Hello Golfer
Sometime ago, I wrote a short article on how to simplify one of the most intimidating shots in golf. There are still many more tips for these clubs. Today I will write on how to keep the clubface on line and flight control.
Turn Around Your Chest
If your upper body and arms can rotate in harmony, you will return the clubface square to the target at impact. What you need to do is to concentrate on keeping your chest fixed over the ball throughout the shot. If you can turn your shoulders around a fixed point (your chest), you will eliminate lateral body movement and keep the clubface on line. Before you hit for real though, please practise swinging your arms through impact and feel your upper and lower body working together.
Flight Control
One of the best ways to control the flight of your long irons is to punch the ball especially if you are playing in windy conditions. For this shot, move the ball towards the middle of your stance. Through impact your weight will be ahead of the ball, taking loft off the clubface and producing a piercing, low flight. The only change you need to make to your swing is to restrict your follow-through. Now, by preventing your hands from releasing into a full finish position, you can stop the ball from climbing into the wind.
Happy Golfing

P.S. - Get a good golf instructor and read good golf books. You can't teach yourself golf. Read and practice what you have read under your tutor.Knowledge is power
