Tour Pros & Compression

Your hands must stay ahead of the ball at impact, that’s what the Tour Pros are so good at. To practice this, take a 5 or 6 iron, feel like you are hitting a low punch shot and emphasize your hands being ahead of the clubhead at the bottom of each swing. Fact: you don’t have to hit “up” on the ball to get trajectory. Keeping your hands ahead at impact, compresses the ball, which creates spin, height and distance. At your next PGA Event, listen for the sound of their (Tour players) shots. . . now that is compression !
