This page shows you how to practice golf irons for the How to Break 80 page of Golf Tips A2Z . Many of the things that you were practicing over two weeks with you driver you will continue with your irons. However, there are some key differences that can’t be overlooked and that should be focused on more than those areas you have already practiced.

So here is how to practice golf irons to break 80. Where there are differences from the driver practice they are noted by bolding the tip number.

• Number 1: Practice with a glove and establish the grip pressure you will use with your irons.

• Number 2: Practice aligning your hands in accordance with the markings and/or wording on your grip.

• Number 3: Practice setting up with and swing through with the hands the proper distance from your body.

• Number 4: Practice having a sturdy frame and base with the proper percentage of your starting weight on your back leg. With the driver, this percentage was 60 to 70 percent. With your irons this percentage will change depending on the club – starting at 40% with your lob wedge and increasing to 60% with your three-wood. Everything else falls neatly between those ranges.

• Number 5: Practice swinging within a sturdy frame where the back leg keeps the same flex in the backswing and the spin angle is maintained through impact.

• Number 6: Practice setting-up and swinging with connected and relaxed arms.

• Number 7: As you are swing the club back, make sure that you achieve wrist cock before you start your downswing.

• Number 8: Practice a descending to sweeping blow through the ball with your upper torso (shoulders and right ribs) rotating through the ball. Whether or not the strike is descending depends on the club. The lob wedge should be the most descending blow with at much as 80% of your weight transferred to the front leg on impact. Your 3-woods should be a sweeping blow with your weight about 50% on your front leg at impact. Everything else falls neatly between those ranges.

• Number 9: Practice releasing your wrist cocking as you swing through the ball.

• Number 10: This practice advice is completely new. When you are working with your irons make sure that you never and I mean never hit the same iron back to back. You want to hit a different iron every time you take practice your swing. This will teach you to feel the difference the weight and length of each club and to be able to adjust to each club. This is what you have to do on the real golf course. You do not get ten swing to grove your seven iron.

Practice the things above over the course of two weeks with about 5 practice sessions. Hit about 120 ball in each practice session. Focus on getting working the tips above into you swing.
