Mastering long irons can transform your game, especially on par 5s and lengthy par 3s and 4s. These clubs demand precision and a bit more technique compared to their shorter counterparts. By adjusting your stance, you can achieve cleaner, more effective strikes.
Positioning the ball slightly forward in your stance and shifting a bit more weight onto your front leg can make a world of difference. This setup helps you maintain a shallower swing path and reduces the risk of chunking the ball.
Additionally, the correct weight distribution enhances your shoulder and hip turn, essential for generating the speed needed to launch the ball with a long iron.
