Struggling to compress your irons cleanly? #golfswing #golftips
Me and My Golf demonstrate the 'Pump Drill' to help golfers stop scooping and start compressing their irons. The technique focuses on holding lag, shifting weight to the lead side, and rotating through impact to ensure the club doesn't release too early. By rehearsing the downswing feel before hitting, players can achieve a more penetrating ball flight and cleaner contact.
Losing lag early (casting) causes the club to hit behind the ball or result in thin, high-launching shots.
The Pump Drill involves setting a 90-degree wrist angle and lowering the hands to the right thigh while keeping the clubhead elevated.
Proper compression requires a weight shift toward the target combined with body rotation.
Use a '1-2-hit' rhythm to successfully transfer the feeling of lag from the rehearsal pumps into the actual shot.
