Most golfers are trying to do something with their irons that actually makes ball striking harder.
The truth is, your iron club already has a built-in superpower — it is designed to get the ball airborne. Yet many golfers instinctively try to help the ball into the air by leaning back, flipping their wrists, and adding loft through impact. Unfortunately, that is exactly what leads to poor strikes, weak shots, and inconsistent distance.
In this video, I use a simple demonstration with a ping pong bat to show why this instinct makes sense, why it works with a flat surface, and why it causes so many problems with a golf club.
Once you understand what your irons are designed to do, you can stop fighting the club and start creating cleaner contact, better compression, and more consistent iron shots.
If you struggle with thin shots, fat shots, weak strikes, or inconsistent ball striking, this is a concept you need to understand.
