The Missing Keys to Flushing Every Iron

PGA instructor George Gankas works with college golfer Brooke to resolve inconsistent start lines and face control. Gankas explains how squaring the clubface early allows aggressive lead shoulder rotation up and back through impact without stalling or throwing the club head. He details a 5-step blueprint including pelvic re-centering, takeaway depth control, and continuous upper-body rotation.

• Square the clubface early (P6) so you can rotate continuously through impact without slowing down to flip the face square.
• Keep the lead arm slightly bent prior to impact to permit the chest and shoulders to open fully through the shot.
• Re-center your pelvis in the backswing so your belt buckle stays balanced between your feet rather than sliding lateral.
• Pull the lead shoulder aggressively up and back from P6 to P9 to avoid stalling or chasing down the line.
