How to do it

  1. Turn a mid iron upside down and grip it just below the clubhead.

  2. Take your normal setup and make a full swing, listening carefully.

  3. Notice whether the swish happens near the top or out past the ball.

  4. Make the change of direction slower and unhurried until the swish moves forward.

  5. Do 3 sets of 10, then hit a few real swings keeping the same unhurried feel.

Goal

Move the fastest part of the swing from the top down to the ball, where it belongs.

Feel cue

Feel the swing stay quiet and light past the top, then the swish arrive out in front of your lead foot.

Mistake to avoid

Trying to make the swish louder rather than later — volume is not the point, and a loud early swish is exactly the rushed transition you are trying to lose.
