16. Three Ranges With Each Iron

While playing iron shots you have to be extremely careful in judging the distance and straightness of the shot required. You must also remember that you have a maximum, medium, and minimum range with cach Iron from the four iron down to the nine iron, particularly from the six iron down, and play each shot accordingly.

The reason it is important for you to realise the limitations of your irons is that if you took your frond back on the backswing as you do the driver, for instance, you would have too much away. In iron play the wrists aro broken much sooner on the backswing than they are when you are playing wood shots. This enables you to hit down and through the ball.

To accomplish this the weight is shifted to the left side faster on an iron shot than it is when you use a wood club.
