The fundamentals of the downward strike
One of the true fundamentals of hitting good irons shots and chipping is that the clubhead must be going downwards when it strikes the ball. It’s the club's loft and ball spin that makes the ball go in the air, not the clubhead lifting the ball into the air with an upward strike.

Quite often when I talk to players about this they either don’t know that the clubhead should be going down or they do know, but don’t know how it happens. I wanted to explain the basic principle of a downward strike.

As the club swings at the golf ball to the impact position whenever the clubhead is trailing or behind your hands, it will be going downwards. As soon as the clubhead passes your hands it begins to go upwards. This is a basic idea but so important.

As a result your setup and general thought process should be about keeping your hands in front of the clubhead and keeping the shaft of the club leaning forward as you strike the shot. 		 

You can see above a great setup position for a chip shot. This is mimicking the proper impact position for the hands and clubhead. See how the shaft is leaning towards the target or to his left. This is ensuring a downward strike and great contact. Your ball position and stance will be different for a full shot, but the hands will still be in front of the ball slightly making the shaft lean properly.

Practising these tips will improve your contact and shot patterns pretty much guaranteed. If it doesn’t or you want to learn more come and see me.

 
The ladies are hitting better shots - You can too!
I worked on the above tip during my Ladies Golf Improvement Session on Monday morning and the results were amazing.

I gave the ladies a great little exercise to really get the feel of improving their impact position and their shots instantly improved. They hit more shots out of the middle, gained distance and the shots even sounded different.

They had grins from ear to ear by the end of the session. Such a simple idea with amazing results, just the way I like it :) Don’t miss out next time or come and see me to learn in private!
