@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Which iron do you struggle most with, long iron or short iron and why do you think this is?

@crazytrumpeter 4 года назад

Gotta be the long irons, not the case from now on. Which numbers are the long irons, and which are the short irons? Is 7-iron the longest short iron?

@mh_golfer 4 года назад

Should the release of a driver be more similar to that of long irons? I tend to release all my clubs more like what you have shown for short irons.

@brhyansmith8709 4 года назад

I struggled with my wedges until I got the shafts extended 2 inches! Also still struggle with my 5i more than my 3i

@rhonmitchell5264 4 года назад

What about 3 and 5 woods. Do you hit these different from the Driver?

@robbiegardner53 4 года назад

So what irons is classed as long/short. I would say 8i - wedge short. This would mean 7i to release club like Tiger? Is that correct? Also same for driver? Thanks 👍🏼

@RSMover 3 года назад

Y’all are seriously give the best free advice out there! Totally explains why I can always hit my 8 and 9i really well and struggle mightily with my 4/5i’s. Took this advice to the range yesterday and the ball was launching out there!

@Chowyanh 4 года назад

You guys are brilliant coaches to say the least. I have followed you for two years straight. Yes l am still a HCP 24, doing between 100-111 net on stroke play or 21-29 Stableford every weekend. Mid-week l play 9 holes and range between 46 - 51 stroke play net. My mid-game needs a lot of work and slowly l am improving as l watch some key things like smart play tactics on your channel. On driving, l watched your vids loyally including the one with Dustin (what a player 👌), and since then l have managed on a regular to hit 250-301 drives fairway regulation. Please keep on keeping brothers. Stay blessed.

@mdavies747 3 года назад

Viewed this video a few weeks ago and always set up my ball in the center of my stance for iron shots. Hitting the greens was a problem always ended missing by 30 yds. First time out over a 9 hole practice I saw a significant improvement with 4 pars. Today I shot 4 over par on 9 holes including 2 birdies and one double bogey which was a driver error! I play of 21! So hitting the green has improved. Thanks for a great channel!

@ortizu2 4 года назад

How do stay consistent?? I start well front nine but the back nine I start shanking balls. Is it me or the alcohol???

@bennyrodriguez7419 3 года назад

I had the same problem I noticed it being a bit of fatigue after nine holes which made my mechanics sloppy so I kept hitting the range getting back in shape and I saw better results

@kbanghart 3 года назад

@@bennyrodriguez7419 I agree, a lot of times when I used to play 18, fatigue came up plus it doesn't help I have a long-term back injury, so I really have to adjust.

@themusketeer9458 Год назад

Just fatigue i mostly play nine, only time i play 18 if it is in the morning. Then the body habdles it fine, but if i olay after work, or just even in the afternoon on holidays, the brain and body fatigues too fast. Nine is perfect

@ricgreiss 11 месяцев назад

Definitely not the alcohol drink more !😂

@artsynat5904 4 года назад

This is by far the best golf channel in yt. Thanks and greetings from Colombia

@AmarHujan 4 года назад

Brilliant video. Wasn't really aware of just how different the short and long irons were apart from the set up. Now I'm noticing all the top pros tweak their swings for every kind of club

@djembeia 4 года назад

Thanks, such a great description of the difference between long and short iron play.

@jamesjaime4140 3 года назад

Fantastic video guys!!! I’ve been struggling with my long irons and it never occurred to me that I was not releasing the club properly. I’ll be at the range tomorrow!

@bobanderson542 3 года назад

Great golf teachers. Great at explaining and showing what to do with the different clubs.

@scottlucas6025 4 года назад

Just been to the range here and was great upto the 5 iron, struggled with the 3 & 4 as I could not release through. After watching this I think my Sternum was the same as for the shorter Irons and I did not adjust behind the ball enough resulting in mostly blocked right shots! Great Video Guys, Thanks : )

@mrnvisserr 3 года назад

Wow... this was amazing, I just started 3 months ago, been going to the driving range every day but I did not know this "release" type of stuff! Great, thanks!

