I just watched this 6 minute video after hitting too many fat iron shots on my simulator. I practiced Adam's drill for 5 minutes and theN quickly did the drill ahead of each shot. I hit 20 balls and did not have a single fat shot. My distance on my 8 iron which has always been about 135 avgerage increased to 145 for the post video 20 shots. I am going to keep this drill in my regular practice. It really worked for me.
Thanks for the comment DC.
All the best, Adam
Thank you Adam. Just when I'm starting to feel like my game is hopeless, you make it seem possible with simple advice. Love the videos, please keep them coming.
Thanks very much Michael.
Best, Adam
Love the video....always enjoy getting techniques...but our swings change from round to round....that's why we are average golfers but we are always looking to be more consistent and improve and this video is great on helping up. Awesome job.
As a beginner (mature) golfer I find your videos very useful. Keep going!
Thanks Stephen, glad they are helpful to you.
Best, Adam
The "narrow downswing" works like a MIRACLE !! I always stretched my arm on the backswing and kept it wide and somewhat laid back on the downswing - and struggled hitting ball-first with longer clubs. This one tip changed everything for me - - literally instantly! Easy to implement and incredible results. I have watched many videos but don't recall ever hearing "narrower down". I see that the video is 7 years old. Wish I had seen it then!
Glad you made good progress Joe!
Great drill Adam I look forward to using it more in my practices. Thank you for all the great content!!
Thanks for your interest!
Best, Adam
Plenty of time during lockdown to watch some of these vids as I had been hitting irons and fairway woods fat from time to time pre lockdown (I'm a 12 handicapper who has been lower).
Great advice from this clip - have been out twice since course opened and back to striking as I wish with increased distance - many thanks!!
Thanks Philip.
All the best, Adam
Adam, Just found your videos yesterday, they are all excellent, best on the web. Used this videos instruction to finally hit my irons with a divot after the ball and didn't duff one playing nine today. Thank you!
Thanks Mike, glad you made some progress.
Best, Adam
One of the best tips ever!! I went and tried it and it did wonders to my games. Thank you sir!
Glad to hear it!!
Best, Adam
This video described the exact issue I was having. I was bottoming out almost 4-5 inches behind the ball at times, but can now strike the ball much more effectively.
Thanks for posting this.
Dane,
Thanks for the message. Glad you are seeing progress.
Best, Adam
This drill helped more than I could express. My personal experience is that the stick parallel to the shaft gives a 3D visual reference, as opposed to a 2D reference that one might get by laying the stick on the ground to mark the center of the stance. It really helped my brain to map the correct movement. Years of spotty contact, then this concept flipped the switch for me. And now I feel I can get a crisp strike with any club from any lie. Combined with a good sequence and proper leverage, it feels like cheating. Thanks, Adam!
Thanks Jeff, glad you made good progress
Used this drill, my ball striking much improved. Thank you for your hard work.
Grant,
Glad to hear it.
All the best, Adam
Total lifesaver. I've released the club too soon for years, and dug many ditches as a result. This will take some time to adopt, but I have no doubt that it will keep me from littering the course with sod ;)
Glad you found the video helpful!
All the best, Adam
Great stuff!! I have a tendency to get steep so I will find this drill very helpful. Thanks a bunch for the great videos 👍
Glad they are helpful to you!
Best, Adam

All the best, Adam
This one video is what all beginners need to look at. Took me years to figure this out and yet I lose it from time to time. This video really simplifies the way to hit pure shots. The way the pros cover the ball is a challenge to accept and build into the swing for me. Thank you. Side note: the grounds keepers will love you for this.😀
Thanks, glad you liked the video
Great video content as normal sir,Would love to have a lesson with you if ever in your town used a few of your videos and would like to say thank you great help, Cheers lee.
Thanks Lee. If you get to Naples I hope we can get together.
Best, Adam
nice video. I will practice this technique. Thank you.
I hope it goes well for you Jamie.
best, Adam
Best video on youtube to cure fat shots, thank you very much. Greetings from France, thanks again !
Thanks, and glad you liked the video.
