Hitting Pure Iron Shots
Hitting pure iron shots goes beyond hitting straight iron shots. These shots are hit directly in the center of the face, with a square face and plenty of club head speed.
Here are some things you will need to know to hit a pure iron shot.
- You must strike the ball on your downswing, not the upswing, to achieve proper ball flight and distance from your iron shot.
- To hit a pure iron shot, the lead wrist must be slightly flexed at impact.
- Consistency in setup leads to better balance and stability, improving iron strike consistency.
- Utilizing ground forces by pushing off the ground during the swing increases power and improves the centeredness of the strike.
