The 3 Secret Drills to Pure Iron Compression

PGA Professional Michael Kanev demonstrates three easy practice drills designed to create crisp iron compression and clean ball-then-turf contact. By utilizing a folded towel behind the ball, practicing with feet together, and dropping the trail foot back at setup, golfers learn better low-point control and centered hip rotation without forcing the swing.

• Place a folded towel behind the ball to gain instant feedback against casting, dragging the club, or hitting fat shots.
• Practice with your feet together to regulate balance naturally and force proper body rotation around your spine.
• Pull your trail foot back with your sternum over the ball to stabilize your lead leg and prevent sliding through impact.
