Amazing drill I have been struggling the last week ( every shot is all over the place) I used this today on the range and within 3 balls I started hitting balls straight and far !!! Thank you 😊
I’ve been spinning out a lot with poor ball contact. Took this drill to the range and crushed my irons. I honestly think this might be the best tip for an amateur golfer on the internet. I’ve tried the coin drill and towel drill but neither work as good as this.
Great to hear you loved the drill Mike!
Ok, from now on, you are officially, my favorite youtube golf instructor. 😁
Concise & to the point, one of the best faff free iron striking drills I've seen on YT, subscribed. 👍🏻
Thanks Mark!
I love your teaching. Your shallowing video is plain and simple magic. You take the hardest thing about the swing---shallowing the club----and reduce it to three simple observations. And gave me a framework to shallow the swing once and for all. FINALLY. I am amazed at your wondrous gift and generosity as a fabulous teacher of this game we love. THANK YOU.
Perfect 'back to basics' lesson Jon. Getting this right and hearing that 'tick' noise off the face of the club is very rewarding. Thanks for reminding us of this 👍
My pleasure Bob. It’s easy to get caught up on the intricacies of the swing, but ball first contact is a non negotiable
Right I’ve watched hours, probably months worth of different TH-cam vids from loads of instructors but I have to say this fella is by far the most honest and useful at giving the best advice to the basic golfer like myself who has tried every trick in the book to improve my golf, and the latest cheesy yank instructors trying to reel u in to their “online improvement course’s/scams” with their 30min advert when alls they’re trying to do is milk the basic golfers when this fella tells u all u need to know for free…. He’s magic
So glad I found this channel it might be the best golf channel on TH-cam. As a new golfer so often I find myself standing over the golf ball with 100 cues running in my mind about my swing which makes me play so much worse. Whenever I remember that the most important thing is contact I straighten myself out. I'm going to be practicing this drill on the range for a while. Thank you for this!!
Nice little tip. And putting emphasis on how important it is.
hi not sure if its been mentioned on previous comments buts some years ago Bobby Clampett did a book/system based on his research into ball turf impact, he found elite pro golfers such as yourself, low point was 3 to 4 inches in front of the ball !! and as that low point impact position moved towards the ball and eventually behind it, the handicap of the golfer increased, in fact even low single figure handicappers were often hitting behind the ball, cheers and thanks for the great drill
Thank you Jon. Your ball first drill has changed my game dramatically. I have tended to “fat the ball” for years. I have put the cart before the horse. I realize how to lower my contact point.
My pleasure Jim! Great to hear the video has helped!
Subscribed !
This man is a excellent teacher.
Simple yet precise advise - thanks mate! I’ll be giving it a go for sure.
Amazing results!! I hit the ball so solid during warmup that I took out to the course and used the same set up with fantastic results. So glad I came across your channel...........I also like how you approach teaching with a no nonsense, no sugar coated or quick fix claims..............just BALL TURF or you dont improve.......im all in and lots of Aloha brah!!!
Thanks bud! I’m glad you like my approach to teaching! Ball then turf first 👍🏼
I have recently discovered your channel and it is GREAT !!!.....one of my main problems is " topping " 75% of my iron shots....I am now going to work on getting my weight shifted much earlier in my swing...thanks much............
Love the channel and all the top advice Cheers
such a great drill thanks so much
100% Agree with this. If you can't control the low point of the swing then golf isn't going to be fun for you so so important.
Spot on! Ball then turf first 🤙🏻
What a brilliant way to teach. I will try it first thing tomorrow morning. I love watching your videos. Thank you very much.
Your videos are excellent! Thank you!
You're a Stack and Tilter like it or not mate lol. Point being, maybe not intentionally but a lot of golfers and especially older golfers like Hogan incorporated a lot of these same fundamentals that you're brilliantly demonstrating. Unfortunately I grew up in the X Factor era and had enough swing thoughts for 3 players. This is gold nugget stuff 👍
Thanks Jon, this is a great drill. Like many others I have been struggling with this for ages. I knew what I should be doing but couldn’t put it into practice. It’s such a simple drill but it gets your body to feel the right way to strike the ball. My distance has improved by a long way.
Best drill I've seen yet for hitting the ball first! Thank you!
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Love this JC I do it with the driver now, amazing results, when are you back on the course sensei I enjoyed that even more, thanx again JC
Thanks so much for the video. Weight shift and ball-then-turf contact has been my number one frustration. Worked on the drill tonight. Hit about twenty with drill, then several with regular ball placement. Did that many times. Filmed each swing with Liveview. Amazing results! Also, thanks for sharing how much this much be practiced to become ingrained. Love your videos and really appreciate your desire to help us fledgling old golfers! Great guy.
Awesome to hear! Keep up the good work!
So simple yet so effective wicked video thanks
Right on! Informative and inspiring. Love the simplicity and effectiveness of the drill. 👍
Glad you liked it bud!
Went to the range the day after seeing this video to practise the drill and in my opinion its an excellent routine, it definitely helped me to shift my weight further forward. Thank you Jonathan
When you hit behind the ball at 2:20 you clearly showed how what looked like a pretty good swing can still lead to bad contact. That was an excellent demonstration of the easiest way for ball then turf contact 👍👍
Jon, why didn’t I think of that? Great thought, better drill. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks again, mate.
