The reason recreational golfers don’t generate pro level swing speeds is not knowing how to release the club around the hands in the downswing and how to extend and stay in balance in the finish. Until you can learn swing the club on a well balanced “groove” finish the swing in perfect balance the reflexive brain is going to try the steer club with the hands with mixed results.
I had balance problems in my swing until I read Hogan’’s Five Lessons a dozen years ago and actually tried what he suggested. The most helpful part of the book was the learning ladder he suggested: do not attempt to anything beyond and ‘extension-to-extension’ 1/4 swing until being able to hit them consistently straight and feel in balance at the finish. Then you increase the swing arc to 1/2, then 3/4, then Full stopping whenever a balance problem creeps back in. At is will because the kinetic energy in the club head causing the loss of balance increases EXPONENTIALLY as velocity increases linearly. That is why pros usually swing at 70-80% effort; because swinging at 100% is likely to cause balance / accuracy problems.
Given that there are 13 lofted clubs in the bag is rather silly to try to hit a PW 150 yards and 7i over 200. What is more important for scoring is being able to hit an approach shot with an iron, creating enough spin loft to predictably shape it, which increases the odds of keeping it on the green and moving toward the hole after landing.

This tip just clicked for me, added 20-30ms on all my irons while having 140kmh effortless swings thanks so much Kevin!
My wife sent me this video 3 weeks ago after I totally lost my swing and gonna be honest. This video, of the countless I’ve watched on TH-cam and IG, is the one that spoke to me. I went to the range the next day with these thoughts in my mind and never hit it so pure, effortlessly, lofted, and straight. Thank you, KHJ! You saved my golf game and I have a swing and swing thoughts to fall back on if I hit a few bad shots. Now I watch this video everyday (no lie). 😅😂
@@giaovu5811 so glad I can help out! Hope to work with you sometime in the future 👍🏼
Really appreciate the video. This is great information and perfectly aligned with what my current coach teaches. There are so few people that teach the golf swing correctly and it’s refreshing to see this type of content. Wishing you nothing but success!
@@nobodyimportant76467 thank you for the kind words 😊
I can say this lesson works. I smoked some range balls today. Thank you for the lesson.
Gonna really work on this! Thank you for such clarity.
Kevin, this is a great feel to incorperate. trying to hold on to these angles was killing my swing distance and consistancy. once i understood this concept it really changed the way i think about my swing. i almost feel like im casting the club but in reality becuase im also turning at the same time the swing releases properly through impact. Great lesson to understand here!
@@Agogeify that’s great news! We want to naturally release the club instead of holding on 👍🏼
I like the way you Express what you thinking while you swinging. Now you need to let us know what are you thinking to hit that ball clean with the same swing
This is probably one of the least articulated, and most important keys to better ball striking. Well done.
I largely agree with you on this, bu there is also a certain art to learning what lag to hit the ball with, in the middle of releasing the club and therefore when exactly *to* release as a function of club speed. Not enough lag at impact and you either blade the ball or shovel it forward with the clubface sliding under the ball, too much lag and either you hit big divots or hit the ball at too low of a launch-angle. You don't want to hit much if any of a divot and you definitely have to be careful not to blade the ball. That all comes from having functionally-sufficient lag at impact during the process of releasing the club.
Good releasing is definitely an acquired skill and you have to build into it to do it right.
Unfortunately it's just not all technique. You have to have the muscle-power behind it also...the club doesn't swing itself just because you drop the head down out of the backswing. So the other half is to get swing-power into the ball without getting wild in the swing. The way that I found the release timing was to hold that wrist angle through impact until I got good strikes and then it kinda came naturally to me, to realize when to release. You need to hold lag until you get your shot down holding lag and you can feel the release-point essentially from experience.Your thing here is that you are dropping your hands and increasing lag in the downswing and therefore you need a lot more time to get the clubhead back to the ball in your release, so for you it's almost one continuous motion. The point is that anything in terms of a golf swing will work as long as you square the clubface decently, get the blade under the midline of the ball, hit the ball at a decent lag and don't swing across the ball too much. If you don't do that you're simply not going to hit a good shot. You obviously have that all down.
It doesn't matter how far you hit it, long, short, intermediate, whatever, if you're not hitting good strikes then you're not going to hit good shots. You're at best hitting something playable. Many people play just fine with playable shots. It's not like your swing and your shots have to be optimum to play good golf. They definitely cannot be poor and play good golf. Hitting poor strikes and poor shots trying to hit the ball "long" is not the way to play good golf. We all learn this sooner or later, and if you really care to play good golf, then you sort it all out. That doesn't mean that you ever actually do hit 7-iron 200 yards. Maybe that's just not the game that you're destined to play. Some of us were destined to play that game. #1 rule of golf is that you have to pay the green-fees. #2 is that you need to learn your limitations on the course or they will be forcibly taught to you. Doesn't mean that you won't grow and evolve as a golfer. Hitting superhuman irons RELIABLY is definitely going to wait until you become a superhuman golfer. Hitting them UNRELIABLY will keep you from achieving even mediocrity.
