What a ditzlefuck. The iron shot on the left was OBVIOUSLY one of Tiger's stingers. Look at the ball position and the huge gaping divot. That iron on the right was a grounder. Leave the analysis to the profalactics.

Horrible comparison

Tiger used a perimeter weighted "game improvement" 7-iron, hit off the toe, and lets the clubface rotate open at impact? hmmm

Any time you hit a golf ball you are going to compress the ball aren’t you? I don’t get it when you here golfers say they are compressing the ball between the club head and the grass. PGA players have incredible distance control. How could you have any distance control if you compressed the ball against soft, medium or hard surfaces? It doesn’t make sense and you can see that it’s not true watching slow motion of impact. So stop saying we need to compress the ball!

This is the one shot that still eludes me.

I doubt that 7 iron is tigers he has never played cavity back irons always blades

The ball is in flight before a divot is taken!,

Higher Compression = face angle being the same as the path. Stop trying to over analyse something so simple. That's why more lofted irons spin more, it's simple...just as importantly, more compression = less spin due to face to path so it's about control not just you need to do this cause I can slowmo 1 swing from a pro. As most have stated already this is a low stinger caused from a delofted club back in the stance. I never understood the so called logic of these videos, hitting the ball on the downward path on the swing would never create more compression as the face is angled up and the path is going down. It creates spin from the ball running against the club face. That is why you hit up on a driver so the face to path is less. Who comes up with this logic....

This is a great point; and easy for people to relate to. It is not complicated.

left is his 2 iron vrs driving iron.

Thanks Joe. I have been reviewing quite a few videos on high bunker shots, and feel yours is one of the most informative. It has given me 2 or 3 key thoughts to think about and to go and practice.

The slo-mo and explanation are great but this isn't a how-to. You've merely explained a cause and effect.

Silly to compare rear leg and club angle... Not a good explanation at all

Good tips. Still looks hard though lol.

Compression is inefficiency because it is internal friction converting energy into heat. Driver heads have been changed to compress thereby taking some of that compression away from the ball. Balls are limited at .85 restitution (efficiency). What we're after is less sliding on the clubface and more center hits. i.e. flat left wrist.

Excellent video. You know what you're talking about

I hate the way people say just get your weight forward and plenty of shaft lean to hit good iron shots. For the average golfer that just leads to pulls and hooks because the club face is closing too quick. The whole swing needs to be perfected from takeaway to transition and the compressed iron shot and weight shift comes with it without thinking.

Put ball forward in stance, stand tall. To draw, the opposite,put ball back (off heel) and sit low

Why the fuck is a tee flying up on the second shot?

The movie on the left is a low flying shot - he calls it a stinger, with a long iron in the back of the stance and hands in front of the ball and weight forwards. I wouldn't read too much into the details of the shot technique since it is definitely not a typical long iron hit :) Also, are you sure the video on the right is tiger? That doesn't look like one of his typical blades. Also, the camera is not on the shot line, the target is to the left, making this difficult to read into as well.

7 iron looked to be a toe hit.

~ 00:26 Toe of the club, not toe of the putter. I knew what you meant though ;-) I will have to give it a go next round out. I tend to reach for my 58° too quickly and try to fly it there instead of considering other options such as this one.

That's the Hoecker I remember!

This is why my 2013 season was all @#$% up! Hoecker is hitting a fade and Stauffer is hitting a draw!

There is actually a psychology to the pre-shot routine. If you walk up to the ball Aim, Address, back swing, hit, pose. That is 5 steps. Assuming an error will occur in the process, there is a 1 in 5 chance it will occur during the "Hit". 1 in 5 chance during the aim, etc. If you have 10 Steps, like Justin, the probability during the hit reduces to 1 in 10. Repetition reduces the error further. Bowlers, Golfers, Servers (Tennis) all use a repeatable routine!

Velellaguy is right! Tiger does not hit a perimeter-weighted 7-iron. You can also tell by the twisting of the face, and the low launch angle this is not a 7 iron.

I have to say you are the dumbest person i have heard try to teach ball striking and compression! Thats the VR-S forged 2 iron not a 7 iron! you have no idea what true compression feels like or how to describe the proper technique to accomplish this!

The donw the line view, looks like it was off-center.

that is not Tigers 7-iron. More likely a 2-iron.

this only works on 30 meters and more, u dont get enough club speed to get nice spin with this tech.

there's not as many views as there should be! great advice, looking forward to trying it next time on the range!
