Here are the characteristics of solid iron play.
1.Posture. Stand with the feet pointing to the target, with knees flexed, back straight and the weight resting towards the heels.
2.Take the club back using a hand and arm swing, making sure the wrists are fully cocked.
3.Try to keep your body position as still as possible as your swing the club around your body.
4.You must make sure the left side of your body is cleared out of the way before you strike the ball. This will also enable you to generate lots of club head speed, and therefore hit the ball further.
5.Stay down as you hit through the shot and follow through keeping your arms straight. Seeing the ground after the ball has been played will stop you lifting your head too soon.
6.You have complete control over how much power you use in playing your irons in this way. Many top players play their shots well within their capabilities.

2.Keeping the right knee flexed as you make the back swing will ensure you only turn your hips 45%.
3.Make notes as to how far you typically hit the ball with each iron in your bag.
By following these simple golf tips you will be well on the way to becoming a better and more consistent iron player.
