PGA Golf Instructor Chris Ryan demonstrates how keeping the lead shoulder lower during the early downswing improves downward attack angle and shaft lean at impact. Using towel obstacle drills and lead-foot ground force feels, golfers learn to hit down cleanly on iron shots while correcting excessive inside-out swing paths.
Keep the lead shoulder lower than the trail shoulder longer during transition to prevent early lifting and flipping.
Feel pressure push down into the lead foot like crushing an object early in the downswing before extending upward through impact.
A level or shallow attack angle combined with an extreme in-to-out path frequently leads to heavy fat contact.
Use a towel behind the ball to gain immediate feedback on low-point control and attack angle steepness.
