Tour-Level 7-Iron Numbers From a Pivot-Driven Swing
Brad Hawkins demonstrates a pivot-driven 7-iron swing that focuses on keeping the ribs and pelvis stacked to avoid the common 'stall and flip' pattern. By prioritizing torso rotation over independent arm movement, golfers can achieve tour-level numbers with minimal clubface manipulation at impact.
Keep ribs stacked over the pelvis to ensure the upper body turns from a supported position.
The 'middle' of the body should drive the shoulders and arms, rather than the arms swinging independently.
Avoid excessive lateral shifts in favor of a more 'vertical' set in the downswing.
An organized pivot prevents the hands from needing to 'rescue' the club at the bottom of the swing.
Focus on a free turn through the ball to maintain shaft lean and consistent impact.
