Martin, I have in the last week been trying to implement your teachings. I have been a decent golf over the years but think I've been a flipper most of the time, especially with my short irons. I've strengthened my grip so as to grip it in an impact position which is really taking some getting used to. What I'm really struggling with is keeping my balance and getting the club to bottom out in the quadrant you say it should. Any suggestions to help with this.

@specenka Begin with the end in mind; commit to finishing in balance and don't sacrifice balance for anything else. Let your swing touch the ground in the correct quadrant while you athletically get to a balanced finish position. Once you can do that, you can heat things up and add some speed.

Tip: don't hit actually balls in the quadrant drill with alignment sticks or else you'll wind up with a broken alignment stick and invisible fiberglass splinters in your thumb. Ouch

@TheGolfdu In the moment of filming the video, I should have put a groove on the ground, rather than cross-hairs. Hope the thumb is okay!

why do ppl keep calling you Chuck if that's not your name?

[cmartingolf]

@juicyfruitzy It is my last name. Two first name...very confusing!

For iron shots use what the golfing machine calls 'the aiming point concept". Place a tee in the ground 4 inches in front of the ball (make sure tee is fully pushed into the ground so that the top of the tee is barely above ground level).Now forget about the ball and concentrate strictly on the tee. The goal now is to RAM that tee into the ground.Feel like you are trying to drive it through the earth to China.Make sure your hands are ALWAYS ahead of the clubhead until AFTER impact with the tee

Hi Martin.

I tried this in my back garden and found it very difficult not to hit the dowel. I'll keep on practising cos it looks so right. Thanks for the video.
