Hello.
I'm Brian Fitzgerald The Golf Doctor.
And today I am going to talk about something I have been asked twice this week.
So coincidentally two different people, two different days.
So if these two people are asking me the question.
I think I need to answer it in this video.
So what is the question.
The question is.
Should my irons sit flat on the ground at address?
If you are interested in this stay tuned.
[Music]
So if this is your first time to this channel.
Welcome.
This channel os all about helping you play better golf.
And as I said before.I have been asked twice this week the same question.
Should my irons sit flat at address?
The answer is no.
You don't want your club sitting flat at address.
The reason being.
When we swing a golf club.
We've got a lot of dynamic movement.
We have got our body moving, our legs moving, arms moving, spine moving.There is a lot of
moving.
So it is not a stationary thing.
It's a dynamic movement.
So when I swing the club dynamically.
What happens is the club bends.
The shaft of the club bends that way during the swing.
I think most people realize that the shaft bends that way.
But also a little known fact it also bends that way.
In addition to that.
When we are trying to create a little bit of power.
Our hands become more upright at address.
So what happens is we may start out with the club sitting flat on the ground.
But due to the dynamic movement and our hands getting higher.
We tend to get the club more towards the toe of the club.
Combined with the act that the shaft bends a little bit.
The toe comes down.
We really don't want to have that club starting flat.
We need to allow for it.
We know it's going to do that.
So what we need to do is just start with the toe of the club slightly off the ground a
little bit more.
So we have our hands slightly lower at address.
That gives us room so when we get that dynamic movement the club can get back to nice and
straight and flat at impact.
Now of course that's provided our clubs have been fitted to our swing.
And this is really important.
If you have the wrong fitting club in terms of lie angle.
It's really going to make it difficult for you to hit good shots.
So you need to see a PGA Golf Professional preferably that's my preference.
They have had a lot of training in this area and they also are golf coaches.
So they understand the dynamic between coaching and fitting.
So if you get the right fitted iron.
When we start in our address position we just want the toe to be slightly off the ground.
That allows us for our dynamic movement where our hands get slightly higher.
And at the point of impact the bottom of our club will st nice and flat.
So it's really important that we get our clubs fitted.
Now one little known fact.
And I have said this in a video before.
But when we are using our most lofted wedge.
In this case it is a 60 degree sand wedge.
For me to hit the ball.
So that I want to get the club up high and over the bunker.
I will tend to keep my hands lower.
So in terms of what we said before about the dynamic movement.
Our hands become higher.
When we try to hit a little soft shot over a bunker and try to stop the ball on the green.
We tend to keep our hands a little bit lower.
So in actual fact you want to try and get the lie angle with your most lofted club a
little bit flatter than the rest.
I still want your hands lower to start with.
So as soon as I try and hit that lofted shot up and over the bunker I keep my hands quite
low and I return them quite low.
So instead of getting that hand high for power.
I am keeping my hands low so that I can get the leading edge under the ball.
Get the maximum loft on the golf club to get it up in the air.
So it's quite common for our most lofted wedge to be 2 degrees flatter than what our standard
iron make up is.
So I hope that answers the question for you.
Thank you for letting me help you with your golf.
