Downward Blow

You hit your woods better than your irons and want to improve on your iron shots. You may even notice a divot that begins before contact with the ball instead of after the ball as it should be when using your irons.

High Finish

You try to finish high during your follow through and notice that you suffer from a flying left elbow, if you are right handed. This can cause you to hit the ball with the heel of the club, hit the ball thin, or see pushed shots because you are squaring the clubface with your body instead of your hands and arms.

Hinge Drill

You need to encourage a proper release of the clubhead at impact.

Target Net

You need to work on your consistency and trajectory with your iron shots.

Fly Far and Land Quick

You want to hit a slight draw with a 3 or a 5 iron off of the tee but you need the ball to stop quickly with limited roll.

Hard or Soft Swing

You need to decide between using two clubs. Your options are to hit a hard shorter iron or a soft longer iron.

The Compact Iron Shot

When you take a shortened swing with your irons, the ball flies weakly to the right.

Heeling and Blocking

Hitting off of the heel of the club with your woods. Pushing or slicing your irons due to a blocking action with your irons.

The Short Iron Punch

The wind is blowing into your face and you are about 100 yards from the pin.

Using a Tee on a Par Three

You are uncertain if you should be using a tee on a par-3.
