Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today I want to talk to you about how to hit your long irons a little bit more effectively. All too often when I see people hitting long irons they get in here it off yours go to try to lift up all of that in the air so they get your pick up they chop down or they back off and all of a sudden they get it all over the place. Remember on your long irons they are to be swung like your wedges.

Feel the tempo so you can move effectively and the best way that you can feel the tempo is to make sure that as you take it back the club stays lower to the ground. If you drag the club along the ground for the 1st 2 feet what you're going to to find is that it stops the arms from picking the club up it allows the shoulders to turn completing your backswing and then from there you're able to fire forward. So remember drag those long irons lower the ground with that wedge type of tempo you're going to hit long irons better in no time.
