- Hi, my name's Nick Drane.
00:06
I'm a PGA professional and master fitting specialist
00:08
here at the Titleist Performance Center at Woburn.
00:11
In this video, we're gonna talk about
00:12
how to start pushing your irons.
00:14
The fundamentals within your setup
00:16
are gonna help you deliver the club in the correct fashion
00:19
to get the golf ball in your right direction.
00:21
A lot of the time I see incorrect setup position
00:24
primarily around ball position.
00:26
So if I demonstrate for you now,
00:28
if I have the ball positioned too far back in my stance,
00:32
that's gonna cause the club to swing out to the right
00:35
with the club face open primarily,
00:37
and it's gonna allow the ball to stay right at my target.
00:40
Ideally, what we'd like to see
00:42
is the ball just left of middle.
00:44
So as I come into the golf ball,
00:47
my club is now swinging more towards my target
00:50
with the club face square to my path,
00:52
and then I can start it at my target
00:54
with a much straighter golf shot.
00:56
One key part of being able to hit your irons
00:58
in the right direction is being properly fit for them.
01:01
So you're a PGA professional,
01:02
so they can fit you accordingly for your right lie angle,
01:05
which is gonna help you with a tighter shot dispersion.
01:07
I'm now gonna demonstrate to you
01:09
what happens if the ball position
01:10
is too far back in my stance.
01:12
You'll see my target, the flag, out in front.
01:15
If I now show you into my setup,
01:16
my shoulders are now aligned
01:22
a long way to the right of my target.
01:24
If I put the ball position just left of middle
01:27
where I ideally want it,
01:28
my shoulders are now properly aligned.
01:33
I can go ahead and hit the shot at my target.
01:35
As you can see, that ball flew towards my target.
01:46
The golf swing hasn't changed,
01:47
but I've made sure that my fundamentals are correct.
01:50
A really simple exercise you can do
01:51
to keep an eye on your fundamentals
01:53
and your ball position is with a couple of alignment sticks
01:56
or a couple of golf clubs will do as well,
01:58
is pop one down parallel to your feet,
02:00
and then I've got my other alignment stick
02:02
relative to my ball position.
02:03
So as you'll see here,
02:04
it is just left of middle,
02:08
and it's gonna ensure that I have the correct ball position
02:11
every single time.
