The right technique for the club’s design<br />
Irons are perfectly engineered to deliver a crisp strike at<br />
at the start of the downswing then the clubhead will naturally<br />
impact. Think of the club as a tool that is designed to help us<br />
square up into impact, so the ball will start on your intended<br />
hit the ball in the best way possible. Our technique must<br />
line. And if the clubface is leaning forward at impact the ball<br />
complement this and allow the club to work as intended. If<br />
will make contact with the sweetspot, which creates<br />
you can get yourself into a good position to deliver the club<br />
maximum ball speed and optimum backspin.<br />
MANIPULATION<br />
REQUIRED<br />
If the clubhead is inside or outside the<br />
neutral line then you can’t simply pull<br />
the club on line and square it up. You<br />
must manipulate the club into impact,<br />
which requires more timing and leads<br />
to inconsistency.<br />
✘<br />
The club is designed to be<br />
swung with the mass of the<br />
head behind the hands on<br />
the neutral plane in the<br />
downswing. From here, the<br />
hands can simply pull the<br />
club in line on the way<br />
down and the face will<br />
naturally come back to<br />
square for impact.<br />
HIT THE SWEETSPOT<br />
The sweetspot in an iron is on the fifth<br />
or sixth groove up from the bottom.<br />
The cluhead must be leaning forward<br />
at impact for this part of the face to<br />
contact the ball. This is why forward<br />
shaft lean at impact is so important.<br />
