One Move To Help You Pure Every Iron & Hybrid Shot You Hit

Transcript Summary-

I’ve just come off a lesson with Adam who flew in all the way from the US. He was desperate to find more distance and strike his irons more solidly. And honestly, it was super cool — in less than 15 minutes we added almost 30 yards to his irons. The crazy thing is, we didn’t get him swinging harder or putting in loads of extra effort. We simply changed a couple of things in his backswing to unlock more energy and momentum. In his own words, it felt so much easier.

Now, what Adam was doing before was really common. He set up with his feet very straight and his pelvis locked in place. From there, the club would lift very steeply and then just come down on the ball. He could strike it, but there was no arc to the swing — and without an arc, you can’t create that sling or catapult effect that generates effortless speed. So, yes, he struck it okay, but the distance just wasn’t there.

The first step was to unblock his swing. I got him to flare out his trail foot, which immediately freed up his hips and pelvis. Suddenly he could pivot much more comfortably, make a bigger turn, and track his hands around his body instead of just lifting them up and down. Straight away, his backswing had shape and width. That put him into a powerful position without straining or forcing anything.

Once he started pivoting properly, the difference was massive. His hands tracked on an arc, his belt buckle and trail pocket moved into the right positions, and from there he could let the club release and catapult through the ball. Within a few swings, shots that used to go 130 yards were flying 145 — sometimes even over 150. He couldn’t believe it, because it felt easier, not harder.

From there, I showed him how momentum naturally builds speed. We swung the club like a pendulum, and he could feel how his body wanted to rise and move upward to match that momentum. That’s where effortless power comes from — blending a solid pivot, a good arc, and then letting the body rise and release at the right time.

By the end of the session, Adam’s seven iron — normally a 130-yard club — was flying 156 yards. More than two clubs extra distance, with less effort. And most importantly, the strikes sounded and felt so much better.

So if you’re like Adam, hitting it solid but always surprised the ball doesn’t go further, there’s a good chance your swing is blocked. Free up your backswing, create that arc, and you’ll be amazed how the club starts catapulting through the ball. If you’d like more detail on the exact steps we went through, I’ll link to another video that walks you through it. But until next week — have a wonderful golfing.

Full Transcript- So, I've just come off a lesson with Adam. Flew in from the US, desperately wanted to hit the ball a little bit further and strike all his clubs a little bit better. Was super cool. In less than 15 minutes, we added almost 30 yards to his iron shots just to get going. And we didn't do it by giving him loads of extra energy or getting him to hit it harder. We just changed some simple things in his back swing. So, yes, he had more energy stored and then just in some simple momentum stuff which really ramped up his power. and in his own words, it just felt much much easier. I'd love to take the time to share it with you today. Before I do though, look, if you're new to the channel, your first lessons of mine, please consider subscribing. I release golf videos just like this one every single week to try and help you improve your game. Plus, as always, you never have to remember a thing. Everything we learn here will put into a free download or practice guide in the description box below. Let's jump into the lesson. No, no, no, no, no, nope, nope, nope.

