  • REALLY IMPORTANT IRON LESSON....DON'T OVERLOOK! Simple Golf Tips
    Getting the golf ball in the right position WITH DIFFERENT IRONS in your setup might seem like a simple thing, but it’s something many golfers struggle with and get in to bad habits with. In this golf lesson Matt Fryer Golf takes you through the ball positions with a long, mid and short iron needed to hit better iron shots. By following the guide in this golf lesson you will be able to get the perfect ball position for each iron and see that you are getting the desired ball flight!.
    If you watch all the professional golfers, from the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and dating back to the Likes of Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, they are all very precise about where they put the ball in their stance and when making a standard golf the ball position with the relevant golf club is the same.
    Get the perfect ball position with the lesson and play better golf.

    2 years ago I was a 25 handicap. I’m 22 yrs old and After some serious time at the range, a lot of lost golf balls, lots of CZcams I can definitely say that paying for lessons was the best decision I ever made. During my 2 year journey I made more progress in the past 4 months after getting lessons. I’m now a 9.5 handicap and looking at getting a full set of fitted clubs to fit my new and improved swing. Stop watching these CZcams videos, they’re great for short term fix but honestly just pay the money to get lessons. Changed my golf game forever. I shot 72 for the first time last week. I only just started playing the tips this year. For learning I recommend using the men’s tees and your short game + putting. I can confidently 2 putt pretty much any green I get on within 45ft.

    To all the people struggling to break 100 or 90 (seen a fair few comments) I would recommend short game and putting practice over everything! You will shave some serious shots if you can constantly two putt and have confidence around the greens chipping

    • @chrisgast
      @chrisgast Před 5 měsíci

      my issue is not knowing my distances with each club, more specifically the irons. once it gets warm again, I'll find out. last month, I was able to sneak in a round of golf before they closed for the season and I was able to hit off the tee rather consistently on to the fairway. I can usually 2 putt on the green. but yeah. my irons and wedges I need to work on.

  • @StephenParsey
    @StephenParsey Před 2 lety +1

    Solid tips about how to have a consistent
    address setup and ball position!
    You mention taking a wider stance and swinging slightly faster as you go up through the longer irons. I understand where you’re going with that but for me (and I’d guess for many others out there), I have a hard time mentally resisting the urge to swing faster bc I tend to wind up more and it throws off my rhythm and timing. I feel like it might be better to reinforce that a wider stance is a way to naturally ALLOW the slightly longer shafts to help you add 2-3mph, rather than thinking “I must swing faster” with each club. Great food for thought and I can’t wait to experiment with this on the range!

    I like your video visual labels. I took a photo on my phone for reference. I am new to golfing and I was having problems picking my clubs. I have no issues with the driver....but the clubs were confusing to me and I was avoiding them at all costs. I certainly have a better understanding now after watching your clip. I also liked that your explanation was clear, especially on club placement on the body and on the grass. Thanks so much. Watching from Nova Scotia, Canada.

    Hello from down under Matt, this was not only an “important lesson”, you’ve given us probably the best and most useful golf lesson ever on CZcams. 👍. I kinda understood the need to adjust ball position but as a newbie golfer it ever dawned on me that swing speed needs to be adjusted. Now you’ve shown us it makes sense. Look forward to future lessons. Stay safe all. Cheers

    This was a brilliant one, Matt. Thank you Matt. I have just taken the game up again this year after a long layoff. I haven't been able to gap test because there wasn't much difference between my 5 and 9 irons. Not the 10 yards between clubs that it should be. I was hitting all of my irons from center. I will try this thank you.

  • @corycare5241
    @corycare5241 Před 2 lety +1

    Nice, simplified explanation of ball position. You're right, based on our individual swings the ball position can be different from player to player. I've been experimenting with my 7 iron, from total center to just a bit to the left. What is comical in golf is how our swing and contact change from day to day. The question is always, "Who is showing up today? Fred Couples or Fred Flintstone" :) Thanks Matt!

  • @starlight987
    @starlight987 Před 2 lety +1

    I'll be going to the range tonight to practice this.
    I have been taking the same stance for 5 iron through to SW and as you could guess it ain't working! I really struggle with 5 and 6 iron but gets easier the more loft on the club.
    Changing my address position could be the key, cheers Matt!

    @melnycmnscanada4608 Před rokem

    You have explained the set up fm short to long irons the best I’ve seen to date thx. I tried it today and I’d say I flushed 90% of them. Terrific. How I made the small 1/2 to 1” increments was to hold my club in the middle of my stance. The btm of the hossel should then b about the centre of my body. So then, keeping the btm of the hossel in the middle and hovering over the ball, I put it mid ball for short irons; near back of ball for mid irons; and just behind the ball for long irons. Thx so much Matt. Mike.

    Nice lesson! I was struggling, even with my new fitted irons, then my husband was looking on the driving range, and told me, my club was bottoming out on a different position (more forward) than my ball position was good for. So, after some experimenting, I found the best positions, and the irons do work nicely. The part in the video on experimenting on not just follow text beek hints is a really good point! :-)

    Hi Matt, thanks for this video - I often hit my 3 and 4 irons (Mizuno MP-57s) on the toe, although they manage to still go straight, but at only about 70% of the distance and clearly not flush. I know you can really diagnose the reason for this, but could you please provide some tips for a potential solution to this problem - am I perhaps standing too far back? Many thanks from your friend in South Africa :)

    Never really thought about my swing speed on different length irons, really makes sense just kind of automatically do it but now it's something to remind myself, I don't need to try and crush a 9 iron just need to relax and swing it.

    • @thomastrain7311
      @thomastrain7311 Před 2 lety

      something that has been good for me is to find a spot on the back of the ball to look at but being mindful to hit the turf just in front of the ball. it's helped me make much better contact resulting in way less mis hits and stray shots.
