Most Golfers Ignore This… And It Ruins Their Ball Striking

GolfDanny MaudeGolf Lesson

If you want to know how to strike irons consistently, how to hit driver straight and how to hit the golf ball further with every club in your bag — this is the golf lesson you need to watch first.

Most golfers searching for how to improve their ball striking focus on swing mechanics, positions and tips. But there is one fundamental that affects every single shot you hit — with your irons, driver, fairway woods, hybrids and even your chip shots. Get this right and you'll strike irons better, hit driver further and stop hitting fat and thin shots almost immediately. Ignore it — which most golfers do — and no tip, drill or lesson will ever fully fix your ball striking.

In this golf lesson I want to show you exactly what I showed my student Allan this week. He came to me still struggling to hit irons consistently and couldn't hit driver straight despite working hard on his game. Once we fixed this one thing — with two simple setup checks and the prop drill — his contact transformed, his distance increased and his accuracy improved. All in a single session. Trackman confirmed his low point moved to 3.1 inches after the golf ball consistently.
