Why You Hit Irons Well Off Mats but Fat on Grass
Mats can let the club skid or bounce into the ball after contacting the ground too early. Use this indoor feedback system to expose fat shots and build cleaner iron contact.

If you’re trying to break 90 in golf, here’s something I want you to understand before you make another swing: You don’t need to eliminate every bad golf shot to shoot in the 80s. You’re still going to chunk an iron. You’re going to hit a drive into the rough. You’re going to misjudge a…
Few things in golf are more frustrating than hitting a chunked shot. You make what feels like a good swing, but instead of crisp contact, the club slams into the turf behind the ball and the ball barely travels half the distance you expected. For some golfers, chunking happens only occasionally. For others, it becomes…
The term “one-piece takeaway” is one of the most commonly used phrases in golf instruction, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Many golfers think it means keeping the arms rigid, locking the wrists, or turning the shoulders as a single block. In reality, a true one-piece takeaway is about connection and sequence,…
The first move of the golf swing sets everything that follows. If the clubface rolls, the arms separate, or the club is pulled off plane in the first foot, the rest of the swing has to compensate. That is why so many golfers feel like they are constantly “fixing” things on the downswing when the…
When golfers check their grip, they usually look at how many knuckles they can see. What they often miss is the small but critical detail formed by the thumb and index finger on each hand, known as the “V.” This simple alignment line quietly reveals how the hands are rotated on the club and how…
One of the most confusing ball-flight patterns in golf is when a player slices the driver but hooks their irons, even though the swing feels the same. It often leads golfers to believe they have two different swings, when in reality the issue is usually how the clubface is being delivered, not the path. The…
Many golfers think they are gripping the club correctly, but in reality the handle is sitting too much in the palms. This small setup error quietly restricts wrist hinge, slows the club down, and makes it harder to control the clubface through impact. When the club sits in the fingers instead of the palm, the…
Most golfers think of the golf club grip as something that affects comfort, but its size has a direct influence on how the clubface rotates, how the wrists hinge, and how easily the ball can be squared at impact. A grip that is even slightly too big or too small can quietly change your release…
The way your hands connect on the club has a big influence on control, comfort, and how easily the clubface can square through impact. Yet many golfers choose a grip style simply because it is what they were first taught or what they see tour players using, without considering whether it actually fits their hand…
