Fix Weak Iron Shots To The Right With One Tweak…
I will give you three guesses as to why you continue to hit your iron shots weak, and the first two don’t count. The face is OPEN at impact. Over and done with. Now the 10 million dollar question is WHY is open???
Now, there are 15 reasons why the face might return open but I am going to give you the most common reason why. Well there are really two reasons why but they work hand in hand.
The face is open and the path is from OUT-TO-IN. The combination is the thing that is the killer. It would be one thing to just leave the face open but no, you have to go ahead and swing from out to in and that imparts even more left to right (side/backspin) on the ball.
Now let’s fix it. The first thing you have to do is make sure your shoulders are square to feet line. If your shoulders are aimed to the left the club is going to swing OUT-TO-IN. The second thing you have to do after you square your shoulders is to make sure you can see two or three knuckles of the left hand.
The reason you have to see two or three knuckles of the left hand is to make sure the club face closes BEFORE impact. If the club face is closing in the downswing you will begin to see shots that fly straigh with power and not weak to the right.
