Unlock power iron shots: 3 simple steps #golf #golftips #golfinstruction #golftraining

PGA instructor Alex Elliott reveals three key reference points to improve long iron striking and power. By focusing on a 70/30 weight distribution and a specific '50% down, 50% across' shoulder movement, golfers can achieve a tour-level impact position using the 'Preset' drill.

• Aim for 70% of your weight on the lead side at the moment of impact.
• The trail shoulder should move in a 50/50 ratio: 50% down and 50% across toward the target.
• Maintain a slight bend in the trail wrist at impact to avoid 'casting' or losing compression.
• Use 'The Preset' drill by rocking the right foot in and pre-aligning the shoulders to feel the correct strike position.
• Matching your golf ball to your swing speed via fitting tools can improve overall iron performance.
