Episode notes
Irons Focus On Ground And Face
- Irons prioritize three main variables: ground contact, face contact, and face direction.
- Face direction is less sensitive in irons than drivers, so feedback is clearer.
Set Acceptable Face-Contact Targets
- Aim for tight vertical face contact: pros stay within ~4 mm of center.
- Accept wider margins for higher handicaps but aim to keep within ~10 mm.
Fix High-Left Misses With Release And Weight
- If shots go high and left, practice a later release and more forward weight shift.
- Also vary the ball position and practice directional feel to find what neutralizes the miss.
