Your Iron Strikes Fall Apart If You Miss This Setup Detail...

Newsletter #125: How To Strike Your Irons PURE Episode 1 (3-Part Series):

This is part one of a three-part series, and it’s all about something that wrecks iron strikes for loads of golfers, without them even realising it. Let me explain…

If you struggle with:

  • Fat shots

  • Thin strikes

  • Hitting ball and turf at the same time (or even worse, turf before ball 😳)

Then this is where you need to start…

Because if you don’t get your body moving across towards target on the way down, you’re making good iron strikes almost impossible.

What we’re trying to fix:

When I measure golfers during lessons, the difference is clear:

  • Hips staying back = poor strike ❌

  • Hips moving across = ball first, turf second ✅

That lateral movement into the ball is the goal.

Keep reading to see the key part most golfers miss, but before we get to that, this is how I’m getting longer day by day, even as I head into my 50s….

The Key:

You don’t fix this in the downswing; you fix it at setup.

The setup that makes “getting across” easier:

In the video above, I’ll show you how a few simple setup tidies make it far easier to move correctly on the way down.

We cover:

  • Why a slightly wider stance helps stop sway ✅

  • How proper foot flare creates resistance going back and freedom coming through ✅

  • And a really important hip checkpoint that stops you drifting away from the target ✅

This is the secret sauce for a lot of golfers, and it’s exactly why we’re starting this 3-part series here.
