This stuff is amazing; ie, combining the trackman info with explanations. Like the smash factor, and the smash factor increasing as the loft angle decreases. You can learn more with a few minutes of this information than just being told verbally. Great video.
This has been my biggest issue for over a year. Great video! 3/4 swings doesn’t feel like I can play those par 3s correctly, but with efficiency and slower club speed (control), I’m pretty confident this would work. Currently, I’ve been using full swing and I’m adding a lot of loft based on the fact that my ball is launching high and I’m only getting 130 yards with a 7 iron (140 on a good day).
We’ll see and try it out though.
Great video! Your explanation of keeping the knuckles down helped me create more effective lag in my swing. As a result I am beginning to get more consistent and solid strikes and compressing the ball - smash factor. At age 69 I don’t have the strength I use to have, but I am getting more carry & distance with my irons than when I was in my 40’s. I am forever grateful!
Thanks man, great video. A lot of guys need to hear this message - not just the delofting at impact part, but the "it's OK to have a slower swing speed and adjust your equipment to suit" part. Half the struggle I see people have in golf is unrealistic ideas of their actual abilities. One of the things I love about golf is that if you are brave enough to be honest with yourself (or secure enough to take on feedback from a golf professional) you will see improvement, whatever level you are at. Cheers mate!
I liked the first shot with the half swing, Ali. 135 used to be my norm in my younger days. I am 63 now and lost 10 yards due to age and swing speed. I have been messing about with my grip to compensate, trying the interlock, bassball, or the overlap idea. I have gone back to my original interlock. My club pro discovered that I was strangling the club yesterday lol . It was affecting the release. I was better this morning. Thanks for this.
It was the introduction of metal shafts which led Byron Nelson to develop the modern two-plane swing in the 1930s which allows a golfer to bend and load the shaft by pulling the hands down (with right side bend) at the top of the backswing which first maxes out radial deviation (thumb back to forearm) then bends and loads the club shaft like a leaf spring before changing the direction of the club mass.
That bending of the shaft, if maintained until just before impact, delivers much more compressive force to the ball. But to maintain that bend in the shaft the physics requires the hand to keep moving faster than the shoulder turn is moving the hand and club head together. That is accomplished by progressively increasing side bend as the hands drop, why with really good ball strikers you see their spines curving and head leaning out towards the ball at impact.
So that is why don’t want to swing the shoulders in the downswing any faster than you can side bend to keep the hands moving faster than the shoulders. If the shoulders catch up with the hands the bend created in the shaft at the top with “the magic move” which loads it disappears and with it the ability to whack the ball further and higher. Golfers with longer torsos / shorter legs than average for height an advantage because they can side bend easier and more. The more the golfer can side bend the faster they can move the shoulder while still keeping the hands accelerating faster than shoulders to maintain the bend in the shaft - applied physics.
Side bend is the real “magic move” because if the golfer is allowing the club force to pull the hands up to the top (not bench pressing with right arm) it is difficult to pull the right arm back down. But side bend can be done independent of shoulder turn which will work to pull the hands down while the club force is still pulling the club head to the top in the opposite direction - how to get optimal loading of the shaft.
Great video, thank you Sir.. I struggle to get winded-up fully on the back swing and therefore play with a 3/4 swing.. Always believed that getting as much of the "sweet spot" on the ball is better than just trying to smash it. And also straight and "in play", rather than distance. One of my instructors many years ago told me to "just swing the club, don`t have a mindset of trying to hit the ball!!" Your video has just proven all of that.. 👍👍👍
Ever since you put a similar video on this topic out a few weeks ago, I've been swinging slower and absolutely CRUSHING my irons off the floor, either in the fairways, roughs, or tee-boxes. This technique actually gave me more confidence hitting off the floor on par 3's! This past weekend I gave this advice to a young fella I was playing with and by the end of the round he was a convert!
Great advise for anyone looking to hit the ball well.
Great content, Ali!
Hi Ali, I really enjoyed all of your videos. Do you have a great coaching style and presentation. One of the biggest things I struggle with is my low point tends to be behind the ball. Do you have any tips or ideas that I could incorporate into what you’ve just taught us so that I’m making good ball then ground contact consistently. Again thank you so much for all you do for everyone, excellent instruction. Cheers, Chris
This is precisely what my coach was teaching me last week. My 7 iron just launches the ball like a bullet off little more than a 3/4 swing. Great video. 👍
I like the way he uses both the seven iron and the five iron to demonstrate what he is explaining. Good clear and concise delivery of the lesson here.
lol
The video you made on not looking at the ball, changed my shots dramatically and with that I actually just started to swing slower. 👍😁👋
As you explain this, it makes me recall all the times I pulled out a club to just swing it easy and actually hit it further than I wanted to. Now I understand. Thank you!
