Reed Howard! A Single Plane Swinger!
Fun trivia; Westwood writes his numbers on his iron heads. I definitely plan to do this once I sort my swing out.
Hahaha… I’ve always thought that was for when his wife caddies for him.
I know it’s nothing new but it’s uncanny how much Reed looks like his father.
@2:53, this is absolutely wrong information.
LKD is the worst
His point it if you are hitting the ball 150 with an 8 iron and it's going left sometimes and right sometimes the low point for each shot is identical. Now focus on face angle and you have a consistent shot.
How is this wrong information? Of course, I could be wrong but he’s simply saying with irons it’s important to control your distances.
@@arthurford829Because distance is the biggest correlation to scoring, last I heard. It's true for me. I average about 245 with driver for the season. Last week, I was in the flow state and averaged 272. Shot even par on the front 9 which I've never done before and my PR 3 over for the round. I was also grooving my irons but I've been hitting my irons well since I got them about a month ago.
I think it's equally important to have good driver, iron game, short game and putting. My driver, irons, wedges and putter have all been heavily modified and customized in the past two years and I'm close to max ability.
I'm pretty sure I will never average 272 off the tee again in my life unless I hit the gym and do some serious speed training and life may become too busy for that.
@@lkae4 all good stuff but I think you’re missing the point. He’s not talking about distance off the tee. That is by far the biggest indicator of your potential. He’s talking about precision with irons. Specifically, getting the distance correct. When the pros miss left and right of their target it’s their instructor’s fault but when they miss short or long it’s their caddie’s fault for giving them the wrong yardage. The point is that for most of us having a better idea of how far our irons actually fly will pay off.
This video is not it. Mark Crossfield's break 80 podcast is 1000x better.
Which is the least likely skill recreational golfers can improve.
Spend what little practice time you have improving getting up and down.
This is low golf IQ here.