@stevoreno2913 3 года назад

I'm amazed these guy's content is free. These lessons are so valuable. I feel lucky :)

@natskis 4 года назад

Starting to become my favourite golf channel. Thanks guys, Question: Where should you be balancing on your feet during the setup, wind up and strike? Are you over the balls of your feet? Further back? How bent are your knees? Do you start off with locked knees? How engaged are your quads?

@anthonyblacksand Год назад

Thank you for posting this great content. I've been struggling hitting my 4 iron, but today at the range, I was hitting it pure because I watched this video. I was getting great trajectory too. Keep up with the great content! ⛳ 🔥 🥇 👏🏼 👌🏼

@averynichols8035 4 года назад

Nice tip guys. This will improve my long and short iron game. Thanks! Have a nice one.

@ariffza 4 года назад

This is the best explanation of the difference between long and short iron swing on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing this.

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Thanks. Hope this helps on course.

@jbohardy 3 года назад

This is an important video to watch for all weekend golfers. Many teachers say to swing all of your irons the same, but I've always felt there was a major difference between long and short irons but I could never put my finger on it, this proves my theory and explains a lot.

@JelliedTestes 3 года назад

There's is, without a doubt, a difference! I agree

@msuriyon 3 года назад

Really love this .I t helps me a lot that I change hitting long iron different from the short iron. It works.

@coach2cent Год назад

That's a great observation between the two swings Release and set up and Finnish positions tks guys

@MrTotte79 4 года назад

Thanks for great videos. You have really helped my game so far. I struggle with my irons. Even though there is a small difference in length between them, i mean how far I can play them, I feel the difference is too small. The gap and the 9 iron tends to go approximately the same distance. Any ideas why?

@ThangNguyen-uv1el Год назад

This is a valuable video to differentiate the long and short iron technic as well as release parttern to train your wrist properly. Thanks Me and my golf!

@joemannella5519 2 года назад

This was exactly what I needed to see. Changing the finish between my short vs. long irons did the trick (at least for now, lol). Thanks gents.

@ryan_average99 3 года назад

Hi, I'm new in golf and literaly learn from youtube and your channel is one of the best reference. So far I stick to learn how to use short iron (9). My question is: from your perspective,which better? Learn various clubs or learn it one by one untill we get use to hit with it? Thank you and appreciate for your feedback..

@PartyPete199 4 года назад

This has been the most constructive video for my game in ages. I play off 7.6 but I only play once a month so some unexplained bad habits have crept in and have lead to inconsistency . I can’t believe how simple the techniques you’ve explained and ball position has dramatically improved my grouping on each club. It’s also helped my driving with the rotation through impact. Thank you 🙏🏻

@davidking3618 3 года назад

really dope channel. I just started 2 weeks ago, and i've been learning a ton!

@fixass73 3 года назад

I love all your videos... I am 15 handicap, and im struggling against the chicken wing, trying to rote my wrist after the impact. But when I do it, the ball is going on a big hook !

@AK-kd5st 4 года назад

Fantastic video guys, thank you. I tried this on the range a few days ago and started to see some major improvements in my iron accuracy! Two questions I got from my practice: 1) I noticed that swinging with the shorter iron, less release technique, that I lost about 10 yards of distance on each iron compared to a full release, longer iron swing. Is that what is supposed to happen? Sacrificing some distance but gaining accuracy? 2) Do you find yourselves ever doing the short iron technique for your longer irons or vice versa? At least in terms of release of the club? For example, if you have a tight green 200yds out you want to try to hit with a long iron (4-iron for example), maybe club up to a 3-iron and hit the short iron release for better accuracy? Thanks for all the work you guys put into these videos! Very helpful.

@robscherer 4 года назад

This is actually kind of fascinating how different these two techniques are...it does make me think about flipping a little bit with the long irons. I have that issue occasionally. I see that you two made a video about flipping roughly 5 years ago, I will check it out.

@slimmsg7 2 года назад

I'm struggling with this now and it boggles my mind, good vid guys ...

@maxwellandhissilverhammer7525 4 года назад

Could you please try and simplify what the correct amount of hip rotation and weight distribution through the swing is, maybe with a good drill to ensure consistency? Thanks guys, love the videos!

