will make your iron shots 60
off the line. This is because the
iron hit is always a more pre-
else matter than the blow with
the wood club, since the iron is
used not only for distance but
for extreme accuracy. The ball
off the wood can fall anywhere
on the fairgreen but the iron
shot must hit a particular tar
get. So not as much weight
shifting. Keep everything more
compact-arms still closer to the
body and your position a little
closer to the ball, and so on.
