HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR golf IRON SWING Loft rules everything
Mark Crossfield (AskGolfGuru) explains the critical role of dynamic loft in iron play and how to stop hitting weak, high shots to the right. He demonstrates how to manipulate wrist angles and handle lean to control trajectory, offering a specific drill to help golfers find a 'happy medium' for better ball flight.
Dynamic loft is the actual loft presented to the ball at impact, which differs from the club's static loft.
Avoid 'flicking' or extending the lead wrist at impact, which adds loft and often pushes the ball right.
To lower trajectory, focus on getting the handle ahead of the clubhead at impact (forward shaft lean).
Practice both adding and taking off loft to build a better awareness of how your wrist angles control the clubface.
Keep your ball position constant while practicing trajectory changes to ensure you are fixing your technique, not just compensating.
