Missed the deal! Bought 2 sets the day they dropped again. As I damaged my first set. Grateful to have been able to order a fresh replacement :)
@@66stangRhthanks for ordering and we hope you love them!! ❤
@ontheroadwithiona I most certainly love them! So grateful I could replace the ones I damaged! They came very quickly, too!
You should do more drill videos, Iona, because everything you do and say makes complete sense and is so simple love it
Seconded
Thanks Iona will give this ago. Professional men's golf is so hard to emulate as an amateur, so quick and aggressive, love the calmness of women's golf. You make it seem so effortless.
Women's golf is a lot more relatable for average golfers for sure
Iona thanks!! I have to say, I was a bit sceptical about this as I thought you hit it straight etc anyway, but wow!! I tried it on the range today and (as you said) with my feet together I was amazed at how straight and far the ball actually went. I decided to use it as a quick pre-shot routine for feel and my driving was so much better on the course today. Thank you and please try it everyone 😊😊
I want to thank you for this drill, I went out this morning and executed this drill. I’m in my mid sixties now, I believe I gained 15 to 20 yards after doing this. Thank you Iona !!!
Thank you for this drill Iona. I play off 5 but struggled badly for last 6 weeks. Stumbled on this video. Tried it today then went for 9 holes..... I feel cured. Now just need to remember how to putt! 😂
You knew how to putt??? tell me, tell me, tell me......
Thanks for re-enforcing the importance of this drill. The first time I saw this was through YT; Danny Maude a few months ago. I shared it with a friend and now he takes a practice swing with his feet together before every shot. Thinking I might follow his lead.
Great structures you bring to practice. Beats mindlessly pummelling balls with no clear intent.
I also love the positivity and kindness that you bring. The best golf and life videos out there.
You're a truly good soul Iona. Thank you and keep them coming. 👍👍👍👌👌👌
Oh my gosh! Love this video! What a beautiful driving range! I've hit balls like this with my feet together at the range for years- before I saw any instruction video. It WORKS! Friends are amazed how far (and straight) you can hit it this way! Sometimes I lay a towel down and hit balls like this from my knees! It really helps you flatten out your swing. Thanks for a great video, and BTW, I love your accent! ⛳😎
You're absolutely brilliant ... i say this as a scratch golfer simply enjoying the way YOU enjoy and love the game ... the passion within you is infectious to the bone ... keep it up... I'm sharing this to my Golf-Page for most Icelandic golfers to enjoy ;) ;)
Perfect timing as I found something similar myself last week at the range. I realized I was diving at the ball, and focusing on swinging the club with my arms made a huge difference. I played the best I have in ages after working on this.
WOW! Absolutely the best explanation of how your body works when creating a proper swing. Can’t wait to get to the driving range and use this drill. Thank you again Iona for your insights.
Thank you, makes complete sense to my crazy brain, I'm like you stated , focused on the ball ,so my swing can get steep, over the top trying to smash the ball, the worst thought for a club golfer. I'll definitely use this drill with when on the range. 9:39
I love the simplicity of your instructional videos. Very focused, very calm and leave a lot for people to put their own swing in. Definitely going to use this one. Thank you.
I agree with emphasizing arms, wrists, and (most importantly) hands. For years I followed an instructor that emphasized body and de emphasized arms. I ended up with a bad back. Now I follow Mike Malaska which has freed me to use my arms and hands. Watch Bernard Langer’s timeless swing where he pumps his arms. His body reacts to his arms, not the opposite.
100% true
Totally agree
Dare I ask if that was a UA-cam instructor and who it was?
I learned this drill myself back in the 1990's and occasionally use it (when I remember to) and it's effective. I used it to ingrain the sense of balance because I too would feel myself slipping into the "Reverse Pivot"... a slicer's nightmare. Now, I've changed my swing and produce more of a draw (that's completely unreliable) and at my age, a stiff back promotes a short and block swing. This drill, I now use to help loosen my back before taking the full, driver swings on the practice range.
Exceptional content. Thank you for all the help and entertainment.
John Jacobs used to recommend this back in the seventies as the best drill to develop a free arm swing. It really works.
