Henrik Stenson is regarded by his peers as one of the best ball-strikers on the PGA Tour. Especially his irons. So who better to learn from than the very best. Henrik explains via Golf Digest the three most important things to do to flush it every time!

EXTEND THROUGH THE STRIKE

The way I see it, you hit 18 approach shots every time you play. Except for putting, you do more of that than anything else. What’s your success rate? You probably catch a couple really solid, but I’d bet you’re pretty unsatisfied. With a few keys, I think you can hit more than half those approaches on or next to the green. That might give you another 10 good shots per round.

When you extend your arms, the same thing: You’re getting the most out of whatever club you’re using. Plus, you’re pushing the club down and through for a solid strike.
