🗣️ Comment “PURE” if you want to compress the ball better and strike it solid more often! This

Golf coach Rob Cheney demonstrates a tee-based drill designed to create crisp iron contact and ball compression. By placing a tee peg 5–6 inches in front of the ball position, golfers are forced to shift their weight to the lead leg and maintain forward shaft lean through impact.

• Place a tee peg 5–6 inches ahead of the ball position, roughly aligned with your lead foot.
• Make practice swings without a ball, focusing entirely on striking the tee in front.
• Moving your weight to your lead leg moves the swing's low point forward past the ball.
• Maintaining forward shaft lean prevents early releasing or scooping through impact.
• Reintroduce the ball once you can reliably hit the forward tee.
