90% of golfers struggle to compress their irons properly — and it’s costing them distance, control and consistency.
In this video I’ll show you the two key movements most golfers are missing if they want to strike their irons with real compression.
The first is learning how to create a more neutral club path, which allows the club to approach the ball from a much better position. Once that is in place, the second step is learning how to shift pressure and move more towards the target, helping you control low point and deliver the club with forward shaft lean.
Get these two pieces in the correct order and you’ll start to see cleaner strike, better compression and more powerful iron shots almost immediately.
If you’ve ever struggled with:
Thin iron shots
Heavy strikes
Weak contact
Inconsistent distance
this lesson will help you understand what’s really missing in your iron swing and how to fix it with simple, practical drills.
