IRONS POOR CONTACT WITH IRONS IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE
RESULT OF TRY- ING TO HIT THE BALL INSTEAD OF SWINGING THROUGH IT.
CHUNK FIX
GET BACK TO THE BALL WITH GOOD POSTURE When golfers dig behind the ball with their irons, they start standing taller at address as a quick fix. Unfortunately, a posture that’s too upright brings the feet closer to the ball, encouraging a steeper swing plane and even more fat shots. To get into good posture that lets you swing in balance and not crash the club down behind the ball, use this drill: Grab a club in your lead hand and stand tall with your knees slightly bent. Hinge at your hips and let your trail hand slide down the trail leg until it reaches the knee ( above ). Now take your grip; you’re in good address posture.
