Wow what a coincidence, I started hovering at the middle of the ball about a month ago after seeing a video of it as a way to stop fatting and my ball striking has dramatically improved, friends have even commented how well I’m hitting it now 😊
Hi, enjoy your videos. Just a correction which came from the original video. The golf ball doesn't roll up the face of the iron. The firearms company Browning went into making golf clubs back in the day. The high speed photography they used to research projectiles for their firearms discovered the ball doesn't roll up the face, (which was the common belief) it just reacts straight off the face. That's why Browning put out a few "low profile" model irons. They're about half the height of a traditional iron. Most club companies have put out a low profile iron at some stage but they never became popular. I've played a set and they are great irons. Playing the low profile irons might be a video for you to do in the future. Keep up the good work. Cheers
@@andrewscott8950 There are plenty of slo mo videos of golf ball impacts, find one and watch. It does no roll up the face. Think of a pool cue tip striking the cue ball below center...the cue ball does not roll up the tip. It has backspin because it was struct below the equator. Did you ever thin or blade a shot that had tons of backspin? A well struct golf shot has backspin when clubface makes impact below the equator. Th mot the loft, the lower if makes contact on the ball, thus more spin. The less the loft (say a 5 iron) the higher below the equator it makes contact with the ball, thus less backspin. s
I use to do something similar years ago as i tried to hit the ball with the bounce on my club and strange as it seemed it worked and I've played off single figure handicap for 30 years and still off 9 Hcp at 67.
Curious if you hit the "equator" of the ball, can I assume the divot after the ball would be shallower than prior? I am trying to find a swing thought that would help me be more consistent, and this sounds interesting. I tend to thin the ball on all of my irons, as a divot is almost a luxury
Sorry, the ball does not roll up the clubface. There are plenty of slo mo videos of golf ball impacts, find one and watch. It does not roll up the face. Think of a pool cue tip striking the cue ball below center...the cue ball does not roll up the tip. It has backspin because it was struct below the equator. Did you ever thin or blade a shot on the leading edge that had tons of backspin? A well struct golf shot has backspin when the clubface makes impact below the equator.

Tried this today and it’s awesome! Added an average of 10 yards per iron. Thanks Andy.
That’s great pal 👏👍
I will trybthis in the simulator this winter. Thanks!😊
Interesting idea; I will have to give it a try next time I am at the range.
A weird one but works

It must roll up to generate spin, there has to be a vertical force

I'm willing to give it a try 😊
Worth a go, bit odd at first but has positive results

Makes sense. I'll give it a whirle tomorrow.
Good luck Bob
If people start to deloft which is what I do you then struggle with 3 wood, the a 5 would be better as example

thinning it..............never works
Clearly you are hard of hearing or not the brightest 👍
