Do THIS before Ever Shot and FLUSH your Irons!

PGA Professional Chris Dennis from Get Good At Golf explains how to stop scooping and start compressing your irons. He demonstrates the 'Handshake Drill' to help golfers achieve a neutral clubface and proper release, while also highlighting common setup errors like incorrect ball position.

• Avoid the tendency to 'help' the ball into the air, which leads to hanging back and poor contact.
• Monitor your ball position; don't let it creep forward toward your lead foot like a driver setup.
• Use the Handshake Drill to ensure your trail hand stays neutral through the impact and release zone.
• Examine your divots: a divot the width of the club head indicates square turf interaction and proper compression.
• Focus on a neutral palm position at the top of the swing to prevent blocked shots or slices.
