How to Hit Iron Shots
PRE-SHOT
*Evaluate your lie & *Select an iron that will still reach the green if you miss-hit the shot GOOD LIES
SET-UP *ALWAYS tee the ball up on the tee-box *When choosing a target to play at, aim at something above the target. (top of a tree, chimney on a house ect.) *Set your hands slightly forward to promote a downward blow *Ball position generally in the middle of your feet *Focus your eyes towards the front of the ball for cleaner contact EXECUTION *A full shoulder turn is a good swing thought. *Never try to scoop/lift the ball in the air. Use a more lofted club to hit it higher! *Longer irons- shallow divots Shorter irons- deeper divots *DONT keep your head down the entire swing Q & A *Are your irons built for you? *Understanding your Lie angles is critical. Example: A club that is too upright will close the face at impact - which may not be a bad thing if you constantly fight a slice. *Why do you hit behind the ball more often with your wedges? |
