The #1 Tip To Strike Your Irons PERFECTLY Every Time!
In this video, Giles Gill explains how to achieve a tour-pro strike by mastering 'low point' control through the Bank Drill. By presetting 90% of pressure on the lead side at impact, golfers can eliminate fat and thin shots and achieve consistent ball-first compression.
The 'low point' of a pro iron shot is typically 4-5 inches past the golf ball, whereas amateurs often strike at or behind the ball.
Body mass location dictates low point; getting roughly 90% of weight onto the lead leg at impact is the primary driver of clean contact.
The Bank Drill presets this pressure by straightening the trail leg and rolling the trail foot inward (banking) during setup.
Maintain the banked trail foot feeling through the backswing and downswing to ensure the low point stays ahead of the ball.
Progress from a fully banked setup to a normal setup while retaining the 'feel' of lead-side pressure to transfer the drill to the course.