Fantastic video, you’re phenomenal
Jon, I'm new to your channel. Love this drill and the alignment stick in front of the right knee to stop early extension drill. Brilliant!
Pure truth. When I would coach myself to “swing easy” my lower body always slowed down and my upper body sped up and contact suffered badly. A proper swing thought is “ commit the lower body by opening that lead hip first” as you described here. That has been a more successful swing thought. Thank you.
Good Vid. Thank you
Great lesson this, tomorrow nights session is now planned
Good reality check! Thanks for the drill as well, can't wait to incorporate this one. 🤘
Glad you liked it Conor 🤙🏻
Great stuff . I really need to work on my iron game!
Great tip JC. Thanks for all your valuable tips.
Glad you liked it bud 🤙🏻
Great drill tips
Thank you for this video! Along with this drill, during real shots I don't ground my club. I keep about a mm off the ground prior to the backswing...and I focus on the target side of the ball. I never look at the back of the ball. Flush ball then turf hits!
Nice drill and it actually works. Thanks for the drill.
you are absolutely spot on.Good work, you are one of the best teachers online
Thanks Stefano! 🤙🏻
Just did this drill prior to our weekly comp. I am a 18 handicap and we play stableford. Last week I shot a 17 and struggled with consistency. After doing this drill I shot a 31 and won a closest to the pin on a par 3. Regained lost distance and accuracy. Great tip!
My biggest fault after 50 years of golf. The only thing that is consistent is my inconsistency. I know your drill works. My brain doesn’t react the same way. Terrific video that is so easy to understand. Thanks
gotta say J, you hit the nail on the head with everything wrong with my golf swing. these are really good tips for beginners. I just picked up golf a year ago and have broken 90 twice. these tips are sure to help. thanks mate
Glad you enjoyed it Stevo!
Preachin it JC love it
Haha thanks bud!
Great drill.
Always the best!
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Spot on! Did the drill several times. Ball flight higher & longer. Thanks much!!
Glad you liked it Stuart!
OK, I'm subscribed and looking forward to your tutelage . Thanks
Glad to have you aboard Randy!
Excellent
Brilliant 👍 going to try this tomorrow 🤞🤞
Have a fun time with it Steve!
I am going to practice this today. Thanks!!!
Have a fun time practicing 🤙🏻
Brilliant presentation! This has been the missing link in my game of golf. Are you available for private lessons?
Choice instruction. Thanks J! 🇨🇦♥️
Glad you enjoyed it bud 🤙🏻
Best tip ever... for me.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with my current progress to be honest. I started golf in May 2021 and I’ve been working on all sorts but not ever working on impact. I can’t hit an iron now to save my life 😆 but I can drive a ball 265 yards straight… (done this today playing a friendly comp on hols in Spain 😆) I got my handicap the other week. I’m playing off of 39 at the moment 😩
I’m going to drill the sh*t out of this, I will be getting the same net as you at the end of this month and can’t wait to practice more and more.
This drill will be great for you Laurie!
Superb video Thank you
Thanks Lionel!
Your description at the beginning is me to a t , what a great video , I'm definitely going up the range tomorrow .
Have a great time at the range!
Great tip thanks!
Glad you liked it 🤙🏻
I needed this video, thanks. I will be trying this soon. Is this why Nicklaus played all shots off his left foot ?
Great Video, Thanks🏌🏼♂️😎
Thanks bud!
thankyou ! so much
🤙🏻🤙🏻
The basics ☝️👍
Like grip, stand and alignment🤷🏻♂️
Spot on Barney!
Thank you I needed this! Been hitting fat shots or balloon shots.
My pleasure bud 🤙🏻
Jon-this is a really good drill, thank you. Does this apply to the more lofted clubs, i.e. 9 iron, wedge?
Hi,good drill ,thank you sr.
My pleasure Robert!
Yes. For irons especially, aim point (lowest point on the arch) is ahead of the ball. BUT Don't forget about your core rotation. If you're too armsy, if if you're aiming ahead of the ball, you could easily ground out the club and hit fat because you're not rotating and getting your hips outta the way.
Great drill. Important to not shift weight forward and toward the ball though. Just toward the target..parallel to the ball
Get your shift together, man!
Thank you I needed this! Been hitting fat shots all day!
My pleasure, get that body shifting 🤙🏻
Gonna try this tomorrow…….I’ve been massive shifting my weight too much due to a back injury so find it hard to get my hips turning but feel like this drill will help
I'm late to the party on this one ... You sure have a way with words! Thanks for sharing ... BTW ... It really helps like you have done in this video to see you swinging face on ... especially when you go at it full speed ...
Liked this drill
Awesome
I was once told to make sure you hit the ground...but just after the ball NOT before .....Great lesson your giving here .
Thanks bud!
Unconventional drill that no one taught it except you, but looks effective. Cannot wait to try to improve my game. Thanks.
