The SIMPLEST Way To Strike Your Iron Shots In Golf

PGA UK Top 50 Coach Alistair Davies breaks down the fundamentals of low point control for crisp iron contact. He shares immediate setup modifications to help shift the low point ahead of the ball, followed by a structured 9-to-3 swing progression to build long-term strike consistency.

• Position your low point roughly under your lead armpit, slightly ahead of the golf ball at impact.
• For quick strike improvements, pre-set your pelvis 2-3 inches toward the target and put 55-60% weight on your lead foot.
• When leaning the shaft forward at address, slightly rotate the face square to prevent leaving the clubface open.
• Use a progressive 9-to-3 swing drill to build low point control and proper lateral hip movement before moving to full swings.
