For golfers of all levels, pure contact with the irons—the crisp, compressed strike that maximizes distance and control—is the holy grail. Unfortunately, most amateurs struggle with inconsistency, alternating between thin, fat, or off-center strikes that cost valuable strokes.
Our featured video, “The ONLY Way To Strike Your Irons Every Time”, reveals a single, foundational principle that professional golfers master. This is the simple, powerful secret that makes consistent iron striking not just possible, but SO EASY.
The Root of Iron Inconsistency
Inconsistent iron contact is almost always caused by a fundamental flaw in the impact position—specifically, an unstable low point in the swing arc. This usually happens when the golfer attempts to “lift” or “scoop” the ball, preventing the necessary descending blow.
The common amateur faults are:
- Hanging Back: The failure to transfer weight to the lead side, causing the low point of the swing arc to fall behind the ball.
- Early Release (Casting/Flipping): Manipulating the club with the hands, which destroys the club’s stability and prevents the hands from leading the clubface at impact.
The ONLY Way: Mastering the Forward Low Point
The single, universal secret to consistent iron striking is ensuring the low point of the swing arc occurs after the ball. This guarantees you hit the ball first, compressing it against the turf and generating maximum energy and backspin.
The SO EASY technique revealed in the video focuses on training this forward low point:
- The Weight Transfer (Anchor the Low Point): The method emphasizes aggressive weight shift and rotation onto the lead side through impact. This movement forces the hands ahead of the ball, ensuring the club approaches on a slight downward arc. Practicing stretching routines to improve your swing can help you achieve this rotation and stability.
- The Simple Drill: The video likely showcases a drill that provides immediate feedback, forcing the golfer to focus on hitting a spot of grass or a tee after the ball’s position. This simple physical cue instantly corrects the tendency to scoop.
- The Feel: The goal is to feel the shaft leaning forward at impact, a feeling that elite players rely on to deliver the club accurately and powerfully.
The Results: Instant Compression and Confidence
Mastering this fundamental ensures you Strike Your Irons Every Time with consistency. This isn’t about raw power (though a great strike generates huge distance); it’s about predictable results. The difference in carry distance between a well-struck iron and a thin shot can be massive, as illustrated by the numbers in the video.
By focusing on this core principle, you eliminate the mental tension that ruins performance and gain the confidence to attack the pin on every approach shot.
