The ball must be swept off the ground, shaving a very shallow divot.   Experiment by playing the ball in proximity to your lead heel.   Keep your hands in line with the ball or just slightly ahead of it.   Keep your head behind the ball at address.   Make a one piece takeaway keeping the clubhead low to the ground.  

With long irons, tee the ball up about a half an inch for use on long  par three golf  holes.
