I think one of the most satisfying skills as a golfer is getting a perfect iron strike. Now I’ve been playing this game for more years than I care to remember, but the feeling of still crunching a really nice iron off the club face is still a feeling I enjoy having to this day. And it happens for a couple of reasons, a really good iron strike, is the ball hitting the sweet spot of the golf club, and depending on the make, manufacture, and type of golf clubs that you have, they all have a sweet spot, some are larger than others, but its around about the size of a thumb print, if your put your thumb right in the middle the club face that's about the size of the sweet spot on the club face, and if the ball hits that it should start to feel quite nice at the point of impact.

Around that area the feed back that you get through the golf club, the vibrations through the shaft, aren’t always quite so nice, and around the very edge of the golf club the vibrations of the feed back is usually pretty poor. Now the other element that can give us a pretty good strike is how we actually hit the golf ball and then we hit the turf, because if you’ve hit the turf, first, then you strike the ball right from the sweet spot, the ball still won’t go very well. The problem there is that you’ve got the club slowing down into the turf, before you hit the golf ball so it’s effectively a fat shot.

And also hitting the ball high upon the club face that’s going to hit low down, sorry hitting the ball high up on the ball, hits low down on the club face that makes it a very low shot that is going to be cast as the thin shot, so the perfect iron strike is the ball that strikes nicely after the center of the club with the feeling of ball and turf contact, and as a more proficient golfer the second you make contact with that golf ball, you'll know whether you’ve struck it well, so I'm going to turn around and go ahead and hit one because like I said right at the start I do still enjoy hitting some iron shots.

So hopefully I'm going to hit a nice one here, and I'm going to enjoy hitting this, I'm going to try and take ball and turf, and make good contact with the middle of the club. There she goes, lovely shot, you could see the divot there, maybe you picked it up on the microphone, the sound of the contact as well, the ball was here little bit it turf afterwards, that shows how the club was coming down as we hit the middle of the golf ball, middle of the club, ball flies off really nicely, an instance feed back you almost don’t need to look up, and you know that you’ve struck a good one, work on your golf ball impact position with your irons, get better iron strikes and you'll enjoy hitting the golf shots too.
