Driver vs Iron
One of the biggest setup mistakes golfers make is trying to swing every club the same way.
With a driver, the ball is teed up and you want to catch it on the upswing. That means your trail shoulder sits slightly lower and your spine tilts away from the target.
With an iron, the goal is different. You want to strike the ball first, then the turf. Your upper body is more centered over the ball with much less spine tilt.
The club changes. The setup changes. The swing changes.
Master the setup first and solid contact becomes much easier.
