WITHOUT DOUBT the most EFFECTIVE Iron Technique TO DATE!
PGA instructor Alex Elliott works with former footballer Phil Jagielka to fix a heavy pull-fade by adjusting ball position and setup alignment. By moving the ball further back in the stance and squaring the shoulders, they successfully neutralize an out-to-in club path for more powerful, straighter iron shots.
Moving the ball forward in the stance naturally encourages an out-to-in (leftward) swing path, while moving it back encourages an in-to-out path.
Hiding the lead forearm from a down-the-line perspective at address helps square the shoulders and prevent an open alignment.
A 'ball-back' setup helps golfers who struggle with an over-the-top move to 'slot' the club from the inside more effectively.
Use exaggerated closed-shoulder drills at the range to neutralize a chronic slice or pull pattern.
Sequence is often improved by setup: a better ball position allows the arms to work down rather than out during the transition.
