Do THIS and strike your next iron pure!

Swing Quest Golf demonstrates how to achieve pure iron strikes by correcting a common inside takeaway and improving impact mechanics. The instructor explains how an inside takeaway leads to an over-the-top scoop and provides two specific drills—the Outside the Hands Drill and the Tape Drill—to ensure a descending blow and ball-first contact.

• An inside takeaway often forces a reactionary 'over-the-top' move and a scooping impact.
• Keep the clubhead 'outside' the hands during the takeaway to keep it in front of the chest.
• Hinged wrists and a proper takeaway allow for a descending strike without 'backing out' of the shot.
• Use a piece of tape 3-4 inches behind the ball to provide instant feedback on whether you are hitting the ball first.
• Practice with half-swings initially to build the sensation of compression and ball-first contact.
