PGA professional Georgia Ball shares three key techniques to achieve pure iron strikes by eliminating tension and embracing a 'lazy' swing feel. She demonstrates the 'toothpaste tube' grip pressure, the 'gravity drop' transition, and the 'brush don't bash' mental approach to fix common issues like chunking and thinning the ball.
Lighten your grip tension to the level of holding a toothpaste tube to improve clubface control and body flow.
Avoid pulling the club down from the top of the swing; instead, let gravity naturally drop the club as you transition weight.
Maintain your posture by feeling like your glutes stay against an imaginary wall during the downswing.
Adopt the 'brush don't bash' mental thought to focus on smooth turf interaction rather than forcing power into the ground.
Ensure your divot occurs after the ball by focusing on brushing the grass toward the target.