Enjoyed it. I see where I am going wrong by rushing too much, not keeping the knuckles down, not delofting the club and hitting early to the right of the sternum. I will try to slow down the swing and hit to the left of the sternum. Thank you very much for the tips. Best wishes. Milan
Hi Ali great video I’ve been doing knuckles down but the problem I have is the ball goes hooking to the left any advice on this please.
Thanks
well explained Ali , i am struggling with hitting the low point behind the ball , every tip is welcome , greetings from Antwerp !
It's so true! I was swinging at 122 top mph and hitting my 1wood 280 tops and not straight! Now slowing to 114+- I hit between 280 to 320 much straighter now and consistently! Lessons taking video showing me next to pros that swing like I do helped me fix this issue get better!
Sounds like you need to be on tour.
@@mre_man LOL right if it was not for my long game short game and putting being so bad, I'd be there!!! But I'm trying to get better!!
Great lesson I have a shorter back swing now with hands at shoulder height I get same distance but more accuracy. I used to get the driver yips because my back swing became too long and my left arm collapsed not good!
By far the best set of golf instructional videos I've seen.
The previous video on this topic along with the grip change has totally transformed my game went from never scoring lower than 90 to 85 in consecutive rounds thanks
I need to try this ,, cheers
Good explanation of true principles. I think though that you could have substantially more power with your speed. You are snatching the club inside with your hands and swinging inside very fast with your arms. If you have less active hands and swing on a wider arc, you won't need to bow the wrist as much and throw your head up on the way to impact. If you shift your weight more entirely over the lead leg (head stays back toward center, of course until impact or later) and then feel as though the axis of horizontal rotation is more toward your lead side with your weight more over the lead foot through and beyond impact, then you will be able to cover the ball more with your chest, bow the wrist less and compress the ball more with more club face control. The faster you get the rotation axis forward, the more you can hit through the ball. By doing this you move the line along which the club is swinging, around your body faster which gives you more leverage through the low point of your swing. Your might even put some long irons back in your bag :-) Cheers.
Addendum: I just saw that you made a video (about the coin) a week earlier that basically showed exactly what I'm talking about and achieved much more punch in the iron shots. I would just say that you don't have to stay forward in order for this to work and can in fact take advantage of the momentum from a rearward shift and down cock of the wrists, but the secret is planting your weight correctly when you come back. If the post that you create with the lead leg on the way down does not support your hip rotation and trail arm delivery and uncocking precisely you will struggle to release well through impact. It is easy get the wrong distance from the ball with the hips or wrong degree of hip rotation at the point of full weight transfer and thus be well out of synch. In my experience, the hips need to feel closer to the ball than one might expect to get optimal results. Also, the longer the club the more you must wait through the weight transfer for the hips to have time to turn enough to get a maximal release due to the width of the arc.
Thanks, incredible. I have a short backswing to begin with, just a few swings and flushing everything. I’m low handicap but have always had consistency issues with my irons. Picked up 15-20 yards and don’t have the urge to come over the top.
Hello Tom! I’ve myself recently shortened my backswing ( 2 years ago) and I improved both consistency and accuracy with the same length.
I started with Titleist T100 irons, 5i-GW. I hit my 7i 165-170 yards, but my 5i was only getting maybe 5 yards further than my 6i (180-185 yards).
One way I was able to get around this, was getting the T200 5i, and I added a T300 4i. The added weight at the back/bottom of the more forgiving clubs, combined with the reduced loft, helped me get my 5i over 200 yards, with a medium to high flight.
Looking forward to trying this out on the range. Any chance of doing a slo-mo video to show your delofting at impact?
I set the video playback speed to .25 and it helps.
This is great, can't wait to practice. Would it apply to hybrids as well? I'm guessing yes since you did with the 7wood.
7wood lmao
Thank you! Took out my 3-4-5-6 and replaced them with fairway woods. Easier to hit with more distance.
Very good informative, I'll take it to the course today.
I need to learn this and take it to the course. My weakness is in trying to get as much speed out of the clubhead as possible, and it persists even tho I know slowing down my swing gets me more distance.
I need to get this demonstration into my subconscious.
Good demonstration. Thanx
This video has helped me so much with my game .. the nuckels down thing is a game changer for me for getting the out there way farther and swinging was Easter thank you 👍👍👍👍
I struggle with the same thing. This was the video I needed!
I like the technique, how do keep from hitting it left or smothering the ball. Start with slightly open face?
Excellent lesson. Thank you.
Smash factor is underemphasized in almost all golf videos. Thanks!
