Do This Before Every Iron Shot (It Changes EVERYTHING)
PGA Professional Georgia Ball demonstrates a simple setup adjustment and a structured pre-shot routine to improve iron strike consistency. By implementing a slight forward hand press and using an 'immediate target' for alignment, golfers can ensure they hit the ball before the ground for purer, more predictable shots.
Set your hands slightly ahead of the ball at setup to move your low point forward and avoid 'scooping'.
Establish a consistent 30-second pre-shot routine to stay present and clear negative thoughts.
Use an 'immediate target' (like a leaf or blade of grass) just in front of the ball to make alignment easier than aiming hundreds of yards away.
Always align your clubface to the target first, then set your feet and shoulders parallel to that line.
A forward press at setup closes a weak, open face and creates a more 'athletic' and stable address position.
