Attack the pin!<br />
Improve your iron striking and trajectory to hit laser-guided approach shots.<br />
Irons are precision clubs. Unlike the driver, where you want<br />
to hit the ball a long way, iron play is all about hitting it as<br />
close as possible to a specific target. You can always go up<br />
a club if you want to hit it further so iron play must be built<br />
around control and consistency to achieve the best results.<br />
There are three elements to good iron play – ball striking,<br />
flight control and distance control.<br />
A quality strike enables you to produce consistent and<br />
repeatable launch conditions. From this solid basis, you can<br />
tweak your flight and carry distance to tailor each shot to<br />
the situation you face.<br />
Here, I will explain how you can improve each of these<br />
three areas to hit your irons closer to the flag and set up<br />
more and better birdie opportunities.<br />
