Take a look at Woody Austin. I drew a white line to show you his forward shaft lean at impact. The camera angle isn’t the greatest, but notice his hands ahead of the ball.

The biggest issue with most amateurs and beginner golfers is getting the proper impact position. I know I fought it and did it wrong for the first 15 years of my golf career. I always wondered why I hit my irons thin, and weak to the right. Don’t get me wrong…weak for my high expectations.

I’ve got to get you to understand where your hands, shaft and clubhead should be at impact. I can guarantee many of you don’t get there, even if you think you do. I was one of those golfers in denial. I hit my irons pretty far, but not solid or compressed. They sounded clunky and thin. Not the kind of sound you’d be proud of, and trust me… I wasn’t.

I want to give you a few simple tips (swing thoughts) that helped me finally get the impact I was dreaming of. They may work for you too, but at least you will have some different ideas of how to achieve a compressed, crisply hit iron shot.

Golf Tip #1 Lead with your hands all the way through impact. This may sound extreme, but I can assure you, you will never get the forward shaft lean any other way. You must, must have your hands ahead of the ball with ALL your irons, and even your hybrids.

Golf Tip #2 Pull the butt of the club toward the ball in your downswing. Again, this is similar to golf tip number one, but it specifically refers to the downswing, not necessarily through impact.

Golf Tip #3 Hold your right wrist angle as long as you possibly can. This will give you that forward lean of your shaft. If you release your right wrist angle, you will not only lose that forward lean and get a backwards (flippy) lean of the shaft. The later is much more common with mid to high handicap golfers.

Okay… this site is all about simple golf! The three above tips is plenty on your plate, but will give you a strong sense and feel for the proper impact position with the forward lean of your golf shaft.

Here’s a picture of Tiger Woods. It’s not the clearest picture, but I want you to notice a few things, and apply these golf tips to your iron golf swing next time you go out and hit balls. Do not try this on the course without doing it in practice first.

Tip #1 Your hands and butt of the club MUST be ahead of the golf ball at impact.

Tip#2 Forward shaft lean. This is where most beginner golfers mess it up. The get no shaft lean at impact, meaning they are throwing (flipping) the clubhead at the ball in a scooping fashion. This is death to the golf swing.

Tip #3 Move ball back in stance slightly with mid to short irons. Don’t be drastic with this, but many beginner golfers have the ball too far forward making it nearly impossible to keep your hands and butt of club ahead of the ball with an improper ball position.

Tip #4 Preset Impact Position. Before you hit every shot on the range with your wedges I want you to get into your impact position. Hands ahead of ball, hips rotated towards target. Get into this position, set it, then take your backswing and hit ball. I took a an overhead shot of what this preset impact should look like. I think it will be an eye-opener for you.

It may look like the ball is way back in my stance, but that is an illusion. In the proper impact position, you’ve rotated your hips, and put 90% of your weight on your left side, so a lot of motion and momentum is now ahead of the ball…ACCEPT…my head, upper body, and my spine tilt is still away from the target.

Also, look at the lines I’ve drawn. The thin white line is a square clubface at impact. Most beginner golfers have it wide open and that’s why they slice the golf ball. The solid white line is showing proper angle of the shaft from looking above. Notice the angle. The yellow line is where most amateur golfers are at impact. Straight which results in a flipping of the club at impact, adding loft, possibly causing a thin or bladed shot, and definitely a loss of distance.
