GAME CHANGER IRON TIP! To strike your irons like a pro NO MATTER AGE OR ABILITY!
Alex Elliott explains how 'driver swing' habits cause golfers to scoop and lift, leading to fat and thin iron shots. He provides a three-level system to fix ball position, maintain height through impact, and master a negative attack angle using a unique club-pushing drill.
Position your 7-iron ball roughly half a ball ahead of center to ensure the low point of the swing occurs after the ball.
Avoid 'lifting' or standing up at impact; elite ball strikers actually get lower and more compact through the hitting zone.
Use the 'Push Drill' to create resistance and feel the correct lead-arm structure and weight transfer at impact.
Practice at half speed and half swing length to allow the brain to process new impact feelings before moving to full shots.
A negative attack angle (ideally around -4.5 degrees for a 7-iron) is essential for crisp, 'ball-then-turf' contact.
