Video Description

What’s the real difference between hitting your Driver and your Irons? 🤔
We headed to TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) to find out from co-founder Dave Phillips — one of the world’s leading experts on the body–swing connection.

Using years of 3D motion capture and ground force data, TPI has uncovered what separates the best players from the rest — and why you should never treat your Driver and Iron the same.

06:54 – Iron set up

09:02 – Iron backswing
10:29 – Downswings
14:49 – Feel to real drills
18:29 – Set up vs impact

    Holy shit ! The video of the driver swing pro where he had 80 some odd percent weight back into the back foot right b4 impact…my mimd is blown! Ive been struggling lately with these incredible drives happening when i can feel my weight is still on back foot as i hit the ball …the ball will be gone before my weight is getting back to my front side…ive been trying to “correct” this! And not having fun doing so lol.. hope i didnt miss understand because i think i see a lightbulb starting to light up👍🏼

    A scratch player gave me advice on the range about putting weight on my right foot on my driver for my tilt. I was sceptical but it worked. Now totally convinced. ❤

    should ball position be in the same place for all irons?

    Dave knows more about weight shift than me. Now comes the but most ams have the hardest time moving there weight back to the lead side. Stack and tilt is not as Dave demonstrated the hips move the weight to the front foot and the head stays pretty much steady as the hips move forward. I have played for 58 years and never hit a push draw until I tried S&T.

    It is for sure the best explanation on how to play Golf, how to move and what has to be done…WOW…thanks a lot!!! I think I watched tens of thousands of teaching vids…this is awesome 😇and to me he is right when he says the Golf Pros are often the problem: Mine told me to com over the top and it never changed, then I went to a fitting and he said, no it is your strong grip, that pulls the ball…fixed!
