00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
Welcome to the Iron Consistency Program, where we're going to help you learn
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.000
how to hit those laser bullet-like iron shots
3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:11.300
that finish right next to the pin and set you up for an easy tap-in birdie,
4
00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:13.000
right? Sounds too good to be true.
5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:19.520
Well, maybe we can't get a tap-in birdie every time, but if we can hit 13, 14,
6
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:21.000
15 greens per round,
7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
we're getting into the position where we can start making four or five birdies
8
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.000
around, which gives us a little bit of wiggle room.
9
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
See, driving the ball is great, but more birdies are going to come from hitting
10
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.000
iron's close or from making putts
11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.650
than they are from hitting the wall off the tee. So, if you had to pick one, we
12
00:00:38.650 --> 00:00:42.000
want to have a really good iron game.
13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.150
In this program, we're going to cover the major pieces that create a good iron
14
00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:49.000
swing.
15
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000
So, when you're hitting an iron, if you remember from the solid contact video,
16
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000
we want to make sure that we have shaft lean
17
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.990
and that the bottom of the swing is ahead of the golf ball. We're going to go
18
00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:01.000
over the two major parts of your body
19
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.250
that control where the lower or where the low point is in your swing. It's not
20
00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:07.000
nearly as complicated as you think,
21
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:12.000
and training it has helped lots of golfers hit many more greens per round.
22
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.000
The second piece we're going to talk about is breaking down those two pieces.
23
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.710
So, we've got one piece being where your upper body is located, and I'll show
24
00:01:21.710 --> 00:01:24.000
you exactly which part of your upper body I mean
25
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.440
and what it needs to do. But what can happen is during the backswing or during
26
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:32.000
transition, if you get that upper body out of position
27
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.730
then you basically have no opportunity and no chance to have the bottom of the
28
00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:37.000
swing in front of the golf ball,
29
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.130
which means you're going to struggle with contact. And then the last piece is
30
00:01:43.130 --> 00:01:46.000
understanding the fine tuning of the release
31
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.260
and how it works with transition in order to create this impact alignment that
32
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:53.000
gives us the solid contact
33
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:59.020
that we're looking for. Many golfers misunderstand what transition should be
34
00:01:59.020 --> 00:02:01.000
and how it relates to the release.
35
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.580
They always know what the hand should be doing at impact and what they should
36
00:02:06.580 --> 00:02:07.000
be doing at setup,
37
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.120
but they get lost at what should be happening in this area, and that's usually
38
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.000
where iron contact falls apart.
