Hit Your Long Irons Like The Pros
Long iron shots can be some of the most difficult shots in golf. Many golfers like you and I struggle with this part of our game for one simple reason: we try to hit the ball too hard! Unfortunately, golfers lose sight of what they are trying to accomplish when long iron clubs are needed. We squeeze the grip and swing as hard as we can, resulting in a poor shot. But what happens when we do this is our swing does not flow correctly; we swing too hard and our head comes up too early. If we look at how the professionals use long irons we notice that it is the same swing as with all other irons! Why is this? Because the professionals let the club do the job it is supposed to do. Professionals know the importance of technique and swing mechanics and use them to their advantage. If you want to hit your long irons like the pros, treat long iron shots as you would any other iron shot! Grip the club with relaxed hands, have an easy flowing swing, and keep your head down throughout the entire swing. These simple and practical tools will help anyone improve their long iron shots.
