Want to compress your irons and create better ball-first contact? Your right elbow at impact might be telling you what’s going wrong. 👀⛳️ A lot of golfers try to force the right elbow down in the downswing—but if your pressure and body aren’t moving correctly first, there may not be enough room for the elbow to get into a strong impact position. Instead, pay attention to the sequence: → Shift pressure toward the target → Give the right elbow room to work in front of the body → Keep the upper body from taking over too early → Arrive at impact in a better position to compress the golf ball That pressure shift is a huge piece of creating a more consistent golf swing, low point, iron strike, and ball-first contact. You don’t need to manufacture the perfect impact position with your arms. Train the movement that helps your body arrive there naturally. And that’s exactly where the Ball First Board comes in. 👇 If you struggle with hanging back, inconsistent contact, or getting into the right position at impact, use the Ball First Board to train the pressure shift this video is teaching. It gives you a physical way to practice moving pressure forward so you can build a more repeatable pattern for ball-first contact and compressed iron shots. 👉Check out this link (or head over to our bio) https://improve.shotcraftgolf.com/products/bfb/lp2?utm_content=youtube-short-MaxCompressionElbow&utm_medium=social SAVE this golf tip for your next range session and send it to the golfer who keeps trying to “force” their impact position 👀 #GolfTips #GolfSwing #GolfInstruction #GolfDrills #IronSwing #IronTips #BallStriking #GolfImpact #GolfSwingTips #GolfTraining #GolfPractice #GolfCoach