@francoislamont9293 4 года назад

Brilliant guys, thanks! Just shared this with every golfer I know🍻

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

That's great Francios. Thanks for the question.

@user-tw1zr5um9f 3 года назад

It helped me a lot because I could compare it at a glance. Good video!

@hemahasona1537 4 года назад

You guys are the best for real... went to the range today to try these tricks and was absolutely striking all my irons (even my 4 🙌) watching your RU-vid vids has dropped my score down 20 strokes in a year

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

That's amazing Hema. Happy to help.

@reginaldinoenchillada3513 4 года назад

I just watched your video with rory and the par ten u guys played with seb, Rick, and Peter. Today, I need this tip here. Short irons r giving me a spot of trouble.

@enniobellato1 3 года назад

Thanks Guys great video went to the driving range I've never hit a 4 iron this good Flushing my Mid and short irons like Pierce :-)

@jguitar29 4 года назад

This helped... my ball placement and stance width is always an issue for me ... I think this video is gonna really help out and dial things in... especially the long iron segment. thx guys

That's great. Happy to hear you enjoyed it. Hope it helps.

@dylanbarnes6704 4 года назад

great video guys! just wondered what you would class as the cross over point is from a long iron to a short iron? cheers!

@allumpfa 4 года назад

What an eye opener, thanks guys. Could not find this on my subscription service to your website? Would the same apply for a 3/4 hybrid?

@phillip1371 3 года назад

Hey guys, I’ve just started getting into golf so I’m not really sure what questions to ask. I’ve watched a few of your videos already. But, how do I know which club to use and when? I’ll probably have a lot more questions down the road and your videos have helped a lot so far. Thanks!

@Eddiemoocha 4 года назад

Great video guys, I don't struggle with my full irons, I know all my distances from 56 deg to 3 iron at full swing. My inconsistencies are more with 60 -100 yard shots. I feel like I have to manufacture a shot for these distances. I am currently experimenting with different clubs at the moment from a 56 deg 52 deg and a PW but I just do not have any consistent distance. Do you have any routines or anything to help with these shots? I hit my 56 deg about 100 yards at full swing which is my highest lofted club in the bag.

@rrisky18 4 года назад

I need to know the forward press with your the same for long irons and short irons. Thanks 🏌🏼

@glennboylan3855 3 года назад

Only started back golf after a few years and I’ve been practicing par 3’s and hitting my 9 iron very well, then one hole was 215 yards and I couldn’t swing the 5 iron for the life of me, really helpful video must try new swing with 5 iron

@iloveskateboarding45 4 года назад

I was literally just talking to a friend yesterday about the differences in how you play irons!

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Great. Hope this was useful Riqee

@dace6360 2 года назад

Very nice gents, thank you. Lots of very useful information in such a short time. So no change in swing plane for long v shorts? (my swing plane changes with the same club with every swing mind...)

@AndyKapt20 4 года назад

This is something people don't talk about. I have been away from the game for a couple of years and went to a lesson. First thing the pro spoke about was the lie and plane. It changed my game instantly. Great video. Would to see something about though process and the mental aspects of the game (especially when you are over the ball)

@orv4r 3 года назад

Great video! I was looking for difference between long irons and short irons because i was hitting my short irons "too far" with less consistency. Could it be if i was releasing the short irons the same way as the long irons?

@TomTomChucky 3 года назад

Great video guys! In the take away with long irons, you want to delay the wrist movement to get a more level attack angle... But for how long and do all long irons involve the exact same take away?

@hornav 4 года назад

Great demo on ball position!

@harrybrowett8217 3 года назад

I’d love a video about hybrids, how to set up, swing and get the most out of them?

@ianstyring9602 4 года назад

What a great vid. I'll try these swings at the range this weekend.

@davidwebster4111 2 года назад

Hi Guys Love your great videos, I noticed that many pro golfers including Piers separate the index finger from the rest of the fingers. What is the reason and what benefit can we get. I notice that it stops me swinging too much inside. Could you explain please?

