024: The Driver Swing vs. The Iron Swing
Episode 24
Tuesday, 19 August, 2025
We break down what truly changes (and what doesn’t) when you switch from irons to the driver or vice versa. We agree that the differences are smaller than most think: setup leads the way (including a bit more axis tilt, often under six degrees, with the driver), while contact goals shift (no ground contact needed on a tee ball). We explore how gear effect influences misses with the larger head, why tighter spin loft matters, and how lower spin can send shots farther offline. You’ll also hear how minor adjustments to sway and path help keep your favorite feels intact across both clubs. Hosts: Erik J.
