Golf Iron Swing Tips

This is the first part in the the series of Golf Iron Swing Tips.

Part 1 - Lean.

Leaning correctly is of utmost importance to achieve a professional golf swing. In order to make a solid impact with the ball, your iron and your body must be positioned precisely. If you fail to achieve correct positioning, you will fail to strike the ball crisply.

The secret to a good iron shot is to squash the ball against the ground first, before scooping it up with the club face. In order to achieve that, the top of your iron grip needs to be in front of the ball as you are looking down at the point of contact.

MISTAKE: What most recreational golfers do is they hit the ball so that the grip is directly above the ball, or even behind the ball at impact, thus fumbling the shot and lacking the control they would have otherwise had.

CORRECT: Position yourself so that at the moment of impact with the ball, your hands and the grip of your iron about 3cm (1 inch) in front of the ball. This will assist you to achieve correct trajectory, will push the ball against the grass first, and then the iron will pick it up and throw it high up into the air.

Hope you enjoyed the first tip in the Golf Iron Swing Tips series!