Best, Adam
Low point : just inside lead shoulder. On plane motion reduces chance of fat shot. Never throw the club from the wrist. Sustain lag pressure all the way through the line of sight. The narrowness is a function of sustained lag pressure. Full hip turn allows for enough trail arm to avoid throwing and hence keeps the lead wrist slightly arched through impact. Once again your videos are excellent and truly helpful to golfdom. Cheers F
Fred,
Thanks for the positive comment.
All the best, Adam
That was a revelation for me! My hands are at center sternum at impact. My miss understanding…I thought my hands needed to return to starting position at impact!!
Glad you found the video helpful Drew.
The best video I’ve seen on this particular subject
Thanks very much
Great tip thanks
thanks Duke.
Best, Adam
These are great videos for the beginner golfers. Thank you for those meticulous insides of each drill. Just a question. What is the most effective way to control mi driver. How to have an accurate aim, or direction. What part of the golf to use to hit it with, left, center, or right side of the golf head. Thank you so much for your videos.
Sergio,
Thanks, glad you like the videos. Controlling the driver isn’t easy, certainly I wish I was better in that department. It’s an unforgiving club, but I’d say that generally sound technical habits, and plenty of practice are the keys.
A very boring and obvious answer, but true none the less.
All the best, Adam
Love drills that I can do at home.
Thanks Kevin.
Best, Adam
As always, good solid advice and done with a minimum of talking. Too many instructors get you going in too many directions. I agree with Adams philosophy of keeping the thoughts and motions minimal. Perfect!
Thanks very much Gregg.
All the best, Adam
was down at the range yesterday and today, started fatting those balls, I'll try this drill later on this week, refering to getting out of the bunker with the weaker grip (another video) well, that worked out well yesterday, unfortunately not so high, but no thin shots out of the bunker :-)
Keep at it!
Love your tips and drills Adam. Drill with alignment stick worked immediately. Unfortunately you won't get any business from me; I'm an ex scratch golfer, 66 yo and with arthritis but it amazes me how my chipping and pitching changes from night to night. The alignment stick showed me why. All the best Adam and enjoy the sun.
Thanks Archie, glad you liked the video.
Best, Adam
Very insightful
Thanks very much.
All the best, Adam
Extremely helpful video. Actions and words don’t always match. Club at bottom of swing Sergio and you shoulder going up, which of course was not mentioned. Average golfers will work hard to hit that impact position and not have the same swing path: shoulder still working down!
Thanks for watching the video, glad you liked it.
Best, Adam
Great instruction
Thanks very much Bryan.
Best, Adam
Yeah very good. I like that you don't just say move your weight forward. Very good tips.
A request - could you do a whats in the bag? Would love to see what you use. Those irons look like they've got a pretty sweet wear pattern.
Glad you found the video helpful. They are Callaway irons, mid game improvement models from a couple of years ago. I like to practice with my 8 iron, so it gets a little worn, and with all the humidity in south Florida they get that look (I like it too).
Best, Adam
Great video thanks. Any thoughts on how to fix a better player who's too inside to out hitting behind the ball?
Thanks. I have a video at this channel on hitting fades, hope you’ll find that helpful
Best, Adam
Got to say Sergio Garcia has nice easy moment. Doesn't look stiff anywhere. Really nice video guide on that one. Is there a way of hitting forward of the ball, but not putting holes in the green. I am worried that when I get to the golf course I will be digging up the green, and that is something I want to avoid.
David,
Thanks. Assuming a good forward hit divot size will vary according to turf conditions, but there is no way to avoid it.
All the best, Adam
hoping to try,im really struggling with fat shots...will update soon
Best of luck Dean
This video really improved my irons shots. Thank you very much for your explanations. All of them are very clear and helpful.
Thanks Diego, and glad you made progress.
Best, Adam
what adjustments would I make for avoiding fat shots with less lofted irons
The same principles apply really. Often we try to 'help' get the ball in the air with less lofted clubs. Try to hit some lower more driving shots (without moving ball position back) and see if that helps.
All the best, Adam
gr8 vid
Thanks very much Tommy!
