Rory McIlroy Iron Swing Face On

u/shortgamegolfer 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “My irons fly too high with too much spin, do I need more shaft lean at impact? This is a 7 iron”

Here’s a great 7i example of what everyone is saying here about shifting weight to the lead leg. Make sure the shoulders stay stacked above the hips while both rotate, and it’s not just the hips sliding over while the shoulders stay back (again while they both rotate). ▶ this video

Yeah you early extend a little and your head moves off the ball, but overall playable and not bad. Try to keep your head behind the ball while you drive your lead shoulder around you, your chin is currently glued to your lead shoulder. ▶ this video is a good example, his head actually moves back a little just before impact.
