Hi, my name is Nick Drane. I'm a PGA professional and Master Fitting Specialist here at the
00:09
Titleist Performance Centre at Woburn. In this video, we're going to talk about how to start
00:12
pushing your irons. The fundamentals within your setup are going to help you deliver the club in
00:17
the correct fashion to hit the golf ball in your right direction. A lot of the time I see incorrect
00:23
setup position primarily around ball position. So if I demonstrate for you now, if I have the
00:29
ball position too far back in my stance, that's going to cause the club to swing out to the right
00:35
with the club face open primarily and it's going to allow the ball to stay right of my target.
00:40
Ideally, what we'd like to see is the ball just left of middle. So as I come into the golf ball,
00:47
my club is now swinging more towards my target with the club face square to my path and then I can start
00:53
it at my target with a much straighter golf shot. One key part of being able to hit your irons in
00:58
the right direction is being properly fit for them. See a PGA professional so they can fit you
01:03
accordingly for your right lie angle, which is going to help you with a tighter shot dispersion.
01:07
I'm now going to demonstrate to you what happens if the ball position is too far back in my stance.
01:12
You'll see my target, the flag, out in front. If I now show you into my setup,
01:21
my shoulders are now aligned a long way to the right of my target. If I put the ball position just
01:26
left of middle where I ideally want it. My shoulders are now properly aligned,
01:33
I can go ahead and hit the shot at my target.
01:43
As you can see, that ball flew towards my target. The golf swing hasn't changed,
01:47
but I've made sure that my fundamentals are correct. A really simple exercise you can do
01:51
to keep an eye on your fundamentals and your ball position is with a couple of alignment sticks,
01:55
or a couple of golf clubs will do as well, is pop one down parallel to your feet.
02:00
And then I've got my other alignment stick relative for my ball position. So as you'll see here,
02:07
it is just left of middle and it's going to ensure that I have the correct ball position every single time.
02:12
So
02:22
I'll see you in the next one.
