Do you know Iona it’s fabulous watching you as you don’t complicate things. You explain things so simply that it’s easy to understand. So many coaches over complicate things.

Thanks for the educational and fun videos Iona, enjoy them. I happen to be a retired hand surgeon in USA and of course have noted your comments about your wrist injury and surgeries; hope you continue to feel better and are able to enjoy your golf and other activities. Sorry you've been through so much. I do notice you use regular adhesive tape and worry that might inflame you skin. You might try some of the non adhesive type wraps; Some common types are Coban wrap are athletic (ankle sprain) prewrap. "Foam sport underwear"; "3M self adherent sports wrap." Hope it feels better.

Great tips there! Slowing down my driver swing is the thing I work on most. Feels like a pause at the top, but it's really just allowing my body to get in sync before the downswing sequence. As you said, slowing down the backswing allows the through swing to be faster--confirmed with a launch monitor. My natural tendency is to be too quick.
@brianclark35038 ай бұрын
Thanks for this, Iona. My range sessions are always a struggle with that "drag and hit" routine you mentioned. I try to recreate all the good things I hope I do when I play.🤞 Stand behind the ball, pick a target, step in and perform. Range sessions are what proofs the pudding. It's great to get your insights on making the most of practice time.
@dougm6598 ай бұрын
Funny coincidence, I was just booking some more lessons with my pro and mentioned how sweet Iona’s timing was to him and how I’d like to replicate that in my swing, which is all outta whack again….timing and quality of strike are so much more valuable than power!

Hi Iona, I love the way you present and deliver the information, almost in digestible chunks which as an amateur golfer is really helpful; you can just work on different parts of the video and then move on to the next stage when you feel you’re ready. Having had 4 surgeries: both shoulders and elbows, it’s hard to find rhythm and flexibility so anything you can suggest for less flexible people is very welcomed. Keep posting, they’re great 👍🏾

Love the slow take asway...for myself, I am a big fan of Nelly Korda as well as Iona. I do a bit of hovering and like to put the ball off my front foot big toe to get the hit on the upswing...for that 20 extra yards of distance. Thanks Iona for sharing.

The taping of the wrist is a must for you as you have documented here. I have ECU tendonopathy in my left (lead) wrist caused by bad swings (flipping) and over use of driving range mats. I notice you tape above the Ulnar head bobbly bit, what injury did you initially have before the arthritis set in. Great video Iona as usual, absolute gold for us mid-handicappers. Much Love ❤

Very interesting point with woods about it being shallower and more round your body and less tight, my 3 wood has been hit about 10 times in 3 years, I was struggling with driver but try to feel like hands don't get higher than the shoulder in the back swing and has massively helped so this could be my fix with 3 wood as well.
