HOW TO LOWER BALL FLIGHT // Increasing iron distance with better technique

As a follow up to his 2022 iron fitting, Ian helps Ryan work on improving his swing dynamics to better control the height of his ball flight.

By using a series of simple drills Ian helps Ryan gain control of his dynamic loft to add more ball speed, create lower spin and help him control trajectory with his irons.

This exact drill is what I have been working on lately. It has helped my ball striking tremendously. I have even begun to control draw and fade more actively with the flight as well.

Maybe, after a few more range sessions, I'll feel confident enough to setup those low draws or low fade shots around obstacles.

Damn, they got the Supreme launch monitor 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for helping me see what I was doing wrong. Can't wait to take this information out into the range. Much appreciated gentleman. I'm loving the new content.

This is exactly what I am fighting at the minute, lovely when it works but prone to hitting it fat which when the course is as wet as it is in the UK at the minute. The big problem is off a mat you have a safety blanket.

Ian, you are a god send! I've been hitting balloons for years without knowing why I produce too much dynamic loft! Finally I can match my driver bombs with some really solid mid irons and get scoring on the par 5s! Two thumbs up

Ian your knowledge of the swing rivals your knowledge of clubs! Love these instructionals!!

This swing is so me same numbers too. I've been working on turning more central then start the down swing with a little knee pump, it's moved my low point much more forward and I've now gone from 150 with my 7iron to 165. Great video so many people could learn from this.

Thank you! My swing speed numbers and ball speed/carry numbers have never matched up due to excessive height. It's so good to see and hear a solution that isn't all about moving the ball back in the stance.

the supreme sticker on the quad is hilarious😂

Great to have our Canadian friends joining us for the Florida swing! Even better to see how to go from the fitting to the course and see the reality of the work it takes to get the swing right after getting the sticks properly set up.

Great, great timing with this video. I just went to my first TXG fitting with Dean and I had this same problem -- too much loft at impact causing too much height and not enough ball speed (I also added a good, consistent straight pull:)). I've always had an issue with trying to get forward shaft lean at impact and getting to my lead side, and I think this is a great video for that drill. Cheers guys.

Liked the shank explanation and how to avoid. Definitely a factor when training to get the launch angle down

[Rayceemon]

So many golfers can benefit from the gems Ian has been sharing 
in these latest vids. RB's swing is very relateable, too.  
Can't wait for the snows to melt so I can knock off the rust, and 
try some of these ideas out myself. Well done guys.

[PMMeiners]

I’ve been working on the same with the same practice idea with my coach the last couple of weeks. I see a huge change in ball flight, strike and distance. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[THECATWHISPERER]

Exactly what I've been working on. Thanks guys

[djparra]

Great job RB! See man like I said just a couple of tidbits really does make a drastic change. Even though it feels awkward at first after a couple weeks of annoying the shit out of your wife with practicing your new positions in grocery stores and around the house, you can start to ramp up to your normal 90 to 92 club head and you’ll really start to see your irons stretch their legs.

Ryan and I have the same iron swing and I hit the occasional hosel. Thanks for doing this video. To summarize, I need to work on bowing my left wrist, moving my weight to my left leg, make sure I keep turning and get the club working left around the corner?

[Kenny_Mars]

Excellent instructions and a nice explanation to hit that low penetrating ball flight.

[golfsd]

On the right path Ryan...keep at it bud. Great stuff Ian...cheers!

[Jeppsk]

This is gold!! Thank you so much for this video!
