The talk gets practical with drills, gear choices, and practice habits that produce penetrating flight and stable clubface control.• early wrist set to remove transition pressure• tripping the shaft to the 4:30 line• frozen right elbow and low‑left exit• delayed torso rotation to hold shaft flex• corkscrew backswing and free ride down drills• explosion into finish for faster left shoulder• under‑plane early, up to plane late concept• flatter lie angles and heavier heads for stability• practice minimalism: drills over buckets• biasing misses short‑right for scoring• ABS framework vs Hogan‑specific modules• student progress: mid‑ and long‑iron gainsRate, review and subscribe.
