Compress Your Irons: A 2-Ball Drill to Improve Your Swing

Want to hit more solid iron shots? Compressing your irons is key. One simple drill that can help you is the two-ball drill.

Place two balls on the ground, shoulder-width apart. Swing your club as if hitting the normal ball covered by dirt. Contact the top ball first, then continue your swing through to the second ball. The aim is to hit the top ball first with a descending blow, compressing it into the ground, then strike the second ball cleanly.

This drill forces you to hit down on the ball with a steeper angle of attack, promoting a more consistent and powerful strike. With regular practice, you’ll improve your iron compression and start hitting more greens.