Best, Adam
Adam, at impact, should there be a slight backward side bend, even though Tommy Fleetwood has a massive side bend at impact? Thanks
Robert,
It depends on the players overall swing style, as well as the club they are hitting. All great players would have more tilt away from target with a driver than they would with a 9 iron. Typically upright swingers (Couples, for example) have more tilt in order to shallow out the hot.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
and Sergio manages to do that with the ball slightly back in the Stance
Is it hips forward then rotate about the lead hip? I get confused what is supposed to move when - makes me think too much.
There is no one way, but generally the hips would move towards the target first. There would be some hip rotation as this happened, but mostly after lead hip is over lead foot
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
Not to discredit anything in this video, it's all 100% point on accurate, but for me personally if I keep my weight on my toes and lean forward and into it I get fat, if I lean back with weight on heels I hit it fine, it's kind of weird how far I can lean back and still make great contact, If your constantly leaning forward, you have to apex past the ball, you have to, if you lean back it's not so critical, hope this helps someone
Fair enough
where is this place? looks amazing
Thanks Alex. It's the Club at Mediterra, in Naples, Florida.
Best, Adam
Is it a good idea to be a great golf player
Sergio doesn't look like he is tilting to the rear - i guess the camera angle? How much close to the ground does he actually get to hit the ball since the lagging so much?
Not sure what the numbers are, but clearly he finds a great balance of lag and the body motion to go with it.
Thanks for watching the video.
Best, Adam
what if you keep hitting the alignment stick with your hands on downswing? how do you correct that? thanks
Brian,
There is a certain amount of feel in golf, you just have to forget solid contact and adjust
Best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy okay… no clue what you mean but thank you
Huge deep heavy divots! That's me!
Hang in there
I,am left handed how do you hit a fade.left to right flight
Kathy, try this video, I hope it's helpful czcams.com/video/Sp9Y0OuRQbI/video.html
Best, Adam
Fat shot creeps into my game maybe once per round, so 1/75 chance of hitting it fat. (And when I do the ball still gets out there a ways) I always think about keeping my weight over the ball. Is that not the right mindset? Cause when I hit it fat, I feel like I left weight on my back leg…
Sounds like you're on the right track to me.
best, Adam
Where are your hands and shaft in the initial set up???
Michael,
I don't think the positioning on hands/shaft at address is definitive, but I try for the most natural hang I can. Hands about in front of belt buckle.
Best, Adam
let me ask you, I've been golfing for 30 years, been ok with my irons, my driver saves me a lot tho, yardage wise. I watch the pros hit there irons, so my question is, does the right elbow stay tucked in to your hip on the down swing?
oh and I have always hit my irons really high, I think its because of the way I break my wrists.
Stephen,
I did a video recently (CZcams) on the tight arm in the downswing, I hope you'll find it helpful.
Best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy do you happen to have a link?
never mind I found it, thanks
Everyone look at his iron at about 1:04, look at the sweet spot wear.
Thanks Will. That was an old set of Callaway irons I had. I like to practice with an 8 iron, so it had a lot of wear and tear on it.
All the best, Adam
i prefer my wear marks at top, bottom, sides, etc
Killing my driver but my irons suck low ball flight and fat and thin painful shots.any suggestions.
Lawrence,
Can't really say without seeing your swing. Maybe move the ball back in your stance?
Best, Adam
can you make a video on how to stop falling backwards on my shot
I will try to get to it, but in the mean time I touch on it in this video czcams.com/video/EYRSlgmi7Dw/video.html
Hope it's helpful. Best, Adam

Hit it like the the best players in the world? Why didn’t I think of that?!? Could’ve been making millions all this time!!
I hear you Eric.
Thanks for watching the video.
All the best, Adam
Folle sonders
Interesting. The ball is clearly a few inches behind center.
In the video of Sergio the camera angle is off a bit, I believe the ball position is about middle. Thanks for watching the video.
Best, Adam
My problem is hanging back on my right foot.
Keep plugging. I have numerous videos on the downswing that involve weight shift, I hope you'll find them helpful.
Best, Adam
unfortunately, the captions are exactly where the golf ball is on my shots -- so we can't see the spot that is the most important place to see
Sorry, sometimes that happens.
Best, Adam
Yea fat shots slip in everyone's game thanks
Thanks for your interest.
Best, Adam
I wish I didn't have a job to get in the way of playing and practicing these tips. Thank Adam!