@seanplatt9860 4 года назад

I definitely struggle more with the long irons. I feel as though I have so much more control over the shot, and my body, with the short irons. This video was very helpful. I've been trying the drills and they're definitely helping

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Great Sean. Keep us posted and let us know how things are going.

@battlegroundmaster1875 2 года назад

@naitsirk32 2 года назад

These videos are so impactful, my god. Thanks a lot.

@lloydparry6590 4 года назад

Hey guys love ur videos always take something away. Can u talk about playing full swing shots with wedges into greens 56° 60° etc vs. Playing pitching wegde

@love2flash 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the video… my problem is the slight changes from pitching wedge to long irons.. do you just make it set in your mind.. gap to 9 iron - use short iron finish… 8ir to 6 ir: part of your long iron swing? Then 5, 4, 3.. long irong swing?

@Mannchini 3 года назад

I know this video is a few years old, but wow does it shine light on something I've never taken notice of. When I finish my short irons as shown in this video, I get as much distance as if I've tried a huge follow through, if not more and am way more accurate. Just didn't realise that was the thing. No more round the neck finishes from 7-PW :D

@jeffreyyoungblood7438 3 года назад

Very excellent. Simple. Great info.

@tonyshans2226 2 года назад

So THAT's why I hook my short clubs on occasion! After playing for the past 17 years, I never realized the difference in finishes between a long and a short iron...Thank you..

@sociologie4507 4 года назад

You guys are pretty amazing at what you are doing.

@gagolfanddrones487 3 года назад

I use this and it works. One addition is I aim at the ground about 3" in front of the ball and right on my target line. The shorter the club the shorter the distance I aim in front of the ball. Ball placement is the same relative to my left foot with all irons woods and hybrids. Except driver. This give you consistent distant.

@thatgeezeruk 4 года назад

Hi guys! I struggle with distance on wedges with a full swing, LW SW PW. I think my hands are too low and this seems to cause them to go very high.

@mindfulsoul303 4 года назад

Great video guys, thank you.

@tomang71 3 года назад

I have to say guys, you two are the best!

@SamofMalaysia 4 года назад

Illuminating lesson here. Short irons would be from GW, PW to 7 iron only? please advise :)

@ShawnKawaii 2 года назад

very helpful, thank you!

@rayheroux8642 3 года назад

I don’t what in doing wrong .. but I’ll hit my wedge-6 great, good ball flight center hits..but when I get to my 3 and 4 iron I have Tendency to hit a weak hook shot that feels like it off the Toe.... It makes me crazy because I able to diagnose most problems that come up in my swing... but these weak toe hooks with the long irons have me stumped... love your videos.. do you have any suggestions?? Thanks Ray

@Pookie2533 2 года назад

Great video. I'm struggling with my new 5 and 6 irons due to having less loft than my old irons.

@meandmygolf. 2 года назад

Thanks Andrew! Might be worth speaking with a club fitter and seeing if there's any alterations that can be made for you!

@buckybarnes3803 4 года назад

Driver off the deck: just wanted to let you know that after watching your video in Spring about using the driver off the deck, I incorporated it into my game this past summer, and wow was that amazingly helpful. The guys in my league we're surprised that I would use a driver for a second shot for distance, and really were amazed at how it worked. So thanks for that!!

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

That's great Bucky!

@Leofinanz 4 года назад

Guys, Got a question regarding direction. When I hold it for the short irons I got the tendency to push it a bit or at least end up right of the flag. When I look at the video, Piers seems to hit it also much further right than where the flags are...was that on purpose or what has to be on focus to hit it straight to the flag? Cheers...and thx for many bright moments in my Golf understanding 😉

@javedakhtar720 3 года назад

It's cleared my confusion about release pattern of long and short iron. Is release pattern you explained for long iron is true for fairway wood and driver.

@jachconi 4 года назад

I play in my garage during the cold northern New York winters and use a Skytrak. I’ve noticed high spin numbers effecting my distance. How to you manage spin to effect distance?

@DannyBranch8 4 года назад

Great video guys. This did a great job of really explaining the difference in the two shot types.

