IRON PLAY
CHECK YOUR CONTACT
For starters, we have to make sure you’re hitting the ball solidly, which means controlling the low point of the swing. What’s the low point? It’s where the clubhead hits the ground, and with every club except the driver, that point should come just past the ball.
The key is the trail arm (the right arm for righties). On the downswing, the trail arm is straightening (right), but you don’t want it to fully extend until after the strike. If it straightens before impact, the low point moves back, and you hit the ball fat or thin. That’s why so many amateurs struggle to make consistent contact.
This week, practice hitting iron shots…
