vector of the club head mass from tangential to the circles around the feet and hands to straight down the target line.
The physics of how the dual lever action of club shaft spinning the mass of the club head around the lead arm is very similar to a Trebuchet which whips a projectile in a sling around the primary lever arm. The key trigger move is the feeling of “hitting the wall” with the hips that occurs when shifted laterally then rotated with feet grounded which forces them to stop abruptly causing lead arm mass to disconnect and club head mass to start whipping down around the hands - which generates a huge burst of the club head acceleration.
The golfer “breaks through the wall” by a controlled lifting of the back foot through impact then lifting it on the toe and turning it to allow hips to turn the final 45°+ degrees to face target in the finish. Many of the swing faults of beginners can be traced to the action of their back foot, either lifting it too soon and allowing hips and shoulders to swing open too much, too soon before impact or keeping it grounded which results in “blocked” hips which are at 45° open in the finish which causes shoulders turn past hips and trail arm to immediately bend at the elbow as club head mass whips around feet instead of being pulled out straight at the target.
Since I subscribed to your channel, my golf game as a whole, has improved greatly. I've been a subscriber for a few years now. Using your tips and drills, my ball striking is better than ever!
Thanks for all your help!
Glad the videos help, thanks for being a long term subscriber
Great lesson! From a 1.2 hcp to 20 as I’ve aged these days I’m in trouble as soon as the club moves away from the ball, and for me impact feels more like a slap! Discouraging and painful! Feeling my weight on the ground will stabilize my body and feel more athletic again. Love your simplicity! Thank you so much!
Jonathan Kim Moss gives great instruction tips.
One of the best drills to fix a slice for sure. Thanks
thanks ali , this drill has really helped with my ball striking and has my angle of attack in the negatives , i went from 135 to 150 carry with my pw.
in 1 day? lol wtf
WOW In 4 months I have watched endless youtube videos and understood the concept of getting the club to land in front of the ball but I was never able to do it until I followed your drill. The swing felt very awkward initially but after 2 days I knew what a solid contact feels like. I was so happy with the routine that I kept going for 50 minutes rather than 5 min. I will take note of what you said about quality and quantity.
Thanks
Great explanation. The fact that you mentioned about hand position being further ahead of the ball at striking moment (compared to the initial set up hand position) stuck in my head and easy to remember, definitely improving my game (just that simple fact). Thank you.
I haven’t subscribed because I have a coach that I’ve been with for years, but I do enjoy your videos. Your style is very similar to the way I’m taught.
No problem Ron, happy you enjoy my style of coaching. I'm sure your coach wouldn't mind. 😉
Excellent drill and well explained and demonstrated, this really works thank you
Good video and nice drill to warm up with and get that consistent impact.
Your videos are always helpful to me and I would think to the everyday golfer! Your delivery is very easy to digest and translate to better our game, thanks Ali
I really think this video helped me a lot (5 minutes a day is doable for me. Thank you.
The best FSL and compress shot explain, easy to understand and practice
Very helpful and easy to understand. Good drill
Ali! Love your channel..., your instruction is solid!! Thanks!!
Thank you Ali for all of your videos, they have helped me improve my golf game tremendously. I struggle a bit with my ball striking, very inconsistent. I am able to achieve your concept at the start of my backswing but I am losing it in the downswing at some point as my shots fade off to the right. I am going to take this tip and really work on it over the winter months and see where my game is in the early spring.
Good vid Ali, nice to see more people discussing the kinematic chain and how to use it.
Awesome lesson keeping it simple thank you
I will practise this thanks
Excellent lesson, subscribed 👍🏴🇮🇪☘️
I really appreciate this one as I have lost so much yardage and rarely hit my irons pure in the last month.
Excellent video, and easily explained. Keep up the great content. ( from a long time subscriber) 👏👏👏👏👏. Thank you Ali
Thanks Gary
What a great tip to achieve hitting down on the ball and compressing it
Thanks
Great video my club face was open at impact an easy correction thanks.
Played last Sunday. Had some great iron and 3 wood strikes off the ground using this move. Has really improved my strike keeping the iron edge aligned with the spine angle.
Nice ,easy drill to practice and improve. Like it. Thanks.
New insight for me Thank you.
Does this drill translate to your driver as well? Trying to hit up slight off the tee so would you want the same feel/club face to spine relationship for driver?
I love to watch your video and give viewers a tip works for me thanks a lot
Excellent drill. Thanks.
Great lesson thanks for your time and expertise! What is the loft of your 8 iron? Thanks 🙏
at 3:47 you mention about matching the spine angle. Is that done with back bending the trail wrist? If so, what sort of grip..neutral, weak. strong etc?
This is Big . Heading out to practice
I'll be out in garden tomorrow trying this out, great video.
Hope it helps
Thanks!
You're welcome, thank you.