I do shift my weight front of the ball but I think my swing does not hit turf / mat after; what happens is the ball goes pretty high but not as fast and long as I want it to. Could be due to my slow swing speed, but I'm gonna master this before working on swing speed. Cheers for the drill - will try it out on the range
Can’t wait to get back to basics and try this. Started in October and just wanted to go for the perfect swing rather than strike it pure
Striking it pure is priority, as a perfect swing doesn’t exist
@@jchowngolf I don’t get the perfect rotation as I’m a slightly larger guy but I love your simple tips
Possible to catch still picture of iron face position contact with ball upon hitting. I want to see the angle of contact and where the ball touch?
There are 2 other reasons people hit behind the ball. Yes,weight shift is one of the most common ones. The other 2 is right arm early straighten, which a lot of teacher talks about. The 3rd is early break down of right wrist. If u weight shift, don’t straight right arm, if u unhinge all your right wrist you will still hit the ground before ball.
Absolutely! Way more reasons than this, this is just the most common. Easier to make a shorter video discussing the one 👍🏼
That’s me . Focus on ball and 3 inches behind . Put tee in front 2 inches and all of a sudden great contact first. Not sure why yet
Can I hit the ground under the ball or must my first contact with the ground be in front of the ball?
You're preaching to the choir. For me personally ALL I care about is hitting the ball solid. If I toe it w/e, if I mis-club and the ball goes long/short w/e. I believe you can't play the best you possibly can without solid ball striking
Absolutely bud, ball first contact comes first!
I hope you can explain to me the subtle change of a swing dynamics when using a baseball grip instead of a conventional overlap grip??and if that effect the ball first turf second drill?
I have nerve damage and can only use a baseball grip. The fact that my right hand is a tad lower than my left makes me feel my shoulder is a tad lower and a more open chest at address ..as a result I get to the ball and turf at the same time or ball only , no turf, in most shots. your insight would be greatly appreciated>
Please help me - I love this drill as I am having all the problems with chunky and topping and also shanking - never have a divot etc.
When I do the drill I have better strikes than from the normal ball position. I can hit 5 good in a row from left foot - but when putting the ball back to normal all Problem still occure with aweful shots. How can I overcome this and still make the movement like the ball was left?
It’s also important to slow down your backswing so you have TIME to shift your weight forward. Or…start your weight forward before you finish the backswing. Sequencing is crucial.
Good video. I struggle a bit to shift my weight.
A fellow golfer pre- shifts his weight at address and swings from there. He is an excellent golfer. Would this work for other golfers? Or is this a rare case?
Thanks bud. You’ll be lacking some power via not using lateral force if you’re pre-setting and not shifting at all. Can result in nicely struck shots though but you will still need to shift
Does this work for driver also for getting weight shifting left? Obviously you would want to make amendments to ensure you were hitting up on the ball with driver?
You want weight shifting with driver yes, but I wouldn’t recommend this drill with driver. Ball position and lead side extension is the key to hitting up with driver
Great video J, totally agree impact is key and first thing you should be practicing.
Quick question if you don't mind helping, recently me and my friend have both started a TH-cam channel and just wondering on how long it took you to get a couple of 1000 following as thats when the channel starts to take off, I know Its different for everyone. Also any tips id be very greatful 🤗
Thanks bud! Not quite impact but more the importance of lateral shift. Great to hear! It took me about 8 months to get to 1000. Consistent uploading of videos is the key! Putting out 100 videos is the first step. If you need any help along the way, dm me on Instagram 👍🏼
@@jchowngolf yes totally agree J, again great video & good tips.
Me & Ollie both play off 6 and live in Swansea, maybe we could come up your way for a round and a chat 😎🤟. I'll definitely DM when we set up an insta account. Really appreciate it 🙏
Hi mate, this may sound odd but when I shift
my weight i hit it fat still any ideas?
Any reason why you shouldn’t play with the ball forward?
Any drill for woods and driver?
Check out my driver videos 👍🏼
Hi, i was doing this drill (amazing btw) and i was striking my irons so well, but when i pit the ball and club back too where it usually is im hitting it naff again! Any clue why? Thanks for another amazing video
Awesome to hear you liked it! Just more time doing the drill is the solution to that, golf is a marathon not a race. Also imagining you’re still doing the drill will also help 👍🏼
Thank you very much for the reply!
GET YOUR SHIFT TOGETHER BRO!!! XD
Haha love it
Please show with woods too.
Same with fairway woods off the deck 👍🏼
Could you achieve the same thing by moving the ball back in your stance and not shifting your weight? (I realize this isn't the optimal thing to do.)
You could but you’ll constantly be presenting too low of a dynamic loft, which will make it hard to shoot better scores
Shallowing without anything much else will get you trapped and then fat shots and/ or flipping with early extension become more likely.
Absolutely. A good swing is a blend of movement patterns 👍🏼
When I'm playing decently, I do this very well. When it doesn't work, trying to hit down causes me to shank??
Hitting down is happening because of the shift. Never try to physically hit down via manipulation
I believe that’s how Moe Norman set up to the ball
How about driver? I can not hit that either.
Check out my channel. Plenty of driver and woods videos 👍🏼
Me too
