🗣️ Comment “PURE” if you want to understand the real difference between driver and irons! Driver

PGA instructor Rob Cheney explains that while driver and iron swings are mostly identical, the movement of the lead shoulder is the defining difference. By positioning the ball behind the lead shoulder with an iron, golfers create an angled swing radius that ensures a downward strike and consistent low-point control.

• The major movements of driver and iron swings are mostly the same, despite popular belief.
• The lead shoulder acts as the center of the swing radius and dictates club delivery.
• For irons, the ball must be positioned behind the lead shoulder to ensure the club hits the ball first and the ground second.
• Low point control is achieved by maintaining an angled radius that reaches its lowest point after the ball.
