How To Hit PERFECT Iron Shots

PGA Professional Georgia Ball provides a comprehensive guide to hitting perfect iron shots by focusing on setup consistency, rotation, and impact control. She demonstrates a series of easy-to-follow drills, including the Single Leg Drill for rotation and the Gate Drill for centered strikes, designed to produce longer and straighter iron shots.

• Position mid-irons just left of center and flare your toes out to allow for easier body rotation.
• Determine distance from the ball by bending from the hips and letting arms hang naturally.
• Avoid swaying by using drills that force the chest to turn over the trail side during the backswing.
• Ensure ball-first contact by placing a tee in front of the ball and aiming to hit both during the swing.
• Use a tee gate to improve path and face angle consistency at impact.
