How far should you hit your 7-iron? In this video, we break down eye-opening Arccos golf data to reveal why so many amateur golfers are hitting their iron shots short. If you struggle with inconsistent golf iron distance, a flicky forward impact, or scooping the golf ball, these 3 simple golf swing tips will fix your iron compression. We look at the data difference between a scratch golfer and a 25 handicap, fix your trail arm setup, fix your shoulder sway, and stop the excessive hip sway that is killing your golf swing speed. Watch until the end to learn the counterintuitive drill that will finally give you tour-style shaft lean!
