If you hit better iron shots than drives, you can improve your tee shots by training your body to rotate without moving so much laterally. And if you drive the ball better than you hit irons, you need a better blend of lateral and rotational movement.
Solid iron play comes down to two things: where the low point of your swing hits the ground, and how the clubface rotates. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown to get both right.
Early headlines at The Annika LPGA event were dominated by 18-year-old Kai Trump and WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark – to the point that Nelly Korda’s return to the course for her first start in six weeks became a secondary story. It’s not often that the 27-year-old is the understudy.
To fix the fats with your short clubs, try moving the ball forward in your stance, which promotes the proper weight transfer to your front side on the downswing and the ball-then-turf contact you want.
Change comes with its own challenges, and Scott has done about as much tinkering as any player of his level. He says he’s gone through four sets of irons this year.
Making ball-first contact is the key to hitting crisp, consistent iron shots. Adding a little visual cue like this, simple as it is, can really help you do that.
Davis Thompson, who is in the top-25 on the PGA Tour this year in strokes gained/approach the green, says the technique he’s been working on will also greatly help your game.
