That&#8217;s it and this one simple thing can get you massive distance, compression and control!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one fault for most amateur golfers with iron play is a scoopy or cuppy left wrist.&nbsp; When you flip your left wrist, what you&#8217;re doing to the club is adding loft. The more loft you have on the club, the shorter it goes.&nbsp; So you may have a 5 iron in your hand, but if your wrist it cupped at impact, you&#8217;re hitting it with the same loft as your 8 iron.&nbsp; Every 3 degrees is one full club length.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get 3 degrees of positive shaft lean, you&#8217;ve basically got a different club in your hand now.&nbsp; You want to get your wrist into a flat position at impact because that&#8217;s what is going to de-loft the clubface.&nbsp; The ball has no idea what club you have in your hand. All the ball knows is what loft and speed it&#8217;s being hit with and then reacts. By getting your wrist in the right position, you can quickly turn your 8 iron into a 5 iron.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improper-shaft-lean-with-a-5-iron\">Improper Shaft Lean With A 5-Iron<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\" id=\"how-to-hit-a-5-iron\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-171214.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-171214.png?resize=800%2C466&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-iron de-lofted to an 8-iron\" class=\"wp-image-50566\" style=\"width:1022px;height:auto\" title=\"How To Hit A 5-Iron\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-171214.png?resize=1024%2C597&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-171214.png?resize=300%2C175&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-171214.png?resize=768%2C447&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-171214.png?resize=600%2C350&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-171214.png?w=1385&amp;ssl=1 1385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you think of it in terms of &#8220;true loft&#8221;, which is where the shaft is even with the ball at impact.  Just by getting that left wrist flat and in front of the ball, you&#8217;re going to pick up yardage!  Many armatures get the shaft behind the ball and that means your 5-iron is now more like an 8-iron.  Obviously your 8-iron has more loft which means your 5-iron that you&#8217;ve now turned into an 8-iron. It&#8217;s going to just go up with a lot of spin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having shaft lean and a flat left wrist at impact is critical.  So how do you get there?  The number one cause for scooping at impact is your right wrist.  It goes from a loaded position to an unloaded position.  This is because it&#8217;s your dominant hand if you&#8217;re right-handed.  Your &#8220;dominant&#8221; hand can cause you just about every single flaw in the golf swing if overused at the wrong time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-correct-shaft-lean-with-a-5-iron\">Correct Shaft Lean With A 5-Iron<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\" id=\"5-iron-impact-position\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?resize=800%2C548&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Flat Left Wrist At Impact With Shaft Lean\" class=\"wp-image-50567\" title=\"Flat left wrist with a 5-iron\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?resize=1024%2C702&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?resize=300%2C206&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?resize=768%2C526&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?resize=130%2C90&amp;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?resize=600%2C411&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-06-172416.png?w=1087&amp;ssl=1 1087w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You get down to impact and try to &#8220;help&#8221; it because you&#8217;re loaded up in a powerful position&#8230;..and then disaster.
