Hey gorgeous golfers! Your 7 iron is about to become your absolute bestie on the course! Whether you are just starting out or still working on finding your groove, these 3 tips are going to help you feel confident and consistent with one of the most versatile clubs in your bag. π―
In this video, Coach Shayain, a LPGA certified golf coach and sports professional, is going to walk you through how to:
1οΈβ£ Create the proper "Y" shape with your hands and club
This is foundational, ladies! When you set up, your arms and the club shaft should form a beautiful Y shape. This position sets you up for a clean, powerful strike every single time.
2οΈβ£ Nail the takeaway by bringing your hands to your pocket, not your rear
So many beginners make the mistake of swinging too far back or in the wrong direction. Think about bringing your hands toward your trail hip pocket. This keeps everything connected and on plane.
3οΈβ£ Square the clubface using Coach Shayain's "handshake to handshake" drill
This is a game changer! Imagine shaking hands at the start of your swing and again at the finish. This visual helps you keep that club face square through impact.
β¨ Bonus Tip: Shift your weight to your front foot to get that powerful, straight shot every time. Finish balanced on that lead side!
These tips are part of Coach Shayain's Beginner Women Golf Series. She is all about practical, no fluff lessons for women who are learning this beautiful game and that is why we love her! π