@JordanGiants 5 месяцев назад

Where do u make the split club wise to decide which technique to use. Do I swing the 7 iron like a short iron or a long iron?

@johnbascom4523 Год назад

The video explains a lot between the differences of the clubs, the game has a lot of facets that need a lot of attention to become a good player.

@nesbittr 3 года назад

After recently getting into golf, ive picked up a used set of Calloway Rogues after watching some of your videos. While searching for irons, i saw one-length irons. What are the demographics or usage for these irons (beginners/pros/anyone)?

@timsw8 4 года назад

Great video, thanks for the clear explanation 👍

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

@AaronShaHome 4 года назад

Great detail ! Really helps.

@tonyjones2838 3 года назад

Can you define what you mean by short iron and long. What about mid Irons? Or do you count 6i onward Long and 7i to wedges short ? Thanks

@wes.jenn.alexander 2 года назад

@meandmygolf. I have always heard keep the posture the same, let club dictate the distance the ball is away from you, but this is the first the ball position remains consistent and the posture straightens up. Can you help clarify the difference? If so, what is the ball length we need?

@edogaktop 4 года назад

Thank you for the informative video! What would happen if we hit long iron using the short iron technique and vice versa? Cheers!

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

You would hit the long iron less distance.

@stuartwaiton9294 4 года назад

Does this advice and turning the wrists through extension also apply to the driver?

@paulscurfield 4 года назад

Great vid guys, I've searched for the difference between short and long irons a lot and struggled to find anything. Which release is easiest for mid irons? Thanks.

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Hi Paul. It all depends on your shot shape too., If you are someone who leaks it right then a moire active toe release may work and vice versa if you tend to curve too much left.

@jonmarsh7914 4 года назад

should I swing my club with full motion and force and let the club do the work? or do i need to have different swing force for each club?

@xeon4888 3 года назад

Great video, thanks for this.

@sportshongxi 2 года назад

Playing with Srixon ZX5 now with NS Modus 105 tour, do I need the same shaft for my 7 iron and 6 iron? I mean if I use NS modus 95 for 6 iron, is that better? thanks

@NotoF023 4 года назад

My shots are going straight, but I feel like there is a dipping motion to most balls I am hitting. Mainly with my irons, what could be causing this? Stance to the ball or just overall the topping contact with it?

@greggallego3111 2 года назад

I’m trying a more steeper swing with short iron and more wider with long, what’s your opinion on that?

@Saintsfanalways 4 года назад

Notification squad! Thanks for all you guys do helping us be better Golfers!

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Appreciate your support.

@meinking22 4 года назад

Excellent video. Going to try these practice tips. Perhaps you guys can provide a practice tip on how to keep from dropping your shoulders in the swing. For some reason when I lean over the golf ball with a short iron, I tend to drop my shoulders some and block my swing out. This kills my power and causes me to push shots right on occasion.

@meandmygolf. 4 года назад

Thanks for the suggestion Steven

@theaveragejoe3352 3 года назад

Lately, I have been hitting my shots very accurate. However, the power is not there. I have tried to make more solid contact by using drills with a towel(under the armpits and across the chess). Now, once I started doing it my shots were very inconsistent. I was topping, not hitting straight. I want to keep trying but is there a reason why I am so inconsistent with the towel drill. I am thinking my hips and arms are not in sync. Maybe I am trying to turn too fast for power. Is there anyway you guys can help. You all explain wonderful and detailed videos. I used to hit my 9-iron around 160 but was wild. In time I went for accuracy and now my 9 iron struggles to hit 150. Of course this relates with all my clubs except my sand wedge. I feel like I am not making solid contact with the face. Please help if possible. Thank you again for all your excellent videos. Very helpful!

@nickdoublen123 4 года назад

Thanks for this video! Are those jackets custom? If not, where do I get one!? Those are fire.

@hockeypuck4108 4 года назад

One question I have about this video is about his wrists during the shot...I know you are supposed to rate through with you wrists on long irons and opposite with short irons, but on the back swing are you supposed to rotate your wrists back or almost just like hinge your wrists back (like a door hinge)?
