Why You Can’t Strike Your Woods and Long Irons - EASY FIX
PGA instructor Danny Maude explains why many golfers struggle with woods and long irons, focusing on the swing circle's low point. He demonstrates three key fixes: optimizing ball position inside the lead heel, maintaining swing arc height with the 'Chin on a Shelf' visualization, and mastering the 'Fish's Tail' release for perfect loft and face control.
Move ball position forward to just inside the lead heel to maintain clubhead loft at impact.
Visualize your chin resting on a shelf to keep your posture level and prevent fat or thin shots.
Maintain the radius of your arms throughout the swing to avoid 'crumpling' at impact.
Use the 'Fish's Tail' trail wrist motion to create a natural release and square the clubface.
Woods and hybrids should graze the grass rather than taking a deep divot like an iron.
