Let your hands lead through impact, maintianing the angle of the shaft through impact. If you must exaggerate this, start with the shaft on an angle, hands ahead of the ball and swing through this way. Also keep the weight on the right instep through impact. I got these tips a while back and it improved my iron striking 10fold. I never hit a fat shot anymore. I've also helped my dad using this tip, worked for him, and even had some kid at the hack course ask me if I would give him lessons. LOL. He said he'd never hit iron shots that good before. It was a great feeling to give someone a tip and have it work.
Here's a quick drill you can do anywhere you can tear up a little grass. Grab a short iron and put a tee all the way down in the ground, this is your "ball" now put another tee in the ground a good middle finger length in front of it. Adress your "ball" tee, swing and take both tees out of the ground.
ok, ic. but what does the part about "keep the weight on the right instep through impact" mean?
Does it mean that at impact, I should have my weight on my right side and then have it naturally get transferred to my left side on the follow through?
