This is a very simple drill to help develop solid contact with your irons. In particular it will help identify the cause of iron shots struck in the heel of the club causing the dreaded shank. You will need a can of foot spray and spray a light coat on the face of your 9 iron. This will allow you to see where the ball is struck on the face of the club.

Weighted Ball Drill to Improve Body Motion
For this drill you will need a weighted exercise ball. The one pictured is 6 lbs. but use any ball weight that meets your physicality. The purpose of this drill is to develop proper body movement through the golf swing. You may toss the ball into a wall in which you will catch it when it comes back at you, into a net so you don't have to chase it after each throw or play catch with a partner.
Improve your Impact with this Simple Chipping Drill
In this drill we are breaking down the impact position to the bare minimum, the chip shot. Position two alignment rods in the shape of a triangle about one club length in front of your golf ball. Take a chip set up in which the feet are close together, the ball positioned in the back of the stance and the lead hand in front of the ball. Using a 9 iron, make a chip length backswing which will send the ball about 15-20 yards. The goal is to stop the club head from traveling through the triangle. To accomplish this the lead hand must be in control and do not allow the trail hand to take over. You will feel like the lead hand gets to the ball before the club head and the lead wrist will remain firm. If you do this, you will strike the ball first then take a small divot. Once you can accomplish this task, try to make the backswing slightly longer but still stop the club from going through the triangle. When you do it correctly you will really feel you are compressing the ball with a great impact position.
