Struggling to hit your irons cleanly and consistently? PGA Golf Coach Georgia Ball breaks down the most common mistakes amateur golfers make with their irons and, more importantly, exactly how to put them right.
Georgia Ball works through the three key areas that lead to pure iron contact: correct ball position and setup, a body rotation drill for the backswing, and a weight transfer drill for the downswing. The video is packed with practical drills you can take straight to the range, making it ideal for golfers who regularly suffer from fat or thin strikes. If your iron play feels unpredictable, this is a good place to start.
At Pins & Aces, golf is more than just a game; it’s a lifestyle and a passion. We’re here to provide you with the best in golf gear.
Key Takeaways Get your setup right first:
Ball position just left of centre, sternum over the ball, and hands pressed slightly forward will put you in the best possible position before the swing even starts.
Rotate, don’t sway:
Using an alignment stick across your shoulders to feel your body rotate while keeping your sternum centred is Georgia’s go-to drill for building a consistent, powerful backswing.
Shift your weight on the way down:
Starting the downswing by driving your hips towards the target — rather than sliding or falling back — is what creates a downward strike and ball-then-turf contact.
Take these three checkpoints to the range: set up correctly, work through the rotation drill, then focus on feeling that hip shift at the start of your downswing. This video suits golfers of any level who are frustrated by inconsistent iron strikes and want a clear, structured way to fix them.