A variation on the swing fast, stop short drill which I prefer. Delivers better results and is useable on the golf course. Pretty much how Fleetwood hits an iron.3/4 swing, hit hard into the ball then follow through short. Promotes good ball striking and is easy to implement.
Mind is blown...excellent insight and instruction.
Hi Ali I am to be honest a bit confused. You did a video in the past about swinging the club slower and creating a good smash factor. Although after seeing your latest video it relates to speeding up the back swing to create a better shot . I am 64 yrs old and when I swing back too fast it seems to throw out of wack my whole swing movement. Can you advise me as to what I should concentrate on to achieve the best swing please.
One thing I found is with this method it is hard to get the ball stop on the green. I believe you would need a high spin ball to keep the ball on the green.
Hi Thomas! I don’t understand in wich way this method does affect the spin… All the good strikers deloft at impact. The amount of spin depends on the characteristics of the club. Could you tell me more please? Good day!
@@pjpcadet I play on pretty firm greens. If you come into the green with a low trajectory the ball tends to hit and run through the green with a low spin ball. I find that a higher spin ball increases the trajectory and helps it stop on these firm greens. I support the concept of shaft lean at impact, but I found I didn’t get enough loft with the lower spin ball and it would in most cases run through the green. So my assumption is you need spin and loft to stop on the greens I play on.
Ok with you Thomas. I play on very firm greens too. And I agree we both need back spin. However, my belief is that spin is delivered by the kind of club you play ( a blade with a standard 34 degrees loft for a 7 iron for instance) and the negative angle of attack. I say that but I unfortunately can’t stop the ball as well on my greens !! So I do agree with the high trajectory in our case. You’re right.
Does this concept apply through the bag, ie. hybrids, fairway woods etc?
Amazing stuff. Thank you very much!
Like this golf tip and will give this a try next time at the range
Does it matter what shaft I might have in my clubs, i.e., regular or stiff?
Great video Ali this one is exactly what I’ve been struggling with. I was adding loft to the irons and getting 130yds with a 7 iron. Once I started connecting correctly that shot went up to 157yds thanks for sharing P.S knuckles down 👏👏
I am having the SAME PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I used to hit a 7 iron 165! Now only 130! How did you fix it?! It’s seriously made the game so much less enjoyable
Question for you Ali on the golf range I've been on a trak man with 7 iron. Although my club speed has been between 77 and 80 my total distance has only been about 120 to 125 yards can you tell me why please ?
So you hit down with your 7 wood? I have the same g425 after your review
Hi Ali, we have been in touch earlier, but I am awaiting a knee operation. Can’t wait to be able to come and see you.
All the best.Jim
Sounds great! Hope the op goes well
Helpful video, thanks!
tight grip and early release are swing killers, late release and light grip coupled with a easy swing are key moves, most handicap golfers are not built like pro golfers so don't expect to swing with the same speed go with what you have and swing more consistently with feel and rhythm golf is not "how far" its "how many"
Yes they are But it’s the space between your ears that feels the opposite works🤣
No doubt about what you say @Bob!
Even low handicap players are not shaped like tour pros. A full swing with great speed needs to work hard every day with coaching. A 3/4 swing hitting the sweetspot is more efficient for average players and let them smile again on the course. In France , most of the teachers try to build a swing that is too complicated for amateurs and this causes frustration. I like your point of view. That’s the key !
PS I use the half swing all the time now. As you demonstrated, you are partially locked unless you move the wrists to create the full swing.
With a 5 iron the ball position should be slightly further forward so club wouldn’t be as shaft forward as a 7 iron at impact. Been working on this myself
Does this apply to the driver as well or is just irons?
Excellent thanks, never hit the ball purer. Wish I knew this years ago
great, needed this into
What a difference for my strike at the ball😊 Thank you very much, sir😊
Happy to help
New subscriber - really liked this instruction thanks Ali
Awesome, thank you!
Can this be used only with irons and hybrids?
Great driill keep them coming.:-)
Excellent.👍
If using different 7 iron loft 34 change to 28, will get the same result? Because change swinning not easy.
Thanks .i use my 7 wood on par 5.= More accurate than my 4 wood .
First time i have heard of smash factor. Video makes sense.
Did this at the weekend, just trying to slow the swing down to a 75% swing (almost a punch). Added 10-20 yards and a lot of consistency to the shots. Just good to see the logic to it all.
The consistency is really the bread and butter of this
Does ball placement make a difference?
Do you encourage a pause at the top of the backswing?
Not ideally, the club should be completing the backswing while the lower body is already starting the downswing.
REQUEST: Could you please add your swing in slowmotion so it is possible to really analyse your swing. Good video.
