I made a WEIRD adjustment that got me hitting my 7 iron 21 YARDS LONGER

PGA instructor Alex Elliott explains how he added 21 yards of carry to his 7-iron by focusing on wrist angles and body sequencing. Using HackMotion data, he demonstrates the 'Motorcycle Drill' to create shaft lean and a step-through drill to ensure the body leads the arms for maximum power.

• Avoid 'punching with the arms'; true power comes from sequencing the body to lead the club.
• Bowing the lead wrist (the Motorcycle move) delofts the iron, effectively turning a 7-iron into a 6-iron at impact.
• Initiate the lower body transition when the lead arm is parallel to the ground in the backswing.
• Maintaining better wrist angles at impact leads to more centered strikes and significantly higher ball speeds.
• Use a step-drill to feel the pressure shift early, which helps keep the hips open through the hitting zone.
