Stop trying to hit down on it. ⛳️

In this lesson from Scratch Golf Academy, golfers learn how to avoid excessively steep delivery on short irons by shallowing their angle of attack. The video demonstrates techniques to achieve natural forward shaft lean and cleaner ball striking without digging deep divots.

• Avoid trying to force a steep downward blow, which leads to deep divots and heavy contact.
• Promote a shallower angle of attack to smooth out delivery into impact.
• Maintain forward shaft lean for crisp ball-first contact and improved consistency.
