hidesman16@sbcglobal.net asked:


I am trying to understand my golf swing a little better. I have a real problem with my long irons, I try to pick the ball off the fairway, and I am not really sure how to hit the ball creating a divot, like I see all the really good players do. Please help.

      you hit down thru the ball, striking the ball first and driving the club down into the ground, creating a divot.

      One of the things I’ve always told beginners, is to hit the small ball(golf ball) before the big ball (the earth).

      Unless you are a very powerful player you shouldn’t take much of a divot with a long iron. If you don’t hit your drives further than 220, you shouldn’t hit them at all and leave the 2,3, and 4 in the garage. If this is you, switch to two or three hybrids of various lofts.

      Long irons require precision. Miss-hit shots are usually disasters unless you have the power to carry through off-center hits.

      The important thing, though, is not to tighten up when hitting long irons. Stay loose and let your swing happen–ball first, then a modest divot.

      The key practice your swing especially for while and you will start making solid contact good luck.
      For your long irons is one of all his students work on clipping off the key practice routines legendary instructor harvey penicks little red book is to practice swinging clipping the divots should be after the tee out of all his students work on they should always be on harvey.

      The divot with every club you play.

      1) Hit the back of the ball on the downswing.

      2) Better yet: Buy some hybrids to replace your 3 & 4 irons. They are very easy to hit and you’ll not regret it.
