    The reason recreational golfers don’t generate pro level swing speeds is not knowing how to release the club around the hands in the downswing and how to extend and stay in balance in the finish. Until you can learn swing the club on a well balanced “groove” finish the swing in perfect balance the reflexive brain is going to try the steer club with the hands with mixed results.
    I had balance problems in my swing until I read Hogan’’s Five Lessons a dozen years ago and actually tried what he suggested. The most helpful part of the book was the learning ladder he suggested: do not attempt to anything beyond and ‘extension-to-extension’ 1/4 swing until being able to hit them consistently straight and feel in balance at the finish. Then you increase the swing arc to 1/2, then 3/4, then Full stopping whenever a balance problem creeps back in. At is will because the kinetic energy in the club head causing the loss of balance increases EXPONENTIALLY as velocity increases linearly. That is why pros usually swing at 70-80% effort; because swinging at 100% is likely to cause balance / accuracy problems.
    Given that there are 13 lofted clubs in the bag is rather silly to try to hit a PW 150 yards and 7i over 200. What is more important for scoring is being able to hit an approach shot with an iron, creating enough spin loft to predictably shape it, which increases the odds of keeping it on the green and moving toward the hole after landing.

    I largely agree with you on this, bu there is also a certain art to learning what lag to hit the ball with, in the middle of releasing the club and therefore when exactly *to* release as a function of club speed. Not enough lag at impact and you either blade the ball or shovel it forward with the clubface sliding under the ball, too much lag and either you hit big divots or hit the ball at too low of a launch-angle. You don't want to hit much if any of a divot and you definitely have to be careful not to blade the ball. That all comes from having functionally-sufficient lag at impact during the process of releasing the club.
    Good releasing is definitely an acquired skill and you have to build into it to do it right.
    Unfortunately it's just not all technique. You have to have the muscle-power behind it also...the club doesn't swing itself just because you drop the head down out of the backswing. So the other half is to get swing-power into the ball without getting wild in the swing. The way that I found the release timing was to hold that wrist angle through impact until I got good strikes and then it kinda came naturally to me, to realize when to release. You need to hold lag until you get your shot down holding lag and you can feel the release-point essentially from experience.Your thing here is that you are dropping your hands and increasing lag in the downswing and therefore you need a lot more time to get the clubhead back to the ball in your release, so for you it's almost one continuous motion. The point is that anything in terms of a golf swing will work as long as you square the clubface decently, get the blade under the midline of the ball, hit the ball at a decent lag and don't swing across the ball too much. If you don't do that you're simply not going to hit a good shot. You obviously have that all down.
    It doesn't matter how far you hit it, long, short, intermediate, whatever, if you're not hitting good strikes then you're not going to hit good shots. You're at best hitting something playable. Many people play just fine with playable shots. It's not like your swing and your shots have to be optimum to play good golf. They definitely cannot be poor and play good golf. Hitting poor strikes and poor shots trying to hit the ball "long" is not the way to play good golf. We all learn this sooner or later, and if you really care to play good golf, then you sort it all out. That doesn't mean that you ever actually do hit 7-iron 200 yards. Maybe that's just not the game that you're destined to play. Some of us were destined to play that game. #1 rule of golf is that you have to pay the green-fees. #2 is that you need to learn your limitations on the course or they will be forcibly taught to you. Doesn't mean that you won't grow and evolve as a golfer. Hitting superhuman irons RELIABLY is definitely going to wait until you become a superhuman golfer. Hitting them UNRELIABLY will keep you from achieving even mediocrity.
    When you can't even predict what line they will land on much less what distance?
    Then you have a decision to make. Do you go for distance or go for the line.
    Cause I'll tell you, it sucks to hit a shot the exact distance that you want but 5 deg left and into the shoulder sand-trap. Or 5 deg to the right and into a lake. It never looks good to spray your shots all over the course.
    This is why I don't make too much out of distance claims.
    I need to see where the balls are landing to be impressed with someone's swing.

    I went to pro about 10 years ago to see why I had no distance. He said "You have no release". He told me to start releasing the golf club way up at the beginning of my downsing. Kind of contrary to what most people think, but it worked very well for me.

    Kevin, this is a great feel to incorperate. trying to hold on to these angles was killing my swing distance and consistancy. once i understood this concept it really changed the way i think about my swing. i almost feel like im casting the club but in reality becuase im also turning at the same time the swing releases properly through impact. Great lesson to understand here!

    I am usually a long hitter, but I recently crashed and burned 🙂 The right elbow was getting away from the body. Your video got me back on track. I will be 60 in a few months and hit my 9 iron around 170, 8 iron- 185, 7 iron 200+, etc. The key was maintaining supination of the right forearm THROUGHOUT the swing. Is that what you do? Also, there is no independent arm movement or very little. Let the turn move the arms for the most part. Also, great job on showing the progression of the wrist cock.

    • @touristguy87
      @touristguy87 5 днів тому

      Dude you can see in the first 10 seconds of the video that that is not what he does. He doesn't keep his elbow tight and he doesn't keep his arm straight. It isn't coming from his hips or from a big, wide swing-arc.
      He has a nice, hot release.
      Otherwise just an average, garden-variety swing.
      Not trying to crush the ball and falling back away from it, no obvious issues or weirdness in either timing or movement.
      Just a solid swing with a nice, powerful release. Obviously making good contact.
      But he's not playing in sim mode, so you can't see where his shots land.

      @@Wesley_Juakali I switch between the Callaway Apex Pro 21 - steel AMT black shafts and the MP-20 blades AMT white steel shafts. The MP-20s are longer than most clubs not because of the lofts 7-iron 34 degrees but because of the penetrating ball flight. The 'Flow Tapered Blade' has some deceiving extra weight at the top of the blade, raising the CG and creating the penetrating flight. Years ago, I played the Mizuno T-Zoid True irons, and those were also long. Occasionally, I still put the 2 iron from that set in my bag. I have a distinct advantage, being 6' 2, 200 lbs.
