This NEW Method Lets Amateurs Compress the Ball Like Pros!

PGA instructor Steve Pratt demonstrates a simple three-step drill designed to help amateur golfers compress iron shots with tour-level forward shaft lean. By learning how to drive the handle past the ball through lower-body rotation while feeling an upward and leftward swish through impact, golfers can create crisp, ball-first contact with a shallow angle of attack.

• Set your lead arm at 9 o'clock in the backswing with the wrist set underneath to support wrist lag.
• Drive the club handle past the ball toward your lead instep using body rotation rather than pulling with your hands.
• Feel like you are swishing the club upward and around to the left past impact to shallow the angle of attack.
• Proper compression requires combining forward shaft lean with a shallow angle of attack rather than chopping down on the ball.
