*Get your short irons dialled in! These are the scoring clubs which lower our handicaps 🙌🏼*

Scoring irons are key to a good round. Great video.
Thanks for covering my question much appreciated. Will be heading to the thick rough this week to practice. Not that I want to end up in there, but be prepared!

[billwallenstein]

Great lesson. Alex I play on Bermuda, so in the thick rough I club up. Cheers

Fantastic video oce again I'm quite new to golf and am struggling to putt finding it hard to read the greens I'm losing shots on the green sometimes it's a 4 put any help would be good so I can get under 100 currently 105 110 a round

[charlesbenjamin]

Thanks for this! Gotta keep reminding myself to stop going all out with irons.

[alanjohnnicholson]

Another great video, I'm trying to get to driving twice a week.and try some tips you have given via your videos

[johnmillice]

RH 0 blade golfer- would love to know how you fade with your irons. I like to work the ball both ways. What is your thoughts?

[FW-odlt]

Alex great video! I have somehow gotten my clubs way past parallel in the last year or so. Very frustrating. I have gone from a single digit to about 16. I am walking up to the greens now with 3 clubs so often. My putter and usually 2 wedges. Would love your advice on how to stop going past parallel. Any drills would be welcome.

That’s it! ☝🏻
I’m one of the 99%
I was thinking about what questions I have (that you asked your “viewers” in the intro)
THIS is it!
My IRONS! 🏌️‍♂️
Weakest clubs in my bag. 😞

I was just thinking I rarely feel that shot “down in my loins” (as Roy McAvoy says in “Tip Cup”)
I used to, but I rarely PURE it, like I have, but rarely do anymore.

That first swing (lots of effort, trying to “bash” it and “muscle it” out there, falling back) is so me. 🙄
I’m going to try this, try to hit a “scoring” shot, hit a “control shot”, and swing shoulder-to-shoulder with my irons.
I need to hit more greens!

Great video; one of your best!
👍🏻

Hi Alex, Rob Blakemore new subscriber. Great tips with scoring irons. I took the tips onto the course and knocked four shots off my round. Cheers mate.

[gguygolf]

I was wondering if you had any home drills that you can do without a club, that would help build muscle memory for weight shift and swing rotation. Loving the videos.

[mixsker]

I’ve seen several tips for general sloped lies, but any tips on extremely sloped lies? There is a fairway at my home course with major tilt and always struggle on those shots. The amount of tilt is where ball is around knee to mid thigh height.

[tomjames]

Thanks for that I have a tendency to swing to hard and like you said I lose control and pull hook .Its a pain in the butt I have previously hit a200 yard drive only to pull hook the next shot .Kind of makes me want to take up checkers. Its 30 degrees here in Atlanta Georgia how about you.Thanks again.

Hi,
I love your content. I am roughly a 17-22 handicap and I am having trouble hitting my longer irons (4&5). I find that I am much more comfortable with my shorter irons (9-6) because, for some reason, I feel more comfortable at the setup. Oh, a little unknown fact: I had two left side hip replacements within 12 years, 50 years old. Thanks a lot and I’ll keep watching.

Good point Alex. I think 💭 a lot of people need to play the longer clubs in the same more controlled way.

[timneese]

Alright I have a really good short game, I don’t find myself in the bunker that often. Now, i typically play for release from the bunker but looking for a bit more bite. Any help from grips to swing speed would be great!! Thanks alex

[brianmcpeake]

Thanks Alex. I struggle hitting irons (tee shots) on par 3's. My miss is always left. I don't have this issue as much from the fairway. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

[ronrussell]

Halo again Alex Ron again did you have any thoughts on my purchase of a forward press club 😀

[onesipwonder]

I just tried it with the 6 iron, since that’s what I have problem to hit with. It makes everything a lot easier lol. When I tried with driver though, doesn’t go far. I guess with driver I still need to create bigger circle

[mikerodrick]

Hi Alex; this is a little off the subject, but when instructors say that the feet should be shoulder width apart, are you talking about the outside of your feet or inside of your feet? Wouldn't that make a difference in ball position? Thanks.