So, let's pop it in here for a second. So, the one thing you said you'd love to get again, you'd love to get some more power, wouldn't you, in what you're doing, right? So, what I'm seeing um what we saw on the golf course and um ultimately we need to unblock your swing so that we can generate more effortless power. Now, what you've got at the moment is this. You're getting yourself set up and what I'm seeing is this pelvis is still locked in place. Oh, I should flare. And what and the feet here. I need to flare. Yeah. Yeah. The feet are very straight on. The golf club then tracks much more this way like this. So it's very up and then it hits down. So you don't have any form of arc to the swing. And it's the arc. The more we can track this on an arc, the more we can get this kind of catapult effect where the club can sling and create this kind of like bang speed, right? Natural speed, effortless speed. But what you do is and you do a really good job of this. You you take the club up, but then you and you come down on the go. So you can get strike, but it doesn't always then correlate to distance. Right. Right. And this is obviously going to A lot of times I'm surprised that the ball didn't go farther. Exactly. Exactly. Right. So, so what we need to do is we need to make sure that you're getting you want to get the most out of your swing and you need to tap into more of that speed. Right. So, what we're going to do is we're going to unblock this swing. Right. We're going to unblock it so that you're able naturally without any any discomfort, you're effortlessly going to be able to unblock the turn in your back swing because look at what happens here. Look as I turn back here. My hips are moving. You're right. I needed my and then my shoulder and where are my hands tracking here? Can you see how my hands are tracking on an arc around my body? Yeah. Where's my left shoulder? And you see where see my hands are over here somewhere. Yeah. Right. Your hands are over here are over here. So now from here I can then attract and I can let this club catapult through the shot. Okay. Yep. So but to do that we're going to unblock this foot here. So notice this. This right foot here is very important. was flared it out a little bit and notice here can sense you see my pelvis is is pointing in this direction now I can pivot I've got all the space so I'm not putting any strain on my body if anything I'm just unlocking it so I can make a a bigger movement yeah so if you get yourself set we're going to do this together okay okay great so I want you to take your right foot flare it outwards right there you go right beautiful right I just need to there so notice this Yeah. Do that again for me. Yeah, that's it. Notice how as you flare it out, notice how your hands are tracking here. The club's tracking there. Keep going around. Beautiful. And from here, you're pivoting, look around, around that left hip. See the difference there? Yeah. You pivoted. Beautiful. Now your hands are tracking. There you go. Now look at this. Where's your belt buckle pointing now? To you. More this direction. Right. Where's your right pocket pointing as you do this? Back and towards the target more, isn't it? Right. So, keep going. Brilliant. There we go. Left shoulder's going down. Hands are working in pockets's working towards the top. More pocket. Right. Yeah. You go pocket pivot round. Good. And again. One more time. Try and keep your this next to my hand. Don't watch this. See the seal? Look up. Don't move this. Don't move this away from my hand. So start again. Don't move away from my hand. And pivot. See a difference there? Yeah. And again. Difference. Oh yeah. Cuz then this is too much of a sway. Yeah. Well, the thing is if you sway over there then you you got to you can do that. But you can still get back. But it's harder, isn't it? Right. So, what we're doing is we're creating a pivot and we're p we're pivoting. Look, next to here. Feel that? Yeah. Yeah. And again, there you go. Keep going. Keep it Keep it next to my hand. There you go. Makes sense. Yeah. Right. What's different for you there? It feels better. Yeah. In what way? I'm making a bigger circle. Bigger circle. Now, notice this. How much easier is it to make a circle if you just do this? much, isn't it? Much. So, even though you're saying about our flexibility, you've got loads of flexibility if you move correctly. Yeah. Keep it against the wall. There you go. That's it. Right. So, make a movement now. And what often happens with golf is so you've been getting strike by going this way. But we get strike by getting forward this way. So, the further you are forward here, the more you'll strike it. the f and then what happens if you slide over here you then go like this to try to try and strike it. Correct. See the difference? Right. But if you keep here, you don't have to do that. Yeah. Now, now that's And again, now push against me now with this. There you go. Now you've got strike. And again. No. No. Oh, again. You moved away. Yeah. Pivot. There you go. There we go. Got it. Yeah. Okay. Have a go. So, all we're doing is unblocking the arc now. Pause. Pause. Pause. Flare those feet out. Flare those feet out. Both sides. There you go. That's giving that mobility. Yeah, it's helping that. There you go.

Wow. It felt good, but I still don't see it. That's a rocket. Oh, there it is. That is a rocket. Whoa, that was a good one. That was And that for for your club head speed, that's your bottom of your swing. Now, naturally, look, is 2.6 in after the golf ball. Good. That's absolutely fine for you, right? With your speed. Much much better. Total distance 145 yards with what? What club is that? Uh, that's my 130 club. Pardon? That my 130 club. And that's gone. What? 140. That That's That's an extra club. 145. Yeah. Yeah. So, and all we've done is get you in a sense into a powerful position to pivot and unblock that. That last swing felt really good. It's no flute. Let's do it a few more times. Okay. Feet out. Okay, off we go again.

How's that feel? Good, but I can't see it. It's far. It's far. How come I can't see the ball? The last one. The last one was 145. What's this one? 147. So, club ball. Okay, I'm going to try the glasses again. So, get yourself set again. Sorry. Ready? Just do a rehearsal for me. I'm going to put my hand here. Right. Make a nice So unblock as you flare the foot. You unblock the swing. Yeah. That's it. Pivot. Now when you pivot this, this doesn't stay still as in like watch this. It's not this. There you go. Look at this. This is allowed to move, but it just stays. You follow? Yeah. It just doesn't move sideways. Ready? Pivot. There you go. There you block it. There you go. Feel it freer. Yeah. Yeah. How much freer does that feel? Better. Yeah. Great.

Oh my god. Did you hear that one? I saw. Did you hear the sound of that? Did you see it? I see that one. Wow. That was just a beautiful sound. But not as far as the other one. No, it wasn't. That's But do you know what? It's not about that one. Look at the strike. 140 yards. Oh, that was that was fine. Yeah. 140 yards, but it's three inches after the golf ball. You've absolutely nutted that one. You can hear that, can't you? Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful. Beautiful strike. Well done. Little left. A little fat. Little fat. Little fat. Which means I know what I'm doing. So, pause there. What does that mean? That means I'm not um turning. I'm doing this. So, pause there. You should be doing that. So, what I would look to here is this. I didn't look from this side, but what we might see the chances are if you started hitting a little bit heavy, the chances are this has moved. So yes, makes sense. Yes. Yeah. Because it moves and I do that. Yeah. If you here, well, you have to find it again. So if you find that from here, if you find that you're doing this, that's fine. But the problem is you got to find a way of getting back there. Yeah. I don't want to do that. But if we keep this here and pivot. Yeah. You can then move forward even more and guarantee the strike. So now push against me. Do that. Pivot. Pivot. Slowly slowly. Okay. Pivot. Now push against me. There you go. Pivot again. Push against me. I got to do that. That's it. Yeah. So when I do this, I Yeah. Well, you can do it, but it's hard. Can you Can you see how hard I want to do that? Feel that. Okay. I want to do that. There you go. There you go. Beautiful. Right. Now, do one more time. Swing back. Push against me now with the hip. There you go. Now you come back in. Okay. Yeah. All right.

