The Simple Way To Strike Your Irons

By: Danny Maude | Duration: 00:08:54

Video Description

If you struggle to strike your irons consistently, hitting the ground before the golf ball is usually at the heart of the problem. One shot comes out fat, the next is thin, and occasionally you top it along the ground.

In this golf lesson, Danny Maude shows you the simple way to create ball-first contact, control the low point of your golf swing and strike your irons more consistently — without rebuilding your entire swing or spending hours on the range.

In this video, you’ll discover:

◼ The only contact rule you need to strike your irons consistently
◼ Why fat, thin and topped iron shots often come from the same mistake
◼ How your chest position and weight influence where the club touches the ground
◼ Why keeping your weight forward isn’t always enough to guarantee ball-first contact
◼ How a simple stone-skimming action helps prevent an early release
◼ The two checkpoints that make consistent iron striking much easier
◼ Where to position the golf ball for cleaner, more reliable contact

The goal is simple: strike the golf ball first, then allow the club to touch the ground beyond it.

But to do that consistently, you need to control two things: where your body is positioned relative to the ball and how your trail arm releases the golf club.

Danny explains how keeping your chest and weight forward helps move the bottom of your swing arc beyond the golf ball. He then shows you why many golfers still hit fat and thin shots because their trail arm straightens too early.

Using the feeling of skimming a stone across a pond, you’ll learn how to release the golf club around your body rather than throwing it directly down towards the ground.

This simple combination can help you:

◼ Stop hitting the ground before the golf ball
◼ Reduce fat and thin iron shots
◼ Create more consistent ball-first contact
◼ Improve your low-point control
◼ Strike wedges, mid-irons and long irons more reliably
