Struggling with fat shots, thin contact, or irons that don’t fly their proper distance? In this lesson, Coach Ed Schwent breaks down the 5 biggest mistakes golfers make with their irons — and how to fix each one step by step. If you’ve ever tried to “lift” the ball into the air, swing harder with longer irons, or guessed at ball position, this video will open your eyes.

You’ll learn why finishing too high ruins your angle of attack, how tempo should stay consistent from wedge to long iron, and why both ball position and distance from the ball matter more than most golfers realize. Ed also explains how your hands are supposed to hinge (and why most players hinge them incorrectly), plus simple drills like the tee-in-front drill that instantly improve compression and turf contact.

Finally, you’ll see practical practice station ideas using alignment sticks, towels, or tees to give you instant feedback on path and impact. If you apply these fundamentals, you’ll start striking your irons cleaner, straighter, and more consistently than ever before.
