Stop Struggling With Iron Compression
To become an expert with irons play in golf, you need to master two key aspects: clubface control and low point control. Clubface control means being able to adjust the angle of the clubface at impact to influence the starting direction and shape of the ball flight. Low point control means being able to hit the ball first and then the ground, creating a solid contact and a consistent distance.
Tips & Drills To Improve Your
Iron Play
-
To improve your clubface control, you need to understand how your grip, wrist hinge, and body rotation affect the clubface position. A neutral grip, a proper wrist hinge, and a balanced body rotation can help you keep the clubface square to the target line.
-
You can practice hitting balls with different clubface angles, such as open, closed, or square, and observe how they affect the ball flight. You can also use alignment sticks or other visual aids to check your clubface alignment at different points of your swing.
By working on these two aspects, you can become a more proficient and consistent iron player.
Science Of The Swing
The downswing of a golf iron just before impact is a fascinating display of biomechanics and physics in action. As a golfer transitions from the backswing to the downswing, several key movements occur.
-
To improve your low point control, you need to shift your weight forward and maintain a steady head position during the downswing. This will help you create a downward angle of attack and a forward divot.
-
You can practice hitting balls off a downhill lie, a tee, or a towel to train your low point. You can also use a drill called the “9 to 3 drill”, where you swing the club from 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock, focusing on hitting the ball and then the ground.
You can achieve this performance with us. Thinning, blading, shanking and hooking the ball are bad form from the start.
