How to PURE Your IRONS Consistently (HIT STRAIGHT)
PGA instructor Adam Bazalgette demonstrates how to improve iron striking by treating the club like a hammer. He emphasizes the importance of side tilt and forward shaft lean to ensure the low point of the swing occurs after the ball for a 'pure' strike. The video includes drills for brushing the ground and using 'pops' to create consistent, crisp contact.
Visualize hitting the back of the ball like a nail in a wall, rather than attacking it from directly above.
Maintain a slight lead hip shift and trailing spine tilt to create the correct entry angle into the ball.
Develop forward shaft lean at impact by adding a 'pop' or wrist release just past the ball.
Practice brushing the ground consistently before trying to hit full shots with high speed.
Use variability practice (intentionally hitting high or low) to build a better 'feel' for where the clubhead is in space.
