How To Hit Irons Consistently (4 easy golf tips)

PGA Professional Georgia Ball breaks down four essential steps to hitting irons more consistently. She covers proper ball position for different club lengths, a personalized posture drill, the '1-2-3' tempo technique, and a tee-based drill to ensure crisp ball-first contact.

• Position mid-irons just left of center by taking two steps forward and three steps back with your feet.
• Find your ideal posture by extending the club from your belly button and hinging at the hips until the club rests flat.
• Use a '1-2-3' count to maintain a smooth tempo and keep your sternum centered over the ball.
• Place a tee in front of the ball to encourage a downward strike that hits the ball before the ground.
• Avoid rushing the swing, as bad tempo leads to sliding laterally instead of rotating correctly.
