The secret of the pro tour golf swing is solid contact in the middle of the club-face consistently leading to longer straighter golf shots. In this video Lawrie Montague from www.golfconfidence.org shows you how to hit solid irons shots using by swinging your golf club on its correct swing plane, a principle found in every pro tour golf swing.

Thanks so much for this. I’ve been re-building my swing from scratch having
never had a single lesson and this video (combined with the downswing
lesson) has done wonders for me. Really simplified what initially felt
incredibly complicated and intimidating.
Warning to others using this video: I wouldn’t recommend practicing this
without marking out the plane line. I thought I had it nailed only to film
myself and see it was drifting way on top of the line!
good tips for play iron golf. tq Mr Golf
I never broke a 100 all last season, watched ur video, changed my grip and
hit the range twice and easily shot a 91 today (first time out). I can
see breaking into the 80s next time out. I was sticking my irons all day,
my friends couldnt believe it. Now I have to practice my hybrids and
driver 🙂 thank u!!
Hi Lawrie, Please explain how you would describe the ‘lift’ you talk about
at 2.44. Is this an arms and hand move or through continued shoulder
rotation? Are you ok to literally lift once you hit that point in the
swing?
I’ve had a problem lying off the club. Watched your video, spent about 10
minutes in my garage practicing, went to the range and employed the
concepts you talked about. Swing transformation in one hour. You made a
sometimes complicated move (backswing) easy to understand and perform.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video this might b the answer for my swing as I’m hitting
most of my drives left or I push them well right I knew I had a swing plane
problem and been trying to fix it, with no luck. 20 odd years ago I used a
pro-simmon wooden driver and hardly missed a fairway but with the new
drives had a lot problems being the shafts are longer and I lost my swing.
Now I might have found it again cheers
Back to the range..another 120 swings…can’t wait…
Great video, however as I see in the swing videos of PGA pros, the club
does NOT point to the target line once it moves above the chest. You can
check Tiger’s video can verify this. This amazon golf bestseller explains
it very well: Decoding the Golf Swing Plane.
Thank you for saving me $1000 dollars!!!! Huge I am a 6 handicap but have
trouble with laying off my backswing and get that over the top miss left
50% of the time. Very simple swing thought can’t wait to get to the range
today!!
This video helped sooo much and I thank you. My iron shots are making a
great contact and going far and either a small fade or draw. I also broke
my best on my course which is now a 78 on a par 64. Thank you for making
this video!
Thank you so much for this tip. I am a 12 handicap but struggle mightily
with over the top. I can’t afford lessons but from your suggestion realize
that my back-swing has been my primary issue, I’m immediately off plane. I
cannot wait to try applying your lesson to the range this afternoon.

Excellent process
Your backswing and downswing videos have helped me hit the ball straighter
than I have ever hit the ball before. No doubt! Just to make sure that I
am following your setup correctly, should my rope be along the ball target
line or where my shaft is lined up with the ground (about 1 to 2 inches
inside the ball target line).
Great video, very helpful. What starts the back swing, the hands?
shoulders? core? chest? feet? I have always heard that the golf swing
starts from the ground up, if you could shed a little more light on the
initial takeaway and how it starts I would appreciated it.
Well I’m back from a years break. This is still my favorite drill to do.
Here’s my problem and I can’t figure it out. I’m having problem lining up
the club back at the 9 o’clock parallel to the target line. My clubhead
tends to go a lot inside at that waist high point on the way back. And I’m
completely stuck just like my clubhead haha. Either I’m hinging too early
or I’m just rotating my arms wrong; or overdoing both. What’s the easiest
way to set those wrists/hands/arms?
My advice is that as your hands and pass your right knee the golf club can
start to move to the inside. The golf club-head will travel straight back
for about 12 inches before it starts to travel inwards. I hope that helps,
thanks for your question and taking the time to comment.
Thank you for your comments. The contrived feeling is feedback that you are
trying to change your stroke pattern and being told not to. However all
levels of change from simple to complex require struggle before mastery.
The struggle is changing one habit for another. You have 2 choices; 1.
change your pattern and learn to cock your wrists on plane or 2. develop a
compensating downswing motion that is compatible with your current
back-swing motion. Both are acceptable but # 2. is easier to do.
I’m very pleased that you have gained value from my video and that you are
playing better as a result. Thanks for sharing your success and I wish you
well with your game.
Hey, great video! I have a question I would like to ask you, I recently
just started playing golf, about 5 months ago, and now in the last week iv
shot 2 rounds of 80, im 32 years old, would it be possible for me to get
down to scratch within the next 2 years?
Really good to read that the video helped you with your game and I wish you
the best of luck with your golf and thanks for sharing your comments.
I’m so pleased to read that the video has helped you to play better golf.