Thank you trying to deloft and putting more weight on my left side
Great tempo
3 years ago I dislocated my left shoulder and broke some ribs. I couldn’t make more than a 3/4 swing. I had a tournament I wanted to play in and went anyway. I won. I just bunted it in the fairway, took a couple more clubs and controlled my distances and got up and down a lot, and made a couple of long putts on par 5’s. Of course once I healed up I started swinging for the fences and absolutely suck again. Recently, I’ve started doing this again and changed the bag to 3,5,7,9 woods and 6H. Practiced the more controlled swing today and played well.
Oh yes and straight! 👍
Great lesson, I’ve had many of my friends who are good golfers say the same thing, swing slower go further
absolutely Bob TIMING is key the golf swing is not a race the game is not "how far" its "how many".
I feel like you made this video just for me!
As good golfers get forward shaft lean in order to de-loft the club at impact, why do manufacturers not just make, eg. a 26 deg 7 iron? Wouldn’t that have the same effect?
There are sets with irons that strong, but it does cause gapping problems and the longer irons are pretty much useless
you need to compress the ball to get the right ball flight, distance and spin so as you suggest 26 deg would drop even more with the correct attack/swing so your ball flight, spin and distance would be out
@@Bob-nu3xe I understand that but the question is whether there is more compression with, eg a 7 iron with 35 deg of static loft but 27 deg of delivered loft (due to forward shaft lean which many find very hard to achieve) than with a 5 iron with 27 deg of static AND delivered loft (ie. no forward shaft lean)? Shouldn’t the flight and spin be the same, assuming the same angle of attack?
Is 7 hybrid same as 7 wood
Hit the ball FARTHER...as in distance. You can work on this FURTHER...as in more practice.
Does this apply at all to the Driver? I’m so confused about how iron swing and driver swings relate to each other
Yes it applies to driver. There's one basic difference between driver and iron. With irons you are hitting down on the ball. With driver you are ideally hitting up on the ball. Any other differences are derived from this and the length of the club
@@adnanshoukat1793 thank you
If you’re delofting a 7iron for smash factor why not just hit a 6iron? What are the other benefits of this method?
A 7 iron is easier to hit than a 6 iron.
A delofted 7 iron Will result in a more solid collision then a more upright 6 iron. Irons are designed to be struck with some loft taken off.
Would be great to have in person lessons with you
I'm based at Herons' Reach in Blackpool if you are ever up that way.
Great video, your instruction technique is about perfect for me, comprehensive but easy to understand. BTW, I got here with a recommendation from "The Average Golfer" channel.
very good sir
Thank you
I'll try next round
this guy would make a great 1st drop! this is cricketing advice too. hahaha!
I have tried this. I topped and dubbed
How to contact the ball?.
I really liked this video and makes perfect sense. But in reality though aren’t you just changing the angle of your 7 iron to be more that of a 5 iron. I know when I hit the ball like this it feels really good and I’m much more likely to take a nice divot in front of the ball. That’s the real advantage for me
no Bill you are in effect striking a 7 iron correctly
Is there any difference between bowing the lead wrist and just using a stronger grip?
A stronger grip is actually more cupped at address. it's more down to correct movement during the swing.
Great video 👍
At least Ali hits similar distances with the same irons as I do, unlike other golf pro videos on here.
We need a slow motion view of your swing, especially at impact
it's all about the speed of the club head at the ball
That’s me in the beginning 😂
I hit my 5 iron over 200 yards but I really do 🤣
It's the only club I can hit constantly....I'm thinking of using it along with putter 8 iron and sand wedge only I think my game will improve....too many clubs can cause disaster 🤣🤣🤣👍
This is very interesting. At 73 years old my swing speed is already very slow not by choice, this should help me to be more proficient
please include attack angle.
This is my tree save chips went further than those on the fairway 😂
👍
lol you didn't ' go at it ' like most people I see (coming out of their shoes 😂)
..but seriously, Ali has an uncanny ability to adjust to exact swing speeds like I've never seen before.
Why wouldn't a slower swingspeed player use a stiffer shaft instaed of changing their swing and not be flexible enough to take a full swing?
Tempo tempo tempo.......as usual spot on your videos. It definitly works. Don't rush the swing yet control it nicely, still discipline to maintain.
always had me baffled as to why my low chippy 5 iron from under trees flies 200 yards when not intended 😂
Lmao. No chit. Me too. And when I tried to hit it hard and far It wouldn’t go anywhere. Sometimes this game makes us look silly stupid. Hahaha 😂😂
for irons, going far is not necessarily a good thing. Good players send ball high with a lot of back spin, so the ball will stay on the green.
Another word other than smash would be compressing the ball on impact
