Golf Swing Basics - The PERFECT Iron Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- The setup serves as the foundational element of your golf swing. Ensuring it is executed correctly will naturally lead to the development of a proficient golf swing. However, if the setup is done incorrectly, you will constantly need to make adjustments, leading to inconsistency and subpar golf performance.
Below are the key checkpoints and timestamps:
00:00 Intro
00:25 Stance Width = Edges of shoulders line up with centre of ankles
01:00 Foot Flare = Flare lead foot. Trail foot can be square or flared
01:34 Pelvis Position = Pelvis is slightly closer to lead foot. Weight 60/40 favouring lead leg
02:16 Spine Tilt = Slight tilt away from target
02:57 Ball Position = Under lead ear/logo on top
04:33 Shaft Lean = Lead arm and club in one straight line
05:08 The Grip = Needs to match your swing
05:50 Posture = Pressure even between toes and heels.
07:40 Balance points = Armpits, fronts of knees and balls of feet lined up
08:09 Posture Drill
08:47 Shoulder Alignment = Shoulders affect path more than feet. Point them where you want your path to go
09:41 Feet Alignment = Can be used to help aid in rotation

Hi everyone, which is the most important part for your game?
80 yards and inside... I have a hard time adjusting to the different conditions and different strength of swing to get a controlled approach shot. I wish I can just confidently get up and down from 80 yards in. I almost feel more comfortable having a 100-125 yard approach.
@@robjung2018 a lot of golfers are the same but I do have videos on wedge play so check them out as I simply those shots down
Seriously one of three best videos out there. The ability to do this with no cuts is impressive. Perfect explanation. Love it mate
Thank you Andy!
These fundamentals are key. Just watch your latest video where you talk about the setup but this is a whole new level. Thank you
They are! It’s the first thing you always need to check when things go wrong
Thank you for this! I love how systematic it all is. Has given me some great checkpoints to use
Glad it was helpful!
Really good explanation of the basic set up, Thank you
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliantly explained Giles cheers young man 👌🍻
Thank you!
Excellent Summary. Really good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely brilliant easy and simple go to guide
This will be the most saved video on golf and will be one that many will watch over and over when their swing goes wonky
Great job and much appreciated. Cheers🍻
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
@@Gilesgillgolf bro I just went over to the park and hit about 80 balls and have never hit them as well
Thank you and now I can teach the grand kids . Cheers 🍺🍻
@@rayblazejko6908 perfect! Goes to show the fundamentals are key
Gonna practice this tomorrow. The way you explained initial setup and the checkpoints was really helpful.
Thank you! Hope it helped
Insightful and detailed nicely
Thank you
The shoulder tip is the best for me
Awesome! Hope it helps
Hi. You are the best and top of all of those I saw. Well done keep up, I will keep following. Great, that's what I actually meant.
Thank you!
fantastic video. Have been playing for around 25 years and have a 9HC. A great check on all set up aspects and one of the biggest improvements in my strike has come from altering my feet pressure at address from 50/50 to more like 60/40 favouring the lead foot. Have got back into the 70's again.
Fantastic! Shows how small changes make a huge difference
Love ❤️ it
Thank you!
great info wanted to go back to basics after a bad round...
Smart choice!
Thanks for the video; would you add to this video: soling the iron properly and how soling the club affects the angle formed at the top of the left wrist and the top of the left thumb. The most important part of my game, that needs improvement, is hitting my approach shots, closer to the pin, with my 7, 8 and 9 irons and with my wedges. Also, I hit my 52 and 56 degree wedges too high.
Soling the iron should happen naturally and depends on arm length. The toe of the club will be off the ground slightly
The most difficult part of my game is learning to transition 2/3 of the way through my backswing and transferring to my downswing.
Got plenty of videos on that 👍🏻
Hi, enjoy watching your videos. Now do you grip tge club once you have setup with a small amount of tilt (right shoulder lower then the left) or grip then setup.
Doesn’t matter 👍🏻
@Gilesgillgolf only if I grip then tilt the club face on irons point up same as my driver as your wrists tilt..
@@keithdownes2554 highlighting the issue is either your grip, arm positioning or the way you’re adding tilts
even when using long iron ball position is still the same ?
Yes, under lead ear/logo
