Welcome to the Iron Consistency Program. An iron is typically hit with the ball sitting on the ground. This makes puts much more of a demand on the precision of your swing than with a driver. In this program, you will learn why fat and thin shots happen and how to practice a swing that grooves a swing that hits the ball solidly.
The Iron Consistency Program is broken into two week sections with each section having a common theme. The first stage covers the core science of hitting the ball solidly. Basically, the golf club is swinging around you, like a circle, and that circle is going to hit the ground if you want to hit the ball. The best iron players have the club hit the ground in front of the golf ball, while an inconsistent player will have the club hit the ground before it hits the golf ball. in the first section, you will explore the factors that control the lower point.
The second stage breaks the first key movement to controlling the low point (the arm movements) into detail so that you understand once and for all how your arms are causing you to hit fat and thin shots.
The third stage covers how the body helps control where and when the arms straighten. We call this interaction, "pivot control". It's important to recognize that their are only a couple places that things can go wrong with the pivot, so in this section you will learn how to control your pivot during the key times of the swing.
Hitting the ball fat and thin is frustrating, but it's not too complicated to change. It just takes repetitions with good feedback, and soon you'll be hitting the solid shots you've always wanted.
Have fun, and good luck!

Welcome to the Iron Consistency Program where we're going to help you learn how to hit those laser bullet like iron shots
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
that finish right next to the pin and set you up for an easy tap in birdie, right?
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Sounds too good to be true. Well, maybe we can't get a tap in birdie every time.
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:25,000
But if we can hit 13, 14, 15 greens per round, we're getting into the position where we can start making four or five birdies around,
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:36,000
which gives us a little bit of wiggle room. See, driving the ball is great, but more birdies are going to come from hitting iron's close or from making putts than they are from hitting the wall off the tee.
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So, if you had to pick one, we want to have a really good iron game.
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
In this program, we're going to cover the major pieces that create a good iron swing.
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:57,000
So, when you're hitting an iron, if you remember from the solid contact video, we want to make sure that we have shaft lean and that the bottom of the swing is ahead of the golf ball.
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
We're going to go over the two major parts of your body that control where the low point is in your swing.
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,000
It's not nearly as complicated as you think and training it has helped lots of golfers hit many more greens per round.
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:21,000
The second piece we're going to talk about is breaking down those two pieces. So, we've got one piece being where your upper body is located.
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
And I'll show you exactly which part of your upper body I mean and what it needs to do.
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:40,000
But what can happen is during the backswing or during transition, if you get that upper body out of position, then you basically have no opportunity and no chance to have the bottomless swing in front of the golf ball, which means you're going to struggle with content or contact.
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:54,000
And then the last piece is understanding the fine tuning of the release and how it works with transition in order to create this impact alignment that gives us the solid contact that we're looking for.
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Many golfers misunderstand what transition should be and how it relates to the release.
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:10,000
They always know what the hand should be doing at impact and what they should be doing it set up, but they get lost at what should be happening in this area.
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
And that's usually where iron contact falls apart.
