Which Iron to Use
When you are using an iron there are different considerations based on how you
need to hit the ball. There are three irons you should understand which include
the short iron, mid-iron, and the long iron.
When you use a short iron the ball will be in the middle of the stance and the
club will be slightly behind it. The right ball position is smack dab in the middle
of your stance.
The apex of your swing should be a couple balls forward. This means that you
will hit the ball at a steep angle, producing a big divot. Your feet will be closer to
the ball than they will be when you use a long iron.
The mid sized iron is used slightly different. The ball will not be right in the
middle of your stance but it will be slightly forward. The longer the iron is the
more forward the ball will need to be. You will still hit the ball with a hard blow
but not as steep as you need with the short iron. The divot will also not be as
deep either.
When you use a long iron the ball will be furthest from you. You want to hit the
ball in a sweeping motion rather than hitting down on the ball. The best way to
hit the ball is right at the apex of your swing arc.
There is not need to force the ball up by hitting the ball on the upswing. The
ball will automatically become airborne because of the angle of the attack of the
way you hit the golf ball.
