This tip and the hip turn lesson repaired my long lost game. My shots were going straight but always short and weak. Now I'm back to a nice easy swing with a light grip and lots of distance. Hallelujah!
Tried this bit of a drill today, my first game in over 4 weeks due to overseeding here in Arizona. While I was not so exaggerated as you Ali I found that a bit of wrist and impact position preset prior to my backswing helped me create better ball then ground contact and more accuracy. Thanks.
Thanks for posting these training tips. Many others copy your advice on UA-cam,but yours are the best. I ruined my swing 2 weeks before Christmas trying to do things with bent back wrists and body rotations. The inconsistencies in strike were enough to skip a round of golf! So I sought out your video to reacquaint myself with some solid easy to replicate advice and voila! I can hit an iron again. And I don't need to worry about a huge back swing to get good distance, just focus on my contact and shaft. One thing that realy helps is remember to push my left hip backwards as opposed to rotating or bumping the right hip forward.
3 weeks on from my previous comment and I am playing the best golf ever. Averaging 10 over par. I'm amazed at the consistency of strike and effortless distance for a 56yo who only started playing regularly 5 years ago. I have stopped watching other golf improvement videos, how can I possibly get any better...but there's so much scope to regress. One important aspect of this drill is to remember to shift your weight towards the target to decrease loft. And I play once a week!
Fantastic drill. Simple yet genius. 👍
Another amazing video. I love the way you demonstrate the wrong and the right way to get your point across. All of your videos are so creative and fun to watch. I carrying mostly hybrids these days. I am sure the same methodology will work on those too especially the 7-9 hybrid where you are hitting down on them. Thanks for the great video.
me too, i'm 73 years old and i now have 3.4,5 and 6 hybrids, i love the things.
A great tip and you proved your point with technology. Well done. Can't wait to try it this afternoon!
You totally nailed my swing. I’ve try to drill with the presetting impact with lag before but only occasionally. I’ll try rehearsing this move more. I believe it will help my launch angle.
wow, exactly what I was looking for, cant wait to try it out!!!
Good tip - thanks for this. Will give this a go on the range.
A great drill Ali. Getting that launch angle down is key.
So I'm an arm swinging 50 year old trying after 20 years away from the game to keep up with my teenage one year in body swinging behemoth! This launch angle watch I have never seen any other pro in person or on YT explain, it's a great indicator rather than pure carry for getting hips through creating shaft lean. More indicators like this for each club and how things change with a driver would be fantastic. Great content.
I feel for you mate. Same here. Greetings from Glasgow 🙂
I watched this video and practiced this with foam practice balls since the range was closed due to rain. I was making much better contact and ball flight was great. The early part of my first round in 20 years was difficult because I was hitting about thirty yards further with each club.
Best video of most I have seen in a long time, your commentary speed is ideal for proper absorption, contrary to most instructors babbling away using lightening-speed and superfluous words.
Wow Ali, that was a pretty amazing demonstration alright. I seem to remember seeing your 3 second ideal position in an old Hogan book, but never though about it as a quick rehearsal; brilliant! Thank you very much.
i've been golfing for many years but was never real long with the irons and can only get about 140yds with the 7iron and i know i tend to hit off my back foot. gonna try this, thnx.
This looks really good I'm gonna try it!
Ali, have you tried that drill by starting your backswing from the "hands forward/impact position"?
love it great drill!
First day at the range today,and it looked like a mud tip,awefull,and i was trying to do this with some success,but havent hit a ball since SEPTEMBER,very rusty,but got the la down to about 17,well please,also,can i ask,would you get better ball speed from doing this.Keep up the good work.
Gonna give this a try.
Great video, should we be aiming for 10-12 degrees lest than the static loft of each club i.e. 32 degree 7 iron launching at 18-20 degrees? Would that be the same for all the irons? Thanks
I had the same question, when I checked the Trackman website last week they quoted 17 degrees for a 6 iron at 80 mph swing speed. Which is the swing speed I have on average with my 7 iron. Are there any stats on these? Ping has one for drivers I think, but not for irons. I assume the input variables for launch angle are shaft length, swing speed, dynamic loft and AoA? Static loft is different dependent on one's golf set.
your inpact position is the same across the irons so yes you will deloft about the same ammount each club, slightly less as you go to the long irons as the ball position is further forward.
Great video. I’m curious to know the loft of your 7 iron. These days it could be anything from 26 to 36 degrees.
Thanks for the tip. I have been practicing this 3-second de-lofting position before hitting the ball and it definitly works. However, the ball tends to go a little too much to the left (I am right handed). Any suggestion?
He may chime in but if your ball flight is relatively straight I’d suggest slightly weakening your grip at address
Thank you for the advice. I indeed have a very strong grip. I just weakened it a bit today and my club head was more square. Thanks a lot.
I’m a beginner, so I’m really bad at this. Watching your video, I understand what I need to do. Question, is it worth going in slow motion? Just trying to barely hit the ball, but make sure you got that Ford lean, and then kinda slowly building up from there. Fortunately, I have access to an indoor golf Sim so I can practice a lot.
