Control Your Eye-Line for a Better Turn and Improved Contact
Many golfers struggle with distance control with their long irons, resulting in inconsistent shots. However, there is a simple technique that can help you improve your distance control and accuracy: focusing on your eye-line.
By maintaining a consistent eye-line throughout your swing, you can ensure that your clubhead is traveling on the correct path and making solid contact with the ball. This will lead to more consistent shots and better distance control.
Here are a few simple steps to help you control your eye-line:
At address, focus on a spot on the ground about 6 inches in front of the ball.
Keep your head still and your eyes focused on this spot as you start your backswing.
As you transition into the downswing, continue to keep your eyes focused on the spot on the ground.
Only look up at the ball at the moment of impact.
By following these steps, you can improve your distance control and accuracy with your long irons.
