Collin Morikawa's Iron Striking Clinic | TaylorMade Golf

It's time to earn your wings. This is Collin Morikawa's Flight School. Watch and learn how two-time major champion and member of Team TaylorMade Collin Morikawa works his golf ball into the greens with his P·7MC irons and TP5 golf ball from TaylorMade Golf.

Working alongside @trottiegolf, Collin pulls off several maneuvers, showing you how to hit some shots off downhill lies, flat lies and slightly uphill working with the wind along the way.

Such a genuine guy you can tell he's not putting on an act and a great golfer.

More stuff like this! Anytime you can get any of these heavy hitters to tell you what makes them lean towards a particular shot and why or why not you know you've struck gold. The inconsistent wedge flight bit too was so keen. Loved it

Collin is my new favorite. Such a genuine guy; great player, very humble.

I’m 15 years old and play off 21. The best iron shot i ever hit was an 8 iron over a copse of trees and onto the green within 3 foot of the pin. Just bought the Taylor Made deluxe cart bag and winning the irons would be a great addition to my new amazing bag!

"Try and hit a straight shot, and hope it goes there", the truest thing ever said about a golf shot ever lol

Trottie is becoming a true sensation. Well done to the TaylorMade team all around and thank you for bringing us this great content.

Best iron hit: using a 7iron for a bump run into the green to make a birdie. Ran around the green: jumping and shouting. The Marshall came by and ask me to calm down, but congratulated me on the shot. Very memorable day! Keep up the videos!

[jothkell]

so good. i feel like ive heard everything there is to be said about golf, but in these player interviews i always find a few new ones.

I love watching Collin swing and describe what he is doing. My best iron shot ever was a knockdown 6 iron, 155 yards against a strong wind. Hole in One!!

Love listening to Collin walk through his thought process in these situations. My favorite iron shot ever was in a round with my brother-in-law’s groomsmen the day before the wedding. Was fairly new to golf and the worst one there. On a par 3, about 160 going uphill, couldn’t even see the green. I pured a 6 or 7, but couldn’t actually see the ball once it landed. Got up to the green and was about 5 feet from the hole. It was closest to the pin for the entire group. Still ended up with a par though lol

First off that jacket is so cool. This video was super fun to watch and helped give insight into different ways to hit different shots. Reminds me of this flighted draw 9i I hit from 152 at a local golf course, I pushed it a tad right off where I wanted but the green sloped heavily from right to left and it rolled 35 feet down the hill and went in for my longest hole out eagle yet. Great video.

Love how Collin trusts his equipment and the sound from those pure iron shots are just candy to my ears. Best iron shot so far etched on my mind is once when i hit a 4iron p790 and pured it . Lovely flight and landed where i wanted and now its my fav swing thought before every iron shot. @magicnicxxl

Just hit my best iron shot this weekend at my home course. I played a mediocre round and went over to the range to figure out what I was doing wrong. I adjusted my lead wrist to get the club face more square at impact and instantly compressed the ball and heard that "thud" sound I've been trying to achieve since I started playing two years ago. Been flushing everything since!

Best iron strike I had was a 9iron into a green on a par 5. Beautiful draw into the right side middle of the green with a back center hole location. Landed about 4 ft from the hole and holed out for an albatross. Best memory in golf today. Better than a hole in one.

[EthanJimenezGolf]

Best iron shot I’ve ever hit was with my 5 iron from 200 out. I had a tempo swing thought to slow down my backswing. The shot was blind over some hills and ended up being just enough to end up pin high. Loved the video and the content!

[edwinedisanto]

Best iron i’ve hit. 3rd shot after taking my penalty, 180 yards, uphill, used my 6 iron and it landed and stop right next to the pin 4 foot away. Best iron shot ever and best par save for me!

[rileyanderson]

Best iron shot I've ever hit goes back quite a ways. I was 13 or 14 and playing a round with my Grandfather who taught me how to play the game. We were on the back 9 of his local course and I was lying 2, slightly downhill, with about 120 to go on a par 4. I pulled out the tried and true 7 iron, listened to a little advice, and gave it a swing. Hit it clean as could be and felt like I was watching in slow motion as the ball launched, landed about 20 feet from the pin and started rolling, with a slight break to the right, before it dropped straight in the hole. First birdie I had ever made. Couldn't believe it and of course my Grandpa was just as happy as I was. One of my favorite golf memories. To top it off, my Grandpa was on the green with about a 30 ft putt for birdie, he stepped right up and drained it. My best iron shot, back to back birdies, and a feeling to chase for life. - @rilo_james

Love Collin; such a great ball striker. My best iron shot: I started playing golf a few months ago after graduating college, using my late grandad's clubs (burner plus irons) finding something to occupy my free time outside of my new adult life. It has become an obsession. My girlfriends dad took us to a golf club for us to play a full 18 for the first time earlier this summer and it was quite challenging, to say the least. I had some decent shots and mostly bad shots the entire time, and her dad having decades of golf experience on me made it a lot more embarrassing than if I were with anyone else. On the par 5 18th hole I hit one of my tour response balls ob and had to take a drop where it was a downhill shot playing around 135yd. With water to the left, I pulled out my 9 iron TaylorMade burner plus (the only club in my bag I was comfortable with at the time) Took one practice swing, and lined up the shot. It felt like I thinned it, my heart sank in that little moment before you look up at the ball after you follow through. The ball flight was amazingly straight, and landed and rolled up to about 2ft from the hole. We were all just amazed, they clapped for me, and it was the best feeling I've ever had playing golf. Even though I shot +100 that day, that iron shot was the reason I left that course feeling like I broke 90 (my new goal now) and hoping I can go back with the skills I've grown and practice I've put in since then. Thank you TaylorMade! Instagram @victonio14

Best iron shot I’ve hit: a slightly uphill par 3, wind in the face and green breaking left to right. Wasn’t my best ball striking day so I clubbed up to a 9. Hit a nice high little baby draw right at the stick, flew about a foot and a half past, one hop and spun back right into the cup. My first and only ace to date!