Felt good.

That felt really good. So you're consistently look at this 142.3 there. So you're consist which is better than usual. Well, more importantly, does it feel like you're trying really hard? No. No. And that's the whole point, is it? We want to increase our distance without loads of effort, right? And so this the simplest way to do that is to build a swing that has two things. One, has a solid strike every time and two has an arc to it so that you generate the basically the catapult effect. If you have an arc, you're already going to naturally without any extra effort. Increase your speed. Yeah. Brilliant. Hold the club out in front of you for a second. Oh, okay. Let me just put it in the middle there. Okay. Right. Hold it like this again. Oh. Oh, yeah. Right. Now, just so the club's now swinging with momentum, right? Let it swing with men. Don't do anything. Oh, don't do anything yet. Feel that. Right. Y. Now, what I want you to do now as it swing, we have momentum, don't we? Right. I want you now as it's swinging to figure out how do we increase that momentum at the right time?

Keep going. Keep going. In your own way. Good. And again. Feel that. Yeah. There's a move. There's a rise and a fall, isn't there? Up. Just just sense that in your entire body. Now, imagine your body at the end of this now doing it. So, imagine this. Keep swinging. Right. Imagine what your body would be doing on the way through to help you do this. Go on. Keep

going. Would it be going down and forward or would it be working upwards? Upwards. Wouldn't it? There you go. So, where's your body working to try and increase the speed? Is it working downwards or upwards? Upwards, isn't it? Yeah. Keep going. Watch this. Ready? Look at this.

Look at what I'm doing. Yeah. Look at the difference. Look where the club ends up and speed. Now, watch this. I'm going to match my body to this now. Watch this. Up we go. Where am I going? Up. I'm rising. I am rising. I'm trying to match this momentum. So now look, momentum. Where's my body going? Up. Upwards. Upwards. Right. Rather than forwards. Because if we stay down, there's no real pe we we there's nothing there. So just it's subtle. But this is why this is where speed is and it's very natural effortless power is right. Do that again for me. Feel it first. Slowly slowly. You have to do this quick. That's it. Just feel how your body's going to pick up that momentum. Stay down on one. Notice how little power there is. Right. And then gently and up. Yeah. Bigger. Much more. And up. And again. Up. Feel that? Yep. Keep going. One more time. Stay. There you go. Now, when you when you go up, don't go up and this way. Just go. Just go up. Up. Let it release there. If you That's it. Let it go up. There you go. And up. Good. Right. Now, jump into the golf ball. Right. And what you're going to do now, it's all set. Make a movement now. Right where you get the the making that lovely arc. Weights there. Here. Lovely pivot. Right. See if you can get a sense of that bigger pivot.

Feel that? Feels better. Yeah. Okay. Make a pivot.

That's it. Right. Okay. And again, it's offset. Now the key, remember this. The foundation is the pivot. Yeah. All right.

That felt better. That felt better. So different. So different. That felt better. That's an absolute belter.

Tell me what that number says. Get out. Your thing is broken. That That That's a lot. 152. That's That's a lot. And what club's that? Seven. Seven. There's my normal 130 135. All right. So, so what you're doing is is you're combining the two things together. But I'm not getting the speed up. No, no, no. I don't have to. No, they don't have to. You you by the way you have got speed up cuz you was so much bear in mind this is a 79. So you won't have the same speed with a highway driver. The driver speed is going to be higher, right? But no, the speed's good. The difference is is what you're doing now is you're generating more speed and power because you're creating the app one. But then what you've got to do is you then got to find a way of letting that club go. And that's where that feeling comes in. That was my best strike of the day. Absolutely. Yeah. Brilliant. Well done. Really, really well done. And a little more pocket. That's it. You got it.

A little left, but it was okay. So much better though, but not as good as the last one. Not as good as the last one. Not as good as the last one. But do you know what we 130? You're still 143.6. That's That's good. We'll We'll take it. We'll take it. We'll take it. Very good. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Keep going. Good. Love it. Yeah. Same again. So, I'm I'm looking at that left hip and I'm saying, "Are you keeping that left hip? Are you pivoting there?" Brilliant. Pivot. Left shoulder down. There you go. Beautiful. Well done.

Oh my word. That felt good. You can hear it, can't it? It's great that you're feeling it.

Can we just have a Can you just have a look at that yardage? That's nuts. That That is nuts. Just just just just shout out what that yardage is. 156 and a half. This is my 130 club. I know. I know. Yeah. Great. Yeah. So, the difference is now is like I said, that's it. So, you've got ultimately you've got first of all, you're keeping it simple. You're you're creating solid contact by going a great pivot. You're swinging on an AR which then create that's how you catapult the club, but then you're allowing the club to catapult with that final piece which is into the ball.