60s
Love this simple drill. I've used this previously as I had a terrible sway. This has eliminated it and I now turn so much better. This one really works.!!!!
Trued this on the range, and started to enjoy ball striking again. May lose some distance but on average confident that game will be so much more consistent and stress free. Thank you Iona.
I absolutely love everything you are involved in. Whether it’s Chasing or tips like this. Keep up the great work 🤗
Iona , great drill I've used it many times and it always works to sort out my swing ...You should think about playing again your swing is absolutely beautiful .. keep up the outstanding work on this channel the best on YT period
Great drill! I use this drill for my beginner high school golfers. It's also a great reset if a golfer is struggling.
This is exactly what I’ve struggled with for about 5 years now.. steep and over the top. Of course not always but with my bad swings. Too many of those even yesterday.
One of the best videos and most useful videos I have ever seen on the subject. Will do this every range session from now on😊.
Thx Iona and keep up the good work!👏⛳️
A great drill & reminder on keeping the swing simple. Thanks Iona 👍
I discovered this drill a few years ago and always warm up with it, it really works!
Great tip Iona. Playing tomorrow, hoping to break 90. Wish me luck 😁👍
Genius...... looks so simple and easy to do I'm going to give it a go. I've always struggled to rotate keeping the legs and hips in the under control which makes me cast the club. Regular lessons have helped me get to playing off 14, and my coach always keeps things simple as he knows I struggle to action anything too complicated or technical, this looks brilliant. Thanks again for the constant great content.
Oh Iona thank you thank you thank you I did this & what a difference it has made in so many ways I am now currently doing 2 swings with feet together as part of my pre shot routine wow
Hi Iona I am just back from the driving range I used this drill and then hit some full shots I hit the center of the club face much more regularly after the drill. Thank you very much for sharing.
Great tip Iona, I always go back to this narrow stance when I "lose" my in to out path. Also moving the ball a little further back in my stance, just to get the feeling back.
I cannot wait to do this drill A LOT. Starting tomorrow morning ! Thank you thank you thank you
Following up! I really had a great experience doing this and plan to make many more visits to the range to do this drill!
Been playing for years now hit 73 the other day and I put it down to some of your tips Iv watched xx keep them coming
Thanks for the drill. Can't wait to give this a shot at the range!
Thank you from Canada this drill is helping me so much thank.
I remember drills like this and it will really help me. Thanks so much, I had a really dispiriting day on the course the other day and I wanted to go back out and work on solid contact without my body jumping around like I was electrocuted
Tried this yesterday and I can honestly say i have never hit the ball off the tee better. I love the fact that it’s such a simple concept - it doesn’t fill your head with a 1000 swing thoughts. Thanks Iona.
Iona, you are an absolute gem. This works, I’m tall, sway in my swing and this absolutely quietens the body. It is a gotcha moment, best tip ever
Beautiful! Around the body REALLY works. Thank you!
Such a big thank you for this!!!🎉 And much love all the way from South Africa!!❤☺️ I've been playing now since March this year and I've found that I'm pretty good at this and the bug obviously bit me straight away!😂 So from a super amateur point of view and the heading of this video hahahahaha!!😂😂 This is perfect because having the driver in my hand I always feel like it needs to hit hard and straight and it never did!!😮 This drill will definately bring me back to stage one fundamentals like that feel you were explaining!🥇👌 My handicap is now at 21.8 and I feel this drill will help so much with bringing it down... like.. a lot!!😅 Thank you for this!!!!!🤜🤛🔥🔥🔥
Great drill and valuable comments on life. A wonderful sample of what the channel offers on the whole. Thanks as always and looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Iona I have been swaying a lot in my swing but your tip has helped me to get back in balance.
The teaching pro at my local club uses this drill as almost a starter for his students, it's brilliant.!
