The Trailing Foot Shuffle for Better Iron Play

This is one of the more interesting tips I've found recently. It comes from Golf Magazine's Top100 Teacher Brian Manzella, and he says it will help you hit irons like Henrik Stenson.

I don't know about that... However I can see wherein it is able to assist you improve your footwork.

About that "pushing up at effect" bit... I recognize it's one way to increase your swing speed but the timing continually seems a bit intricate to me. If you want to try that, it is up to you. It's your exercise time!

However, I assume Brian's concept about lifting your trailing foot in short to begin your backswing ought to certainly help a number of you. Far too lots of you freeze over the ball -- it is splendid that pigeons don't roost on you all through your setup! But hand moves like waggles and ahead presses do not continually assist, either.

Moving your feet gets your whole body moving, and that can really help your swing rhythm. And note that Brian says you don't have to move your trailing foot much -- just high enough to slip a piece of paper under it. I don't know how well some of you would feel that, but you might try lifting your trailing heel just a bit above the ground, then "push it down" to start your backswing. That might also help you keep from swaying as much. You want a small weight shift, not a big one!

If you have got trouble with getting your backswing began, Brain Manzella's little shuffle just might assist you improve your footwork. It's honestly well worth a attempt.