A Ford lean? What about a Chevy lean? lol
Awesome!
This guy Ali is a great golf swing instructor.
Thank you, glad you enjoy the content.
Fascinating video. Thanks for this. I am struggling to understand why I lose so much distance though. My 7 iron ball speed is average 127mph, launch 18 degrees which is is comparative to the low launch and ball speed you are getting but my average distance is 150-155 yards. My ball flight always seems to climb and land soft. Is this spin causing the ballon affect?
try a lower spinning ball
Sounds like you're not letting your upper body release to your target which is inhibiting torque. Check to see where your shoulders are right after impact. The back shoulder should be pretty much following the ball flight and eventually ending with both shoulders somewhat square to your target. Play the above video in super slow motion and watch how his shoulders rotate through the ball. The torque is actually generated from the hip and thigh movement from the coil-uncoiling. Distance is usually constrained due to attack/launch angle as the author points out, but also a swing that utilizes mostly arms rather than coiling. Just read your comment again and you mention you are getting a comparative ball speed. Now that really seems odd as it is way off distance wise. As krusher74 stated... try a different ball or use a different launch monitor.
Thank you! After seeing this vid i used it in a comp today. Led to a gross 73 playing of an 8 hcp ❤
Love that, well done!!!
Thanks!
Thank you!!
190yds with a 7 iron. I can but dream ... 😄
Nice vid not a lot of coaches talk about impact 💪🏾
You can also go straight into the back swing from the impact position.
Thanks
Just need to be mindful not to try and hold on to the angles too long. The key for me is to create as much lag as possible early on but release the angle into the ball (or just past). An impact bag helps with this feel
Is the technique same for 4 iron which low loft already ?
Pain stewart wrote an article in the early 90s about flexing in to the proper strike position against a corner of a wall, in the hotel room. Especially on bad weather days when on the road
Would you do this with wedges as well? Or is this more of a long/medium iron advice?
Yes with the wedges!
Great advice , I'd like to ask in old days they would teach things like capital Y at address to little y .
Would this be similar
Whenever I try to add more shaft lean, it closes the face to path huge. It'll go 170+ which it great, but big hooks left. What feel can keep FTP square?
Ball position in your stance is too far back towards your back foot or you have a slight outside-in swing plane.
So instead of delofting the club, Why not just use a different club? Or buy a different set of clubs that has different lofts on them?
Your winter is horrible? Haha looks like the grass is still green, I live in Canada and we won't even see the grass for another 5 months!!!
Unfortunately where I live there isn't any driving ranges open until at least April. 😢😢
I smiled at that too. I live in the SE of England (outside London) and we play througthout the winter. To be fair, I think from Ali's accent he is based in the north of England where it is a harder winter but even so, to say the winter weather is horrible is probably pushing it a little :)
My swing speed with my 7 is only around 65 mph. Trying to pick up speed typically ends up in really rubbish shots. I’m a 68 years old senior golfer with 13 handicap. Friends tell me I have a great tempo but 120 yards with 6 iron gets frustrating 😊
You just describe me 😀 I'm 67 yr. Started at 44, 7i club head speed crappy 67 mph but I can beat every now and then my 20 yr younger buddies with my better short game but secretly I wish I could smoke my drive 😀
Deloft promotes hands in front, the rest is alignment and tempo. Always play my wedges delofted as well 52°120 carry, pw 130, 56 110, 58 100, 60 90
Actually... hands in front promotes de-loft. Good point though.
Can you achieve the same by placing the ball further back in your stance.
Somewhat yes from a logical standpoint, but your swing plane will change as well as your point of contact with the ball at the apex of your downswing. This has potential to inhibit distance as well as applying more back spin.
Which iron are you smashing it 192+ yards with???
Great video btw!
He said 7 iron
As much as I've tried over the years, I can't seem to compress the ball correctly unless I start my swing in semi finishing position.
New Golfer and understand concept, just wondering why you would just use a lower loft club, rather than take away loft. Again, New golfer just trying to understand. Thanks, great videos.
I think this is basically for people to learn that the hands should be more forward of the ball at impact. Most lose distance because their hands are even with the ball at impact, or behind it,, trying to help get the ball in the air, which looses distance.. This drill helps keep a decending blow at impact , which is what you want..
Does it work for hybrids, and 5 woods, I wonder?
Good video Ali, but when taking a full swing and ripping through, most of us lose sense of what we are doing and what our hands, wrists, the club head and face are doing at that speed. We already know the ultimate position at impact. We just can't get there because of the blur that happens from the top down to impact. That's where many of us need help. Help us not lose it between those two points. Why are we losing it? How do we maintain that angle between the arm and the shaft from the top ending with shaft lean at impact? A new video on that topic would be much appreciated
Try avoiding a swing with all arms. The more arms and wrist the more chance of error. Swing with your shoulders by starting your backswing with your forward shoulder and then at the top of your backswing start your downswing with your back shoulder. Rotating hips and shoulders accordingly as well as shifting your weight from back to front. Go easy on this routine... it may throw your back out if not gradually worked into it. In your initial stance start with your hands slightly in front of the ball. Only do this with your mid to short irons.
