MY GOLF BLUEPRINT
Iron swing fundamentals
A reliable iron swing combines predictable contact, face delivery and balance. Treat those as separate observations before rebuilding the entire motion.
Work through it
- Choose a middle iron and a target corridor.
- Record strike location over ten shots at comfortable speed.
- Inspect low point on grass or with an appropriate mat feedback aid.
- Use shorter swings to isolate contact before returning to normal length.
A practical example
A golfer may strike the center consistently but miss left. That pattern calls for a face and aim check before a contact drill.
Practice task
Alternate five half-swings and five normal swings. Count centered strikes, then compare start lines. Keep the version that produces the smaller spread as your next practice baseline.
Common mistakes
Do not use one perfect shot as evidence of a fix. A divot's direction alone does not reveal the complete club path at impact.
Choose a comfortable movement and change one variable at a time. Stop if a movement causes pain; a qualified coach can adapt the task to your mobility and experience.
