Knuckles Could Be Your Answer For Pure Iron Strikes
The Art of Simple Golf introduces 'The Knuckle Pointer' drill to help golfers achieve pure iron strikes and better compression. By focusing on the orientation of the lead knuckles at impact, players can naturally square the clubface and maintain hand-lead for more consistent ball-first contact.
Use the lead knuckles as a reference point for clubface control; pointing them down helps square the face.
Rehearse impact positions to build awareness of where your hands are relative to the ball.
Practice with small chip-like swings before progressing to full shots to solidify the feeling of compression.
Ensure the hands are slightly ahead of the ball at impact to maximize power and strike quality.