When you can't even predict what line they will land on much less what distance?
Then you have a decision to make. Do you go for distance or go for the line.
Cause I'll tell you, it sucks to hit a shot the exact distance that you want but 5 deg left and into the shoulder sand-trap. Or 5 deg to the right and into a lake. It never looks good to spray your shots all over the course.
This is why I don't make too much out of distance claims.
I need to see where the balls are landing to be impressed with someone's swing.
I went to pro about 10 years ago to see why I had no distance. He said "You have no release". He told me to start releasing the golf club way up at the beginning of my downsing. Kind of contrary to what most people think, but it worked very well for me.
Revolutionarily simple stuff here. Keep it coming! At 8 minutes. It's pretty short, but could be even shorter I think. Thanks for the lesson!?
@@go4jackson simple is the best way to go especially on the course!
Woah!! @@kevinhwangjr himself!! You're a legend mate! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!!
@@go4jackson no problem thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Great explanation 👌
Once again, thinking and doing less means a better ball strike.
A couple of weeks in now and I have to dial way back what I percieve to be effort. Thanks to you I now have to recalibrate my whole bag. Oh bother. :)
@@HVACKABOOM just trying to keep everything simple 👍🏼
Bs, new 7i is an old 5/6i and an 1” or 2” longer shaft when compared to what I used 40 years ago then modern balls while adding a huge club face with perimeter weighing allowing over swinging you get the extra 30-50 yards.
I would kill to hit my 7 iron 200 😱. That distance is just unfair.
Would it be possible to move the camera a bit lower? The angle cuts off the rear foot position. I love your videos by the way!
Very cool discussion of concept. I'm gonna try this!
@@Chris_Traynor let me know how it goes 👍🏼
I have enjoyed each of your “hit 7i 200 yards” videos. In a previous video, you also recommended speeding up the swing from about waist high. But how do I get the club to that position?
Great video, definitely going to try this swing thought. I average 170, I have with really swing hard hit 193 but it’s definitely not as smooth as yours.
I am usually a long hitter, but I recently crashed and burned 🙂 The right elbow was getting away from the body. Your video got me back on track. I will be 60 in a few months and hit my 9 iron around 170, 8 iron- 185, 7 iron 200+, etc. The key was maintaining supination of the right forearm THROUGHOUT the swing. Is that what you do? Also, there is no independent arm movement or very little. Let the turn move the arms for the most part. Also, great job on showing the progression of the wrist cock.
Dude you can see in the first 10 seconds of the video that that is not what he does. He doesn't keep his elbow tight and he doesn't keep his arm straight. It isn't coming from his hips or from a big, wide swing-arc.
He has a nice, hot release.
Otherwise just an average, garden-variety swing.
Not trying to crush the ball and falling back away from it, no obvious issues or weirdness in either timing or movement.
Just a solid swing with a nice, powerful release. Obviously making good contact.
But he's not playing in sim mode, so you can't see where his shots land.
What are the lofts and shaft lengths (steel, graphite?) of your clubs?
Your 9 iron can have the loft of a 7 players iron.
And what is your dispersion?
@@Wesley_Juakali I switch between the Callaway Apex Pro 21 - steel AMT black shafts and the MP-20 blades AMT white steel shafts. The MP-20s are longer than most clubs not because of the lofts 7-iron 34 degrees but because of the penetrating ball flight. The 'Flow Tapered Blade' has some deceiving extra weight at the top of the blade, raising the CG and creating the penetrating flight. Years ago, I played the Mizuno T-Zoid True irons, and those were also long. Occasionally, I still put the 2 iron from that set in my bag. I have a distinct advantage, being 6' 2, 200 lbs. Check out the old softball video on my channel.
@@Wesley_Juakali you're not going to hit a 9 iron 200 yds if you can't hit a 7 iron 200 yds.
I'm 106 and i carry my 9 iron 225. Those are rookie numbers you have
I've definitely done that club toss (at 3:42) for other reasons. :)
In terms of learning the supinated release do you see any usefulness with a left handed frisbee throw (for right handed golfer)?
@@golfdoc1950 absolutely that’s exactly the feel we want!
I'm a fan of your videos!
What shaft do you use in your irons?
@@b.l.275 for my normal clubs I use a project X 6.5, this club was just a club at the studio
I really struggle and get my whole body involved, after starting with only being able to use my arms. Now I use too much body and have a slow club head and distance for my efforts. The only time I can get really good speed or feeling is if I literally tossed the club on a practice swing with my trail hand and finish the swing with my left. Cant hit a ball like that though
Great video ... glad I found this ...!
