One of the best feelings in golf is crushing a golf iron shot and watching it fly into the distance and hit your target. To do this, you need to know how to hit the ball then the turf with your irons. Your golf irons are designed to perform at their best when they hit shots like this, so it makes sense to play them this way. It’s the only way to strike pure irons and way the best players in the world have been doing it for decades. Try to do it any other way and you’re setting yourself up for disaster and years of frustration on the golf course.
