THE BEST Senior IRON Swing for Elite Level Play and Competition

This video is a continuation of “THE BEST Senior Swing for Elite Level Play and Competition”. In the first video I covered the driver swing: now, in this video, I cover the iron swing. The two swings are similar but there are some key differences when hitting the ball off the ground with an iron, hybrid, or fairway metal instead of off a tee with a driver. While other online golf instructors suggest that seniors prioritize a bigger backswing, my senior swing prioritizes elite-level impact with power coming from proper sequencing made possible and enhanced by the specific stance and posture I describe. The problem with the bigger backswing method (which utilizes a closed stance for more lower and upper body turn and more swing length) is that the inability to clear the lower body heading into impact leaves the right arm back and behind the body, resulting in a “flip” or “throw” release action which we all know leads to inconsistent ball striking; fat shots, thin shots, and directional issues, all actually robbing you of distance and accuracy. My senior swing method, when applied fully, enables you to compress the ball, which often results in more consistent distance and ball control.

If you are a serious senior golfer who has lost some trunk mobility and want to play your best, watch the video and employ the technique within. If you need any assistance contact me at my web site WayneD.com for either an in-person or online lesson.