@@andy1or2 thank you for watching!
Great video. Is there a video where you explain supination of the wrists? Thanks
Do you bend your left leading arm and do you cock your left wrist? I anyway improved my distance with the instructions. Thanks
definitely going to try this, just tried in the back yard ha. I will report back with my findings sir!!
@@burlymugg let me know how it goes!
The lofr of the 7 iron now as the loft of the old 5iron and the clubs are much lighter now.
Great stuff!!!
@@danielk1898 thank you!
Kevin, do you feel like you're throwing with your right or left hand
.. or both, I get max power using both
It takes an explosive throwing action to throw the ball with the club!
Maybe it would be good to tell us what your loft is on your 7i.
Hang on a minute? The PGA tour average distance for a 7 iron is 180 yards. So my question is why are the tour pros not trying to hit them 210 to maximise their distances?
What about the direction after impact. I'm all to the left now 😬
A+❤
Is it true for driver swing too?
Kevin i have been watching your videos on this for months to try and put this in my swing and have never been able to hit the ball one time doing this, can you maybe do a face on view of this release? Do i release the club from the top of my swing?
Im totally confused on this and now i am struggling with my swing all together.
Any drills maybe?
Thanks for trying!!😢
un don't want to throw the club further you want it to spin more in flight
You need to explain to them like. If you lower body, it's not in the correct position. You cannot do what you say. So is your lower body point that out and the people watch your video will understand it more. I like your swing but if you can point this out more people will benefit from your video
Exactly
slow hand, fast hand?
Which is the most important thing for golfer, distance, stability, or curve? Only pro knows
I find it bizarre that the comments are fixated on the distance numbers rather than the technique. His distance numbers are irrelevant.
🎯
Forward shaft lean is what is wrong with modern golf.
Show the 60 yards of hook ball flight on that 205yd 7iron 😂😂😂
Bro hits his 7 150 like he’s chipping 20 yards….I look like I am swinging as hard as I can and I might get 140 carry if the gods look down pleasingly on me…. 😢😢😢
You may not be as long as him but his 7iron is not your 7iron.A friend of mine got new clups.He is two clubs longer.There much stronger
Guys I need help!! I don’t have anymore golf clubs to throw!!! 😂🤣
Theory is nice and i bet many of you have started the wild imagination by just watching the video right. I am telling you it's not going to happen. The imagination and reality are too different thing. You need a physical coach for this technique. Either you will able to experience the few first strike and thereafter everything will be falling apart..
Get out on the golf course and you aint hitting a 7 iron anywhere near 206 yrds 😂😂
Amazing what the numbers can do when you alter the settings on a trackman
For real
niiiiiice
Why don’t videos like this use some slow motion?
You can play the video at a slower speed. The .5 and .25 speed work great for me
The margin of error of your device is plus or minus 42.8 yards. So I really doubt that u r hitting a 200 Yards with a 7 iron.
Doubtful this is a standard 7 l, and that club head speed visually doesn’t look fast enough. Thinking more like 165/70
@@oneone9884 what type of speed would you think is necessary to hit the ball 200 yards with a 7 iron?
No hard feelings, but I’m also of the same opinion that the swing doesn’t seem to be generating enough club head speed for 205.7 yards TOTAL distance even with bounce and roll, it might be closer to 105+42.8
Is that a 28 degree 7 iron lol
I lack speed cuz I’m slow.
So go out and practice throwing your golf club 30 yards
You're quite demeaning towards amateur golfers. It has been my experience that most "pros" are not great golfers either. Tour pros that stay on the tour are usually very good golfers.
don’t think so
The shaft looks a bit special brother 🧐
Come on - that’s absurd for a 7 iron and not achievable for most. It’s because of this nonsense with delofted clubs that we are all going to be using foam golf balls soon.
Stamp a 7 on a 4 iron, easy distance bro
So are you just going around finding things you can debunk? What’s the benefit? Just tell us where your channel is…
Depends on his loft of the club and also the altitude setting on his trackman
At the end of the day if the video title replaced 200yds with 150 nobody would click on it.
He makes multiple videos like this just to get views. He must not have enough in person lesson to make ends meet…
This is stupid, we are totally happy with 150 yd 7 iron. We have clubs for 290 yds.
If u hit 7 iron 150, then ypu got no club to hit 290- id guess you drive a ball 240 tops
Then why aren't you on tour ????
So all people who hit i7 200 should be on tour, yo need to tighten your loose screws
@@christiandgreat8127 If all you can do is take the literal meaning; no wonder you make fatuous comments.
No need to hit your 6 iron that far...
