🗣️ Comment “PURE” if you want to compress the ball like the best players! Driver vs

Golf instructor Rob Cheney highlights the critical lead shoulder difference between driver and iron swings at impact. For drivers, keeping the lead shoulder aligned with setup but slightly higher creates a shallow attack angle, while moving the lead shoulder slightly forward with irons helps hit down and compress the ball.

• With a driver, the lead shoulder at impact should be slightly higher than at setup to encourage a shallow attack angle.
• With irons, hybrids, and fairway woods, the lead shoulder must shift slightly forward toward the target at impact.
• Moving the lead shoulder forward on iron shots enables you to strike down on the ball and achieve proper compression.
