OP- if you get the chance can you hit your 3 iron as well.. Curious what your club head and ball speed numbers are for it and your 6 iron.

any reason why you care?

Thanks for this rgk! I needed a different mental trigger for my downswing as I've gone astray from tucking in my right elbow and hitting consistent draws before into a wild cut out-in downswing. I tried the move on the video and it feels good for me. I'll need to incorporate this on my swing, my hope went up after this tip (at the verge of quitting the last months of 2013 season). Thanks a lot! Will keep you posted if it did worked for me

Ignore the trolls, he probably hits 200++ yards 7 iron? 300++ driver? In the end, WHO CARES? ignore trolls

Thinking of the side arm motion we've all done as kids to skip a rock. Same idea

attittude aside, he did raise a good point. let us know how this translates to your driver distance!

As the video tip comes from a Long Drive competitor I suspect it will translate to the driver just fine.

Will do, but I don have the TM set with the three iron yet. Hopefully they should arrive by tomorrow.

Yes, very similar except in Monte's video the right arm is on a slightly more upright plane.

I'm a big Monte Fan.. Here is his blog. He's been a huge poster on golfwrx.com for a long time.

He just posted on tempo...

Here is a good one along the OP's over the top move...

180 yard 6 iron, but you only hit your driver 230..

On a good day I hit my 6 iron around 188-190 and I hit my driver over 50 yards further than you.. Something doesn't add up. Unless you're hitting your 6i off a cliff in Arizona, or a juiced up GT sim.

Maybe he hasn't tried the new swing out with his driver yet. Even that's not the case you should be embarrassed. You're 8 -10 yards longer than a 66 year old. If it is the case, he's about to school you with his driver also.

50+ yards.. But who's counting.

Last time I checked, 188-190 minus 180 equals 8-10. Not 50+.

Watch this video from Monte S. It is magic and has helped me immensely this week. Before using this fix, I was flipping the club and could not hit a 6-iron over 155 yds.

After hitting four low, bladed bullets, as it feels very awkward at first, BOOM, my distance improved to 174-181 yds. with a lovely 18* launch angle and only 4 yards of variance from left-to-right. Darn nice for a 66 year old!

Thanks for posting. I guess mentioning yardages can be equivalent to feeding the animals.

Great tip, and great results. I too have been working on that move with beneficial results. The only thing that I would add, is that you've got to let the wrists do their work by trusting them to release. I have had a habit of steering the club through the strike zone. That's a death move, if your looking for more distance and a better trajectory. Allowing the club to release, on the other hand, combined with coming in from a shallower angle as you suggest, improves both distance and trajectory. As a 65 year old guy, I love that, though, I am no where near you in distance! On the caginess scale, though, we should be close.

I'm happy that it is working for you. I do not have it down on the driver just yet. Perhaps this week in Arizona will yield better results.