Hey Iona, I have missed seeing your videos recently! I enjoyed this video and I tend to cast my driver and I feel this drill will help me swing around my body! Sometimes with irons I will hit them fat and on some occasions I will pull hook my irons! I appreciate you and your attitude towards golf and life. Your Joy comes across for golf and life and you are helping others to enjoy their leisure time while playing golf, I have enjoyed seeing golf courses from all over the world and love heating your comments and observations! Thanks for being a Blessing to all!! See you on the next video!! Kelly in North Carolina😊
Generally I’ve been ok swinging around with the driver and short irons, but struggled with mid to long irons. I’ll give this a crack, hopefully I can drop down off that 10.8 finally.
Thank you again for the content you produce Iona, it’s very much appreciated.
Great advice Iona. Funnily enough this is exactly what I've been working on the last few weeks. I went down the ground force rabbit hole and lost hitting the ball with my arms. Cheers
Thanks for this!!! Once a teacher changed my natural swing for a more vertical one and I only had problems since there...I´ll try with your method .
(By the way, I´ve been lucky to be at Bled twice, great place!. I´m from Argentina but my father was born in Ljubljana)
This was unbelievably helpful!!
Very simple drill, I will try the drill tomorrow!! I still use your F ,G, P. on the score card to keep track on my weaknesses. Thanks for all your hard work 😎⛳️👍
Hey thanks Iona, I have been performing that drill for years. One of my first lessons, I wanted to learn how to play a draw and that’s exactly what he had me learning. Every now and then I go back to that for a check up
Thank you, thank you for this drill. I struggle so much trying to make a consistent back swing. This drill immediately fixed my back swing. Most importantly IMHO, this drill automatically sets the wrist hinge without you having to think about it (think soft hands). It aligns the butt of the club directly at the ball/target line. If you choke up on the driver grip and stop after your wrists set, you can see the exposed portion of the grip points to the target line. Maybe you could expound on that benefit in another video. Thanks again. I subscribed to your channel. 😊
Really good drill and well presented. Thanks Iona. Keep ‘em coming.
This drill realy improve my score, Thank you so much Iona👌
Thank you for sharing this drill Iona. You always explain things in such a clear way and I appreciate the different camera angles. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks Iona for this little diamond of info. I'll take it on board and practice this. Golf is to be enjoyed not to be feared. 😊
OMG Iona thanks for sharing this...tried it yesterday and was able to move my ball launch from 4 degrees left to 2 degrees right and I have better balance...thanks again!
Thanks again for remembering to Keep it Simple, Iona! I usually match that drill with a rear foot back drill to keep myself from swaying - my biggest challenge since coming back to golf 2 years ago. Looking forward to what you have to offer next!
I always suffered with lateral movement and a bad left knee stopping my arms swinging around. My aim is to play within my limitations and have a narrower stance for my return to the greatest game of all. Thanks loved the video.
amazingly simple and so perfect. Thank you for that!
It’s a pleasure watching a beautiful woman give golf lessons than some old man give lessons…. I will try this drill thanks!!!!!
When everyone says hit "down" or "up" on the ball, it's easily forgotten. Good tip. :)
Iona, this has been my "go to" drill for whenever my swing gets too rushed. It works like a charm every time...
Thank you so much for this drill! My swing has just felt so off lately and because of that my mind has been filled with a million swing thoughts. This drill helped simplify everything to focus on the few things that matter and let my body figure out the rest. Thanks again Iona!
Really nice drill Iona I’m off to the range tomorrow to dial in on my distances either all clubs throughout the bag will warm up first by trying your drill keep the content coming x
Wow, I get all these lessons and tips for just subscribing for free. Excellent Iona keep them coming my golf is improving thanks to you..😊😊
Thank you very much. This really helped me out. Especially with my irons.
Exactly how I started off bringing the club vertical as opposed to back and around, only worked it out recently definite game changer
Great tip Iona and can’t wait to try it, I’m always fighting swaying off the ball and have been using the pulling/ starting the lawnmower feel but your drill will be a nice addition!!😊
Great drill Iona builds tempo as you can’t go hard after the ball also improves ball striking 👏
Pete Cowan was also talking about this Iona, you are so right, in future I'm going to warm up this way, you are such a selfless person Iona thank you
Great drill that I always go back to whenever I start coming over the top or suffer from information overload.
