Hey there everyone, Robin Rosado here with Top Speed Golf and today we're going to talk about how to hit your irons pure every time. I've got three easy steps for you, three things we're going to talk about, how you can get those irons and hitting them nice and solid every single time. So let's go ahead and get started.

Okay guys, so let's go ahead and get started talking about the first part of how to hit your irons solid. And that first part is actually shallowing out the golf club. So let's go and take a look to see what that really means and what I with a lot of people shallowing out that golf. We want that club.

The first move on our downswing to move in this direction. So the number one thing I see is a lot of people when they come down is get, they get a little bit too steep. So I got my trusty alignment stick here. I'm going to place it right here by halfway in the line, my alignment stick and halfway on the club.

I'm gonna take a grip it. And on the way down too steep, you would see I'd be almost be piercing my foot down in the ground. So that is too steep. So from there, a lot of people when they get too steep on the way down, they'll either kind of. Cast the club and that causes him to get hit a little bit behind him or adjust to thin it and then the last second or right at the last second like we see a ton of people do is they'll flip.

Well I can't really do it with this alignment stick. Is they'll flip right through impact. So that's what we need. That's also, if we don't shallot that club, we get a little bit too steep on the way down. We'll get a little bit too heavy. So we want that club, this is the reason why I have my alignment stick here, it's a good visual way to see to how we can shallot that club.

I'm going to set up to it. Like I normally would. And on the way down, for every tour player, when they're shouting at the club, this extension of the butt end of the club is going to be pointed either at the ball or just outside of it. Like I said, I have a tendency sometimes to get too steep. We want that to shallow it out early on the way down.

We want that butt end of the club to point outside of the golf ball. That's going to square everything up really early in our swing and give us a pretty good chance of hitting it pretty straight and pretty solid. And that's why it's really important for you to shallow the club out early. A couple of things I talk about in videos in the past, how to get that feeling if you didn't have that alignment stick.

It's to get that right elbow kind of tucking in. You can see where it does if I just take my right hand here, my right elbow is going to tuck in. You can see it's going to shell out that club early. Or we can use, if that doesn't work, let's say you don't have the flexibility to do that and your shoulder is there, you can take your right hand and all you're going to do is feel like, I don't know if you remember when, I remember when I was younger, I had a pro that used to teach me to hold a tray at the top of my golf swing.

I'm going to try to, we call that, uh, correct me Clay if I'm wrong, extension. On our way down. Yeah. So extension. So on the way down, when our right wrist to feel a little bit of extension, you can see that angle. So I see a lot of people when they're either casting, coming over to top, flipping at it, not really shallowing the golf club too steep, their right wrist on the way down is almost.

I'm going to create this angle here. So not much extension. You want to create that angle. You see my right, the top of my right hand is getting closer to my forearm. So that's kind of another way to feel shallow at the golf club. If you can't really do with that right elbow, you can do with your hands as well.

And for me, that works really well. You can see my butt in the club and now it's going to point outside that golf ball, not getting too steep. So the second part we're going to talk about is actually lag. Why we create lag with importance of lag and how that's very important to hitting your irons really solid.

Okay, so guys, so we just talked about shallowing that club early. So let's go to the progression here, the sister of shallowing out early. So if you've shallowed out early, But now we need to create lag. We need to create this angle. We want this angle of the club to sharpen up to our shoulders here. All the way down and through impact.

Why do we create lag? Kind of going on what I was saying before as far as shallowing that club. You know, you see a lot of people, they try to hit down on the golf ball. So what do they do? They get too steep. Okay, going back to shallowing the club. But also what they do is throw the club out. Kind of casting it.

Also flipping at it. So there's a lot of manipulation in order to hit it solid there. You got to do when you're casting it or flipping it. We want to create this angle. Have this angle of lag. You can still see that, what I was talking about before, as far as the extension of my right wrist. All this lag coming into the golf ball, that angle will sharpen it up here.

So I got a really good drill for you to feel. It's gonna, I'm gonna feel like my hands are coming in really low. So I'm gonna take my alignment stick here. It's gonna be right here somewhere behind me. About a foot out in front of the golf ball. So here's the golf ball about a foot out and about two feet behind me.

I'm gonna stick that club at an angle. Hopefully I can get it right around 45 degrees. Right about there. And what I'm gonna try to do is not only have my hands, that's really being friendly with me, but if I'm gonna really try to have my hands get low behind, below that Stick here if I can get it really aggressive I can go right here.

There we go So I'm gonna feel my hands get low underneath this stick And what that's also gonna help me do is shallow at that club early as well So you're gonna shallow it out and get low so you can see from this angle right here How that's forcing me, if I were to cast the club or come over the top, you can see I'm going to hit this club right here every time.

This is actually a drill that I saw Brooks Koepka do a lot. He shallows out that club very well, creates a ton of lag. So he does this here, this is his drill, feels like his hands are coming in nice and low by mean by low. So now you're creating this angle here where the club shaft is parallel to the ground with a ton of lag.

So you got all this lag here, but now we actually need to talk about releasing the lag. The number one thing I hear, I hear the worst part that the pros or teachers do, is they teach people to hold on to all this lag. We actually need to release that lag. That is not going to be a very good thing to feel lag.

It's feeling it all the way through impact. That's creating tension and a lot of other things we don't really want to do. We need to learn how to release all that lag. We've shallowed out all this lag, how to release it, and that's going to be the third part in this series here. Okay guys, so the third part about this video.

Is now that we've created, we've shallowed out the club, we've created a ton of lag, but how do we release the lag? What does it look like at impact after all that lag we've just created? So as I'm stepping onto the golf ball here, I've created this great angle, so I've shallowed it out, created this awesome angle of lag.

I'm still getting here to where the club shaft is parallel to the ground. Now, be in mind, I want you to understand, I mean, you still want to rotate your lower body through all of this. Don't forget about that, of what your body is doing as well. I'm just talking about what the path of our hands, I mean the, what our arms and upper body are really doing.

So I've created all this lag. Now how do I release it? Like I said in the last part, with creating lag, I see a lot of people when they work on it, they're trying to hold it off so much so they can really feel like their hands are getting ahead of it. We actually need to allow that club to release on through.

So if I'm hitting here, this is my 9 iron right now, so this is about, Just a fraction above middle of my stance as I approach the golf ball all this leg as my hands begin to approach the golf ball So right now it's about where my right knee is at About close to where the golf ball is as it's starting to approach.

You'll notice that my hand my left hand Is gonna start to square up. I mean, it's gonna kind of feel like it's bowing out club, you can see my club head is starting to square up to the golf ball right now. So as I was approaching the golf ball right now, my hands right above the ball, my left foot is starting to bow up.

So you can see I still have some lag, but now it's starting to release on through and on the handle of my club is actually moving in an upward direction. So I'm turning it up. So the feeling I have is actually in my, my two, my ring finger, my pinky finger. I'm really trying to feel like that's going to.

Gripping just a fraction tighter than it would be the rest of my fingers. That's going to kind of move that handle in an upward direction and also allow my left hand to kind of bow out my left wrist. So at an impact, I'm nice, have some good shaffling, my left wrist is slightly bowed, I have some extension in my right wrist, kind of pushing down into my left hand.

And now I'm at a really good impact position, allowed all that lag to release and I can go ahead and release the club. Like I normally do. So that's kind of releasing all that lag. It's really important. Don't hold on to the lag, allow it to release. So let me try to incorporate all of what I just said and see if I can pull one and stick one here close to the pin.

Well, I definitely hit a solid. Oh, plate is safe. Mill the green. All right, guys. So good luck working on that. Trying to hit your irons nice and pure every single time.