What a great practice routine. Do you have a similar feel for driver?
Good Stuff Ali! Does this also apply to the Driver and Woods?
Great video
Can you apply this to hitting driver?
Great advice, got a subscriber in me!
Thank you
Thank you 🙏
Any time!
how about woods and driver? same swing? tnx
Does this apply same to using the wood?
Do you have a 5 minutes a day drill to help with creating a positive angle of attack with a driver. I've struggled with this the entire time I've been playing. My AoA with my driver is between -5.5 and -8deg. 155-165 ball speed carrying 230ish. I'm wasting yards. So far when I try to hit up I top the ball. Thanks in advance!
I'll see what I can do
Thank you
Welcome!
Shanked the first 20 shots with this drill and then it mostly clicked into place. When I do it right it really works, wow, never hit it crisper and much better ball flight. Still shanking about 10% , not sure why yet, but only Day 1.
Sehr gut erklärt 👍👍🇨🇭
Superb video
Thank you.
You never mentioned how you keep the club more closed in the back swing. 🤔
Solid.
SLO-Mo would be great
I do subscribe. It’s subscribe able…. I’m in.
Last time...shanks🙈
Hope, this helps🥴
So other than turning are you swinging your arms? Turning alone won't generate that power. Will try this but never had success with the turn.
I don't think he's suggesting that the arms don't swing. He's trying to convey that if the body moves and gets out of the way, then the arms can swing through.
The turning of the body squares the club face is what he's trying to explain. I have played with quite a few really good golfers and most of them tell me they don't go after the ball until the club is by their hips. The arms shouldn't be applying the power. The turning up of the hips and shoulders throws the weight of the club head down.
The arms swing because of body rotation. Majority of power comes from using the ground properly to activate good body rotation.
Active arms will cause all sorts of problems. The arms/hands should be in front of the frame of your body throughout the swing. The arms should not cross over your chest, except at the end follow through posture.
The hands and arms should be the last to fire in the downswing. If you work on what's in this video it should help
Spend a few minutes watching the final stride of javelin throwers for the extreme version of what Ali is talking about, and the. Baseball throwers, for a less extreme version. Watch their right hips and plant (left) legs, and knee angles. Th go;d swing is no different
And keep that lead shoulder down as long as possible?
Is there an optimum angle of attack for each iron or one for all irons together?
I can swing a 7 iron at 75 to 80 mph but can't get the ball speed over 100 mph and get no distance. On the course I tend to sweep the ball with little to no divot. My launch monitor says my AoA is around -2 and I usually hit the club face in the middle. I carry my 7 iron around 140 yds. I do struggle with transferring to my left side. HELP
I'm also a subscriber
Something is definitely off. I’m around 70 mph with 7i and usually carry my 7i 140 with 5k spin and 44* descent angle. What is your smash factor ?
Sounds like not enough forward shaft lean. If you can move your low point further forward you will steepen AoA and deloft. Then more distance. Thanks for subscribing.
@erock1070 usually around 1.25
@@exrog This video is exactly for you - for reference, my smash is 1.38-1.4 with my 7-iron (I'm a huge de-lofter) - my 7-iron swing speed is 85mph with a 32-degree 7-iron - it produces a carry of 173. With your smash that low, you are doing exactly what is shown in this video - i.e. coming into impact, your club is way open - and your brain then tells your hands, in a last-minute attempt, to dump all the loft in an attempt to square the face in order to play a functional shot. You need to work on getting that face angle to match your spine, even exaggerate it being even more toe down, when you are at 2nd parallel coming into the ball - film your swing until you are able to see it.
This is a very helpful drill. My question is can I use this drill for the driver as well?
I have subscribed, but I'm not getting email notifications of new releases from you
You just need to click on the notification bell.
Why is it that, although I’ve subscribed and rang the bell, yet I never receive any notifications?
I'm not sure
Hi Ali, If I could hit an 8 iron 160 yards in the direct I wanted, I would throw all my 6 and stronger clubs in the bin. Provided I could keep 3 puts+ off my card, an 18 handicap would make me happy. I am in my eighties and my hcp. is 42.6. 15 years ago it was 20 and falling. Then age hit me. Ugh
I don't even keep score anymore. Almost at the point of quitting!
@@jmack619 don’t give up, anyone can do that….
@@rondarling751 yes. Quitting for the winter here in east canada. Maybe next year !!!!
Lol off rip didn’t mean to make a good shot but shoot it still went str8 😅
How the heck is he getting 155 yards CARRY with 8 iron hitting it so lightly?
Long levers, kinematic chain, long force train. it’s all in the timing.
I think the technology is killing the art of golf teaching... the brain can't get around those numbers that the scene shows and it's boring to watch. Real good instructors teach by watching their students and don't need all that technology.
Tech just gives factual feedback, a good coach uses their experience and knowledge to make the required changes, in my opinion.
