Train the Halfway Back Position for Better Irons
If you want to start hitting cleaner, crisper iron shots, it starts with getting the club in the right position halfway back—and training from there.
In this drill, Ralph rehearses the club at the halfway-back checkpoint, making sure it’s on plane, in sync with the body, and ready for a powerful transition. Once he’s there, he simply completes the swing and lets the club go.
