Control distance by<br />
swinging within yourself<br />
Golfers with good distance control never look like they’re<br />
swinging hard at the ball. Because iron shots are all about<br />
precision, you should swing at about 70 per cent – as opposed<br />
to 90 per cent for the driver – so you can be controlled and<br />
consistent. Forget your ego and simply ‘club up’ to increase<br />
distance rather than swinging harder and losing your rhythm<br />
and tempo. Your results and scores will benefit. These drills will<br />
help you find your natural rhythm and tempo and swing within<br />
yourself to increase your accuracy.<br />
Another good drill is<br />
to hum as you swing.<br />
If the pitch and tone<br />
of your hum varies<br />
through the swing<br />
then you aren’t as<br />
smooth or controlled<br />
as you need to be.<br />
Try counting in your head as you swing.<br />
Start with ‘one’ at address, ‘two’<br />
halfway into the backswing, ‘three’ at<br />
the top and ‘four’ as you make impact.<br />
This is also a good illustration of the fact<br />
the backswing should take twice as<br />
long as the downswing.<br />
TAKE AN EXTRA CLUB<br />
A great way to get used to swinging<br />
within yourself is to try hitting your<br />
6-iron the same distance you normally<br />
hit a 7-iron. Practice to a specific target<br />
and you’ll be amazed at how much<br />
more accurate this makes you too.
