In this instructional short, Bryan Seton explains that clean iron shots are a result of proper impact position rather than swing speed. He demonstrates a simple weight-transfer drill designed to eliminate chunked shots by shifting pressure into the lead side and using forward ball placement to encourage better compression.
Chunked or 'fat' shots are often caused by keeping too much weight on the back foot at impact.
A lifting lead foot or over-rotated finish without forward pressure are signs of poor weight transfer.
Soft arms and relaxed half-swings are essential for feeling the correct pressure shift.
Placing the ball near the lead foot during practice forces the body to move forward to make clean contact.
Better weight shift directly leads to improved compression and ball-striking power.
