Add Ten Yards To Your Irons
That’s because your arms outrace your body, the true seat of power in a golf swing. You must plug those power leaks in your iron swing to add yards to your swing. Here are six keys to plugging those power leaks:
- Maintain your head behind the ball
- Assume a powerful back arm position
- Keep the shaft is ahead club at impact
- Keep hips and arms are in the same place
- Make sure the back of your front hand faces the target
- Transfer your weight to your forward foot.
The key to hitting power irons is to arrive at impact with a descending blow. Unfortunately, some golfers swings are so flat, they can’t return the iron squarely to the ball at impact. Here’s a drill that teaches you to generate good clubface-to-ball contact with your irons: Stick an umbrella in the ground. Next, place a ball on the ground so that when you take your stance the heel of your back foot is about two feet from the umbrella. Swing back. If the club hits the umbrella, your swing is too flat.
Take numerous practice swings until you’re sure you’ll miss the umbrella on the way up. Before you hit balls, move the umbrella back six to ten inches, so you won’t hit it on the way back down. But use it as a reminder. Move it back to its original position when practicing. If your backswing path is flat, you can’t return the club squarely to the ball. You’ll hit weak irons no matter how fast or hard you swing. Work on the drills like the one described above to ingrained its fundamentals and plug the power leaks.
Making solid contact consistently adds yards to your irons and cuts strokes from your scores.
How To Make A Restricted Swing Shot
You can hit a shot in the woods even on the best of days. When that happens, chances are good you’ve lost your ball, but not always. If you do find your ball, it may be lodged tightly up against the base of a tree. While you can make a full backswing, you can’t follow-through without slamming into the trunk. Knowing how to make a restricted swing can save you and your club.
- Below are five keys to this shot:
- Take a shoulder-width stance
- Play the ball toward the middle
- Hinge your wrist quickly
- Power the club down with your arms
- Pull back at impact
The secret to making this shot is not to slow your swing down, but to maintain your normal speed and take a smaller swing. That way you can pull your club back at impact. Select a mid- or short iron for the shot. (A shorter club is easier to control and doesn’t travel as fast as a long iron.)
Take a shoulder width stance, play the ball as close to the middle of your stance as possible. But if you must play the ball forward, that’s okay. Just place more weight on your front foot. Take the club back by hinging your wrists quickly. Swing your hands back to hip height, then power the club down with your arms. Pull the club back the moment you make contact with the ball, almost as if the club were rebounding from the ball.
Try to take a steep divot. Many golfers slow their swings with this lie. That leads to mis-hits. Maintain your swing speed, take a shorter swing, and pull the club back at impact. This will save your hands and your club. If all goes well, you’ll find yourself back on the fairway in good position.
