This Iron Lesson Will Improve You Instantly | 3 Best Drills From Top Golf Coaches

PGA instructor Eric Cogorno and top coach Steve Sieracki demonstrate how side tilt at impact keeps golfers in posture and fixes standing up in the swing. By presetting lower body weight forward and keeping the trail shoulder and hip low, golfers learn to hit solid, consistent iron shots with a shallow inside path.

• The best ball strikers maintain lower trail hip and trail shoulder positions through impact compared to higher handicappers.
• Shifting lower body weight forward presets side tilt, enabling you to maintain your spine angle and inclination to the ground.
• Focus on moving the trail knee, trail hip, and trail shoulder around and under the lead side during follow-through.
• Allowing hips to back up in the downswing flattens side tilt, forcing the trail shoulder high and causing top or pulled shots.
