controlling shape of shot with 5 iron

[bigboyrichbitch]

you have one huge flaw. your head dips. i assume that your mishits are fat, in particular your long irons. also i assume your mishits for your driver are heel/shaft heavy. you'll find that your left arm is slightly bent at impact as a compensation for being closer to the ground. long story short, you'll never be a scratch golfer. i know because i used to do the exact same thing. get a mate to hold a golf shaft against your forehead while you practice

[kickassproductions9]

@bigboyrichbitch This was 2 years ago. I just got a division 1 shcolarship. I am a scratch golfer. In fact I am a plus 3.

[bigboykulu]

when your trying the shots without the natural ball flight you seem to lose your balnce. just wondering why your faling off the ball, the ball striking could turn out a little wose when not fully commited or comfortable with the shot. good swing though

[gitfidil76]

Pretty damn nice. Your sway into the shot may give you the shanks once in a while though? It takes a lot of timing to pull that off. But you are dead center when you strike the ball so what every right? Love the high draw. Tough shot to control.

[kickassproductions9]

thanks man, yea my swing has changed a lot through the summer, im coming a lot steeper now

[golfprobman102492]

You seriously need to stop posting golf videos you are terrible and a disgrace to the game.

[kickassproductions9]

did i affend u sometime cause that was pretty harsh. And idk how a +1 handi is a disgrace but ok

[ontariochaserdotorg]

Pretty good swing. The only thing I would say is that you lost your balance on the last 2 swings.

[mckeever78]

Great striking, a stronger grip maybe? how far do you hit it?

[kickassproductions9]

thanks, i hit my 5 205, 4- 220, 3- 230, and my hybrid 245.. how bout u. haha and that doest mean i hit em straight.. i have a problem commiting to shots and i get sick of a ball flight after to long.. so i need to work on my mental game

[GorillaJesus69]

awesome

[avidgolfer08]

Also keep your head still.

[avidgolfer08]

I think you dont need to sway as much as you do. a more compact swing would suit your body type better

[69Playdough]

pretty good swing you got there, looks like tiger woods down swing, pretty good my man

[kylestevenson1417]

Fuck haters. Nice swing ;)

[kickassproductions9]

thanks man

[wandringhobo4321]

wat national tournies do u think u have won? ill bet there not even national

[earthshine2k]

Well, you asked, so here goes. To the top, you could use more shoulder turn to get behind the ball. Coming down, from the front view, it looks like you slide to your left rather than turn. that drive down into the ball w/ your left shoulder changes you level and makes the club a little steep. I'm thinking the longer clubs give you some problem. You, obvioulsy, know what you're trying to do w/ the club, but i'd summarize w/ the follwing:..........

[earthshine2k]

1) at address, you seem to be favoring your left side. distribut your weight a little more evenly, and tilt your spine just a little more away from the target (to the right)

2) to the top, turn your shoulders more. i like your width at the top, but just turn more and feel like you stay level.

3) back down, you drive your left shoulder down to the ball as a result of your steep / limited shoulder turn backswing. stay level, stay behind the ball and let er rip.

[kickassproductions9]

Thanks for the advice

[jusyoung92]

lol you seem like your hitting them crisp, but keep it modest, your not that good... check out my swing, im a 7 handicap

[kickassproductions9]

Thanks, I'm still not sure how i am being cocky?

[b7ptp7]

Cool video. I'd say you need to work on your balance.  You never see a decent player fall away after a shot. Look at Luke Donald. Having said that, if they all go where you intend them to go, then stick with it buddy.

[Samoanfox5000]

yuor totally humble and not cocky at alll

[kickassproductions9]

how am i cocky??

[MrPar24]

Atta way to slide your whole upper body into the ball.

[wandringhobo4321]

I just don't know how u can go 5 inches forward with a so called "angle" and try to justify that, I stay behind the ball and i deloft 9 degrees with a 5 iron

[kickassproductions9]

Ok your the best golfer in the world

[Fire0star]

you change your swing way too much just to hit a draw or fade. A draw or fade shot should be as simple as opening/ closing the stance, or changing your grip, and you will naturally hit a draw/ fade biased shot depending on which way you change it towards.

[kickassproductions9]

I do a simple move, bring the club at a steeper angle to hit a cut, and flatter for a draw. It looks like my swing changes alot but it is actaully what phil does to hit a draw. I 100% agree that closing your stance and the club face will hit a draw but i am uncomfortable doing that. however i feel the grip should always stay neutral, almost every pro would say the same, lot's of ways to do it, I have been pretty succseful this way. But i understand what you are saying

[kickassproductions9]

thank you, but i do hold the angle, right?

[wandringhobo4321]

u have a fake hold that relates to no power becuz real power is when ur head is behind the ball and ur hands are in front of the ball not wen ur head is like 5 inches forward ur leakin all ur power and that angle means less than nothing

[kickassproductions9]

ok thank you, i was not asking a kid in highschool, i was asking a previous d1 golfer. Why would I listen to you, I have won national tournies, so I am going to ask for advice from someone better than me that has played at the collegiant level. now Karlipbaum, am i holding the angle?

[wandringhobo4321]

i can own u no problem bro, i have been number 1 in the state of cali for my grad year and number 3 in the us for my grad year and im at a +2 handicap and ive played with DIv1 golfers u dumbass. Ive played tournaments with rickie fowler and I've also seen the top player from Standford play. I share the same coach with him.

[kickassproductions9]

do you just want everyone to know how great you are or do you actually care about my swing. I will conider your advice now with such an immpresive back round

[wandringhobo4321]

u replied back saying that u don't need to listen to a high schooler like me, but even if i was jus a kid who was like 10 but i have information that makes sense, why would u reject it? I dunno, but ur definitely trying to avoid ur mistake of going like a head forward, cuz that is a very big mistake, u can ask any1

[kickassproductions9]

becuase if you were a ten, you wouldn't know what the fuck you were talking about

[wandringhobo4321]

dont compare urself to tiger before u hit the ball, becuz tiger has about 7 degrees of deloft while u have like one or zero and yes u do flip ur right hand

[kickassproductions9]

maybe but at impact my hands are in front of the ball

[qbb01]

I"m no pro but i dont like that swing.

[kickassproductions9]

oh yeah, sry, if you look it says I was [layin a fade i tend to come over a little when i play one, look at the slow moe one in the begining and let me know what you think. And thanks for telling me all this stuff I am sharing it with my coach

[kickassproductions9]

Actaully if you compare my swing to tigers we have the exct same amount of lag

[kickassproductions9]

wowowow. I do not come over the top I am sorry, my club face is the same at the top as tiger's modern swing. And it is not one plane when you hinge the wrist up!!!

[wandringhobo4321]

wow dude this sucks alot... ur like 5 inches forward on ur downswing which is always a huge mistake no matter wat and the "angle being held" is like 89 degrees at impact u just flip into the ball and it looks like its being held cuz ur so foward on it, thats y u dig the ground

[kickassproductions9]

I dug in teh ground becuase the grass in my back yard is really tall and thick. and i don't flip