@@gvanhove thanks for the suggestions. I have been working hard on letting my arms and hands sling through without tension in reaction to the shifting of pressure to my left foot and the rotation of the body. I struggled hitting it fat in the fairway and around greens. I finally learned that the proper rotation of the hips is a big key for me. Making sure the right hip goes back, even a little towards the target, rather than swaying (even a little ) and rotating. This puts me in a better position to shift into the left side with much less effort and economy of motion. Anyway... appreciate you taking the time to read and respond to my reply to Ali
That was good …all demo very little waffle…US utubers take note!!! And you didn’t fiddle the machine to get the launch angle down, fair play to you. Dublin.
Dot a lot of golfers have trouble closing the face when they make this change?
Why not just use the lower loft club?
The Pros have the swing speed to deloft an 8 iron to a 6 iron and hold the green. The average hacker does not. Average golfers need trajectory to hold greens. Delofting with shaft lean is all the rage now. But unless you have the swing speed, these shots would not be functional. You'd be sailing thru greens. Good if you need a wind cheater shot.
The solution is to use a spinnier ball.
you are absolutely correct - slower swing player launch low too with little back swing
I think you’re missing the point and you should take your 14 handicap over to the corner and have a seat. It’s quiet time for you now
Most average hackers rarely reach the green. They’d be delighted if it ran through.
That s why asian lpga pros dont care shaft lean. For slow swinger, just little bit shaft lean is ok.
I'm 68 hit my 8 iron 155 yds
So if you don’t hit it with a delofted 7 iron every time your 7 iron is anything between 133 yds to 200 yds! Brilliant for course management.
It’s just about trying to be more consistent, if you’re happy with 133 instead of 170 that’s fine
you totally miss understand this whole videp
You should have kept the same swing speed instead of increase it to prove the ball goes further.
It will increase club head speed as well. The small pick up in speed is only a faction of the pick up.
Make me a sandwich
Fast forward to 2:55.
Getting a lower launch is achievable with a slow swig speed - this is misleading - most people don’t have the speed and that’s the issue
Need to put the back in your stance a bit.
Why not just put the ball back in your stance,which will change your low point.
Most teachers are teaching a pro type swing for young athletic golfers. This is why when they say hit it like the pros l just move on.
In your demo of the poor shot, your wrists start unhinging/releasing too soon, at the start of the downswing. That's my problem! How do you prevent THAT?
That was the purpose of this video. Do the setup he is demonstrating to avoid early release of the club.
I did. It doesn't work.
Can't you just play the ball farther back in your stance?
Most golfers just move less towards the target and still get the same impact.
@@AliTaylorGolf So do you think either method is fine?
We're u based pal

Do any tips or tricks or gimmicks on UA-cam from anyone really a game breaking tip or has really helped??? 😂. Not too many if any.
It’s all about making changes, if you try everything you watch and keep changing you will never improve.
Tips on YT are like finding a doctor. You have to find one suited to your game. Not all pros are created equal.
I just hit the ball so low when I try this?
Probably not a good idea for players with lower club head speed.
The problem I see with this approach is some golfers will try to hold the angle and therefore will not release the club resulting in slower swing speed. The ball will travel lower but not very far.
You need to put more speed in then.
Nicklaus said a million times "you can't release to early on the downswing ".........doesnt that fly in the face of what your saying?
Nicklaus was a fader of the ball and we need to remember that feel and real can be very different.
Why always try to de loft a club ? Take an other one
I think the moral of the story is that you should have some shaft lean at impact, The hands in front at impact
@@terrythomas790 Yes for sure but this compression make the swing plan more difficult to re produce. One good example is Moe Norman ( hall of fame) with little divot and incredible accuracy.
dude, invest in some lighting
ADD 30 YARD!!!!!!! 🤣😅😂🤣😅
I see all of these videos from you You Tube golf pros showing us mere mortals how to hit the ball. Everyone of you demonstrate these positions and show how we should do it but then you strike the ball with "your" golf swing and your not even close to being in those positions. I play daily Im a single figure golfer and Im never in those positions and never see anyone else in them either. Its a feeling of shaft lean at impact and a downward ball then ground strike that you want and need to hit the ball pure. Just saying....
😂
Yep no one except pros are even close to this position. Its nearly impossible
You are pulling up to much, you aren't exaggerating your shot
this delofting covering the ball and compression is all bull shit. If you have a 30 degree club why deloft to a 17 degree club grab a 2 iron instead
Oh dear....dear dear dear....dear dear dear....
Compression and sweet spot honey pie.
Shaft lean is insanely overrated and golf is proving that fact. Neutral to +0.5 to 1 degree is all any golfer needs to play well.
