🗣 Comment 'PURE' if you're tired of hitting weak shots that aren’t compressed! Most players are

Rob Cheney explains how to stop hitting weak, uncompressed iron shots by moving weight forward and creating shaft lean at impact. By starting with 60% of weight on the lead foot and progressing to 90% at impact, golfers achieve crisp ball-first contact. A structured 7-iron half-shot drill helps build confidence and consistency.

• Set up with roughly 60% of your weight pre-loaded on your lead leg.
• Feel like you are falling toward the target at the top of your backswing.
• Target having 90% of your body weight on your front foot at impact.
• Keep your hands ahead of the clubhead so the shaft points toward your lead hip.
• Ensure ground/turf contact happens AFTER hitting the ball.
