Top Five Tips For Playing Irons Into Greens

 Improving your iron play is one of the best ways to lower your scores. The golf swing has been refined over the years. Blending elements from all of these swings, I am able to produce distance, control and spin. I'm going to give you 5 easy to follow tips for improving you golf game so you can start dropping strokes from your scorecard.

How to Hit Better Irons Shots

When it comes to distance, there's no doubt about it — the driver is your best friend. But when you get inside 100 yards or so, the irons are where you can really make a difference in your game.

The challenge with iron shots is that they're much more difficult to hit than drivers or fairway woods. You have less time to see and react to the ball, and the trajectory is lower and less predictable. The result: You only have one chance to get it right.

So how do you do it? Here are some tips:

1. Be patient

It's tempting when you're hitting shorter shots to want to rush them. But just like in golf, patience pays off here as well. Take your time lining up your shot, then pick a target and focus on that spot. Don't worry about how far away it is — just think about what kind of shot you want to hit and practice hitting that type of shot over and over again until it becomes second nature.

2. Stay away from the inclination to swing for distance. While it's a good idea to drive your tee shot with 100% of your power, attempting to hit it as far down the fairway as could be expected, that is not ordinarily the target with your fairway irons. It would be ideal for you to swing serenely and easily at around 75% power. Your fundamental goal ought to be to keep separation in control. Whether you're going for the green or leaving space for a chip, plan to nail the exact distance you need with each iron shot.

3. Know your commonplace yardage with each iron. This follows from Tip #2. You ought to have a smart thought about how far you typically hit the ball with each numbered iron. Decide this by investing energy in the training range with your irons, watching where the balls fall comparable to the yardage markers. Joining this information with the ability to assess yardages on the course will let you know which iron to use for every single shot.

4. Get comfortable with a decent iron shot. On the training range, stand by listening to the sound as the club face strikes the ball. You'll get comfortable with a decent shot (when you hit the ball with the perfect balance) and the hints of various sorts of terrible iron shots. After you obtain that commonality, intentionally attempt to imitate the great iron shot sound when you are making your iron efforts.

5. Know where the perfect balance is on your club face. This follows from Tip #4. While the perfect balance differs as indicated by the specific plan of each iron set. While you're swinging, picture hitting the ball with the perfect balance.

Hitting great iron shots requires bunches of bins of balls on the training range alongside extraordinary fixation on the course. In any case, on the off chance that you can work on your iron shots, it will unquestionably fundamentally affect your scores.

How to Hit Solid Iron Shots

The key to hitting solid iron shots is to make sure that you're staying down on the ball.

If you're not hitting the ball on a good line, then it's going to be very difficult to get the iron shot close to the hole.

The first thing that you want to do is get your body weight behind the ball. You want to hit down on it and use your legs as well as your arms when you swing.

You also want to make sure that you're taking divots with your irons, so that you can see where the grass is being torn up by your club head. This will help you determine where your ball is going to land and how much it will travel after it lands.

Another thing that helps with this is knowing how far away from the golf ball that your club face should be at impact. For example, if you have a short iron in your hands, then your club face should be about 1 inch away from the golf ball at impact and about 2 inches away from the golf ball at address (or further back if possible).

Iron Shots, Understanding the Basics

Iron shots are a little different than other shots, but they're easy to learn and fun to play. Here's how to get started on your first few games of iron shots:

Iron shots is a simple game that can be played by two or more people. It's similar to horseshoes, but there are no stakes and the object of the game is to get as many points as possible without hitting the pole. The winner is the person who gets closest to the pole without hitting it.

To begin an iron shot game, each player needs one shot in their hand. You can use any type of shot for this game — golf balls, bottle caps, etc.

Once all players are ready, whoever is closest to the pole starts first by throwing their shot at the ground around 15 feet away from it (the distance varies depending on how many players are playing). If they hit either side of the pole or hit it directly on top while throwing their shot, they are out of the round and cannot throw another one until everyone else has had their turn.

Iron Shots, The Moment of Truth

The shot put is one of the oldest field events in the Olympics. It originated as a method of testing a warrior's strength and power and as a way to train soldiers. It was also used as part of military training to build up strength and endurance.

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has set rules for all track and field events and the shot put is no different. The rules state that the athlete must throw the shot over his head without moving forward with his feet or elbows. The athlete may use an implement that weighs 7.26 pounds (3 kilograms).

There are three main throws in shot put: standing throw, running throw and walk-out throw.

Standing Throw

A standing throw involves throwing the shot from a stationary position without taking any steps toward it or away from it. Your back foot must remain on its spot throughout the entire process of throwing, including when putting down your implement after receiving it from the judge for inspection before competition begins.

Creating Variety in Your Iron Game

If you're an iron player, you've probably noticed that the same old routine can get stale pretty quickly. But there are ways to keep your workouts fresh and exciting. Here are some of my favorite ways to do so:

Change up your grip. One of the easiest ways to add variety is by changing your grip on each set or every few sets. You'll be surprised at how much your forearms will burn when you switch from a traditional pronated grip to a hammer grip (where the palms face away from you) on the barbell rows or lat pulldowns.

Try different angles. If you're a fan of incline presses, try doing them with dumbbells instead of a barbell, or try doing flat bench flyes instead of regular presses. Similarly, if you love doing one-arm dumbbell rows, grab two dumbbells instead of just one and see if that makes things more challenging!

Use bands and chains. Bands and chains can be used as either an accessory exercise or as part of your main lift; they're great for adding intensity without having to increase weight loads too quickly!

Iron Shots, Taking It to the Course

Golf is a game of precision and patience. It's also one of the few sports where you can actually get better with age (if you're willing to put in the time).

The average golfer hits between 100 and 150 shots per round, so it's important to have a great set of clubs to keep your game sharp. But that doesn't mean that you need to spend thousands of dollars on a new set of irons.

If your current set is getting old or losing its edge, here are some tips for finding the right new clubs:

Test before you buy: Before making any decisions about what clubs you want, take them out for a test drive at the golf course or driving range. You'll be able to see how they work together with your swing and get an idea of how much distance each club will provide.

Buy from a reputable retailer: Look for reputable retailers that sell quality equipment as opposed to big box stores like Walmart or Target which sell cheap knock-offs. The last thing you want is to buy substandard equipment that breaks after just a few rounds or months on the course.
