 Iron
Game Tip
A very important factor in striking the ball solidly
and consistently with your irons is getting the "bottom" of your
swing in front of the ball (i.e., the lowest spot in the swing's arc
on the target side of the ball -- see picture ).
This promotes contacting the ball before the ground (this
is a good idea).
You can develop a feel for this by scratching a line
on the ground with a tee, or making a row of tees spaced about 6
inches apart, perpendicular to your target line. Straddle the line
and take divots until you consistently make the divots in front of
(toward the target from) the line, or row of tees. You can certainly
hit balls this way too -- with the balls on the line or between each
of the tees.
Once you can do this you'll hit your iron shots much
more solidly and with more control.
P.S. This is fun, but do it on
somebody else's property.
