Now, if you're struggling with your irons, I have the perfect drill for you. It's gonna help you to get some lag in the downswing, shallow out that club, tuck the right elbow in and better than all, get some shackling so the hands are leaning in front when you hit the golf ball. You can get all that from this one drill.

So here's how we do it. Turn your club upside down like this. So the toe of the club would be sticking into the ground right behind the golf ball. Then you're gonna take your normal grip as you're doing this now from. I'm going to turn the club in the downswing so that the toe of the club would be hitting into the golf ball.

Now, that naturally gets me in a position where I shift my weight to the left and open my body. My shoulders have to be coming from the inside to get this club, this toe pointing down the target line. My right elbow definitely gets really, really tucked in and a lot of other benefits. So let's walk through exactly how to do this step by step and walk from the feet all the way up to the.

You talk about every piece that you need to feel in your body to get those really crisp, clean iron shots. This is an exciting video cuz it does so many things really well. So put the toe upside down just like I talked about. Just like if I was gonna chop a piece of wood with an ax here, then I'm gonna set up with my normal stance.

Now make sure when you do this, You put the club in your normal position. I don't want to cheat and take a weird grip or a different grip to make it easier. I want to take my normal standard grip. Now, from there, let's start from the feet. Well, in order to get this toe of the club, really the goal is to have the toe of the club pointing down the target line so that if I imagine this was a hammer, I would actually hit the ball.

Right toward the target. Or even better. I like to, because most players struggle hitting a draw, actually get that a little bit more out to the right. So I'd be going to the right of this stick. So I'll go ahead and hit one here. You're not really supposed to hit one doing this drill, but you'll get the idea of I'm hitting it over that way.

If that was a hammer, I'm just hammering it toward the right side of the screen. Now when I do that, If I'm gonna have any kind of success with this, I need to go ahead and get my weight shifting to the left in the downswing, and I'm gonna go ahead and open my hips. You see, if I keep my hips closed, just kind of feel like I'm hammering across my body.

There's not much power if I do this and get my hips to open, get my right heel off the ground. Get that right foot to kind of pivot out like that, that's gonna allow me to get those hips open and be in a powerful position. I feel like if I had a piece of wood down there, I could hammer the heck outta that thing.

Now your knees are gonna be a little bit flexed. I don't want you to stand up outta your posture and do this. We're gonna keep some flexing those knees as my hips rotate open. Now, if I move up from there, what are my shoulders doing now? A big mistake is to just go ahead. Twist the hands to get that toe lined up with the golf ball, but my shoulders are straight up and down.

What would be easier than that is to get my shoulders kind of turned this way more from the inside and behind the golf ball, to where now I can get in here where I'm in a powerful position. See, I don't feel super powerful like this, but if I turn my shoulders behind it, I'm gonna be coming from the inside.

I'm gonna feel really powerful. That's what I call the stable fluid spine in the top speed golf system where you get a little tilt, or if you take your. Your both your hands by your side, you drop your right fingertips towards your right knee, your left fingertips come up towards your pant pocket, and that's gonna be that same thing.

So that's the same position that I'm putting you in here when you get this hammer action and you're behind the golf ball again, really, really powerful. Now, if I go up to the arms, what the arms are doing, look at my left elbow. This is a really important one. You don't ever wanna get your elbow in like this.

Cause some pain, some, some, you know, jarring in your elbows. I don't want my elbow pit facing this way. I want my elbow facing toward the target. I want my elbow pit facing away from the target. So now here I'm in a position to where that left arm is across my chest. I should feel like there's some pinching between my left bicep and my left peck.

So my arm is across my chest and that's because my body is turning into my left arm. And that's exactly perfect. Like. now the right arm. This is a great one. If I was gonna take again that hammer, that ax, and I'm gonna chop the back of this, imagine there's a a, a round log on the ground. This is the head of the ax, and I'm gonna hit that thing.

That arm would naturally come in like this. Notice how my right elbow is still bent at impact. It's actually touching my hip as I'm doing that, and my palm would be a little bit more up toward the sky for this particular drill. That's gonna be exactly perfect. Now, once I feel that, 10, 15 swings. You really get used to that motion.

You just go ahead and take your normal grip and try to recreate the same thing. And if I do this correctly, that ball is definitely gonna start a little bit to the right and then it's gonna draw back really nicely. So let's go ahead and give it a whirl. I feel like I'm gonna hit this thing hard, I'm not gonna lie.

That felt amazing. It felt like super, super solid. Like, like the club was in a position. To where my hands were in very much in front. It was gonna be a really clean, solid, like deep type type of contact. It almost feels like the ball is just sinking into the face when you're doing this drill. This is one, honestly, I've done different variations of this over the years.

Every time I do it, I hit it fantastic, and then over time I forget about it. And then when I remember the drill and I do it myself again, then it's not that I forgot about the drill, but I, I, I quit working. Whenever I do go back to working on it again, it feels amazing again. I need you to just go out every single day and do this same drill cause it gives me fantastic results.

So, nice tight draw there. 201 yards with a six iron, 99 miles an hour club at speed. All those numbers are fantastic. Now you see this drill isn't exactly right for the wrist angles. There's one more piece that we have to know here to get this to be correct. So when I take my, my ax grip here and I get into this great position with my body, hips, body, shoulders, arms, everything is f.

It, you'll see that my right palm is very much out toward you, and the logo of my glove is towards you too. Now if I take any, uh, as semblance of a normal type grip, And I get back into the exact same position, you're gonna notice how that club face is really open. So when my palm is out toward the towards you, my logo of my glove is towards you.

That club face is wide open like that. Now, in reality, I'm gonna use the wrist differently to square that club face, and that's the only difference between this drill and a fantastic golf swing. That's actually exactly what I teach in the move section. The move section is two things. It's getting the club shallowed out from the inside.

which is going to get the shoulders in the position we talked about, get the elbow tucked in. All those things that we talked about in this video is just to get your body in a position where you shallow this club out from the inside. You see if I do that ax drill, I'm gonna naturally start to get that club coming from the inside.

That's the point of the ax drill. That's half of it. The second half is learning how to use your wrist properly to square up that face. I don't want you to get it in the slot and then hit it a mile to the right, so it's the wrist. It's those two pieces together, shallowing the club and using the wrist properly that allow you to hit a draw every single time and be really, really consistent.

Now, if you get started on this today, you got half of it down, you got the body positions down, but we still need to learn those wrist actions. That's what I'm gonna teach you in the move section. So once you finish this video, head on over and just watch one video from the move section and commit to doing that video in your next rain.

As you start to build these concepts together, it makes it automatic to where you just grab a club, you naturally swing it the right way, you're coming from the inside, you're shallowing the club, you're squaring up the face the way that you're supposed to, and it feels completely natural. So just a handful of videos over there.

Commit to doing one right now. Go to the instruction tab, top speed golf system. Go to the move, do one video. From there, you're gonna be well on your way, and I'm gonna teach you the right way to use the wrist over there. So best of luck. Can't wait to see you there. Next, let's go and get started.
