In this video, you’ll learn how to hit straight iron shots with the “Flat Hand” drill.
First, I have some great news…
Top Speed Golf has a new expert instructor!!!
So please give a warm welcome to TSG’s brand new Director of Instruction, Robin Rosado.
Robin’s a great golfer.
He earned a scholarship to play at the University of South Carolina and went on to play some of the mini tours.
Oh, and he can really crush his drives.
We measured one of his drives at 345 yards!
But he’s not only a great golfer; he’s also one heck of an instructor.
He has put in a lot of hard work and a lot of hours with his students – over 1400 hours of lessons last year alone!
In this video, Robin will show you how to hit your irons on a frozen rope.
Enjoy the lesson and have fun on the course!

Now to this video…
You’ll learn a great clubface awareness drill called the “Flat Hand” drill, and it’ll help you hit dead straight iron shots.
First, place your open right hand on the club so that it’s parallel with your clubface.
This will help you keep your club on plane and will also ensure that your clubface doesn’t stray off.
Practice slow swings and stop at checkpoints throughout the swing.
The checkpoints include…
- The takeaway as the club is parallel with the ground
- At the top of your swing to see if you’re on plane
- In the downswing to make sure you shallow the club path (and NOT come in over-the-top)
- At impact. Your right open palm should “cover the ball” and be pointing toward the target, indicating that your clubface is square
Overall, use these steps to track your club path and clubface throughout your swing.
With better clubface awareness, you’ll be able to hit consistent iron shots right at your target!
