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

Golf coach Rob Cheney addresses whether the driver and iron swings are different or the same. While both swings share major technical fundamentals, the lead shoulder's movement during the downswing dictates the necessary downward attack angle for ground-based iron shots.

• Driver and iron swings share fundamental movements, but delivery varies due to ball height.
• The lead shoulder serves as the center of the swing radius for iron shots.
• Positioning the ball behind the lead shoulder creates an angled radius to ensure a downward strike.
• Proper lead shoulder position controls the swing's low point, ensuring ball-then-turf contact.
