Do This in the Downswing to Stop Fat Iron Shots

• Fix fat shots by ensuring weight is favored on the lead side at setup (roughly 60%).
• In the downswing, feel the ankles 'roll' toward the target to ensure the low point of the swing is after the ball.
• Good rotation without lateral shift often causes the club to bottom out early; you must shift before you spin.
• Use a 'Pump Drill' to sync the weight shift with the arms dropping into the slot.
• Closing the clubface through the hitting zone is essential when shifting forward to prevent the ball from leaking right.
