The real answer to “How do I pure my irons?”
One of the most common questions golfers ask is:
“How do I pure my irons?”
They’re usually expecting a tip about:
- Swing path
- Tempo
- Wrist angles
- Or some secret move at impact
But none of those are the real answer.
Here it is —
simply and honestly:
You pure your irons when your low point is in the right place.
That’s it.
When the club bottoms out after the ball:
The ball gets compressed
Contact feels solid
Distance becomes
predictable
Thin and fat shots disappear
When the low point is behind the ball:
You can’t pure it — no matter how good your swing looks
This is why two swings that look identical can produce totally different results.
It’s not about swinging “better.”
It’s about striking the ground in the right spot.
Once golfers understand this, something clicks.
They stop
chasing:
Perfect tempo
Extra lag
“Hitting down” thoughts
And start focusing on what actually matters.
That’s why low point control is the foundation of pure iron play — not a tip, not a drill, but a skill.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re so close to flushing it consistently, this is
usually what’s missing.