Great drill! As a cricket player this will help with my swing as cut down on it natural from years of cricket!
Keep the instruction/tips videos coming Iona. This my go-to drill when I start to come over the top (was recommended to me by an ex pro friend of mine), does make a great difference.
Excellent video Iona 🍀🍀⛳⛳
Iona, that is a drill that helped me to get back on the course and at least play 4 weeks post knee replacement 2 years ago. I can attest that it went further by helping my entire game as I gained the ability to take a more full swing as my rehab continued. Great drill!
Great drill! I'm going to take it to the driving range and implement this into my practice routine.
So good, thanks. Please do more video's. With all the talk of the body leading and swinging this shows how powerful the arms really are, Thanks again.
I really enjoyed the simplicity of your instruction. It think to myself, I can do that.
Will be trying this! Addressed everything I do not do correctly. Ty ❤
These lessons are awesome! Thank you also for the front camera angle.., it helps a lot to visualize the swing and hip movement. I clicked on the notification bell., hope my game improves soon!!
Another great video Iona brilliant drill will be taking it to the range with me also loved the little bit in the middle were you took the time just to chat about how ppl are feeling . Amazing Iona thank you so much
Pretty simple to the point practice swing drill, I am going to have to try this , Thank you Iona 👍
Love this. I struggle with consistency, especially with my driver. Will start with this on all my practice. Genius 👏👏
Morning
Great video again. I've just gone back to the same drill and have rediscovered my swing and rhythm.
Regards Mike
West Bradford Golf Club, Yorkshire
Oh my gosh is right Iona , what a great tip , just applied it in my garage and I could feel it , going to the range early tomorrow , cheers
This is a great tip. I struggle big time with coming in steep on the ball. I just about get away with it with the iron swing but driver is so hit and miss. I have only just, after nearly a year of lessons, figured out for myself that feeling of the club going around the body. This drill will make a big difference to emphasise that. Thanks Iona. Loving the content as always!
Glad I 'dropped by' to see this drill you were Raving about, then to my surprise finding it is, as you said, a longtime classic drill. I hadn't done in a long time and one my mother, an excellent club champion in her time, told me about, but I forgot about it. I will now add this to my practice routine, because you nailed it.. one of my biggest challenges has often been to have the feeling of going around verses up and down!! Even yesterday when overly tired in the heat, I could feel lapsing g I to that and had to stop to remember how to turn.. lol. This helped hugely. Thank you!! Robin
Today I tried this in my warm up on the range before playing 18 holes. Really helped me feel the swing and give me confidence. Thanks Iona from the Pacific Northwest 🌲 🏔️ 🌊 ⛅️ in the States 🇺🇸!
I am going to give this a go haven't been hitting balls for quite some time and I love any hints and tip thank you ❤
This just clicked for me the other day, found this video looking for some reinforcement to the feeling I discovered. Fixed my takeaway and its been eye opening. Straighter ball flight, gained distance, my fade is gone. Excited to work this into my driver. The hand full of balls I've hit have carried the same with 10 less mph ball speed. Great video!
Only hit a few into a net so far but good lord, never had such good contact, cannot wait to try this on the range. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Such an enjoyable and informative 10 minutes. Tx Iona and crew
Love the tip, have used this for my irons but never considers for woods, will give this a try, thanks
good stuff! been trying this drill and it makes easier for me not to overswing, and play with relaxed arms.
Can’t wait to try this out. I’ve struggled with lateral movement for a while 🙏🤞
I'm loving the look of this drill. Will go to yhe course this evening to give it a try. What a fantastic view mat he'd by the fantastic drive you hit
I was looking for a good drill for this just a couple of days ago, without really finding what I was looking for. Perfect timing of this upload and I really look forward to trying it:) Played since I was old enough to carry a club, now at hcp 8, but I have always struggled with a too steep swing, resulting in outside/in path, slices and ocassional pull hooks. So far only compensated by a bananas strong grip which causes new problems with closed club faces.
I have seen this drill a few times on YT but your explanation is the best
This is awesome! Thank you, Iona!
Great presentation and content Iona 😊
