Full Swing · Technique

Set up long irons with weight and handle forward

The instructor sets a pre-shot position before the swing starts. Play the ball at least a club width (or more) inside your lead heel, push about 60-40 of your weight onto your lead foot, move the handle forward, and set a small wedge/angle at address.
