Excellent instruction: clear, organized, and aided by carefully selected camera shots at the appropriate time. Your editing is worth it, friend. Your knowledge, paired with helpful visuals and clear communication makes for an outstanding instructional video.
One thing that helped me was where I focused on the ball itself. I was always focused on the back of the ball (where the clubface hits the ball). I simply changed my focus to the front of the ball and walla...fixed it.
I have been a pretty consistent iron player, but from time to time I will have those chucking and wedge shanking moments, what I like to see is a slow motion shank strike just to see what happens during a shank, so far no one ever demonstrated that with a high speed cam. It would be nice to see the club path etc that causes a shank.
Nice. Three excellent points that I'll take to the driving range tomorrow. As I mentioned in an earlier comment on a previous video, I'm trying to learn to create a proper hit by letting the bottom of the swing arc hit the ground just slightly ahead of the ball--thereby hitting slightly down on the ball and avoiding the chunk. Ball position, weight distribution, and club/hands angle. I've heard a lot of people complain that it's not really possible to practice this on artificial turf--and unfortunately, too many driving ranges today are artificial turf. What's your take? Any advice on how to practice effectively off of artificial turf? (I do notice that I play and hit the ball better when I'm on the course on real grass.) Thanks. Excellent video.
Hi Todd, you are one of the best teachers i have seen. Sorry for a little critic. You make things far to complicated, because you talk to much. You explain something in 5 minutes, which can be doen in 1 minute. Just show what to do. No more. that would make you the best. Warm regards, Maarten vasbinder
Good tips...Nothing like bombing a nice draw down the fairway and chunking a wedge into the green....It costs me at least 5 shots a round...more if there is a water hazard in front of the green...
It helps me to try and top the golf ball. Try to skim over the top of the ball in your mind. Of course if your a chunked like me then you will never top it no matter how hard you try. It’s near impossible for me to ever top a golf ball.
Do you not want hands forward of the ball at impact at all? Is this a compromise for us amateurs, with the pro's doing the de-lofting with hands forward, etc?
Kenneth Garrison a little forward shaft lean at impact is a good thing yes...we have done some great content on irons..check them out...thanks for watching!
For 2 years I’ve hit 80 percent chunks. I’ve took 14 lessons through 3 different coaches. The last coach finally said he didn’t have any more options for me lol
@@USGOLFTVshow ok I’ve been doing better when I forget everything I learned from lessons and went back to an extremely inside takeaway and swing more arms and less body. I know it’s the opposite of what everyone teaches but it works for me. I’m guessing it’s because I’m so tall that I can’t do a standard swing. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing Fred, hope the info also helped!
You have a perfect voice for youtube.
Much appreciated...

H L good post and idea! Will be sure to pass the idea along to our content team...thanks! 👊
I agree , seeing a perfect strike isn’t what I need to see. I need to see a bad strike to see what causes it.
Thanks for share this informative and helpful video👍
glad we could help!
Another clear,helpful video from an enthusiastic teacher.Thank you for all your valuable videos & advice.
Alan Goudie you bet...do us a favor and tell a friend about USGOLFTV 👊
This is great. Thank you so much everyone who made this!
Our pleasure, we appreciate you watching....what other topics would you like to see us cover?
Man, that hands too far forward tip completely changed my iron shots. I couldn't figure out what I was messing up with! Thank you!
Same!
New golfer, a few lessons, can you breakdown hand position for a lefthanded golfer

Peter Davis if the artificial mat is of good quality then it is ok. However always best to practice of real grass when possible. 👍
Cheers for the tips my friend
Always like a video that simplifies things. Great work 👍

Maarten Vasbinder thanks for watching and taking time to comment...appreciate the feedback.
I have a problem with my irons because I pull down the club too hard before connecting with the ball also poor weight shift good video
This video was tailor made for you! 👊
Muito bom! Excelente explicação!

Appreciate the tips. Very helpful
Steve you bet! 👊 Thanks for watching
Im beyond confused im guilty of having my hands far forward but i thought that was good or is it for wedges only
Very informative! Thx your time to make this video
Glad you enjoyed it, hope you subscribe!
How far back should I be standing from the ball? Is that a height thing or a feel thing?
More feel than anything. Have you watching this video th-cam.com/video/PeWAFo0_Qfc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-2MjG00a_JJukd-J
I've tried everything to quit chunking my shots. And the one thing that finally helped was making a wider stance. Eliminates weight shift
Thx for the tip...will try that
I’ll try itnalso
Goddamnit man you’re a genius! Tried that today and it fixed my chunk!
