Long Irons Tip by PGA Teaching Pro Ged Walters

When it comes to the longer irons in your golf bag, then a couple of key elements that must be present in your swing. Um, you must have the ball in the right area in your setup. You most continue to have the mindset that you're going to hit the ground in the correct spot, and you must have speed. If you don't have speed, you're going to struggle to launch these lower lofted irons.

So you've got to be fully committed and you've got to almost be a little out of control, not trying to steer it into, towards your target, but really feel like you're creating loads of power and trust that your setup is going to send the ball where you want it to go. So when we look at the setup position. If I was to take my setup up here through routine ball in the middle of the stance, I've got a four iron in my hands and I'm going to move one third of the stance of my left foot. I'm going to move the other two thirds with my right foot.
