The article from MSN discusses the differences in technique when swinging a driver versus irons in golf. It explains that while many golfers might use a similar swing for both clubs, there are key differences due to the design and purpose of each club. For drivers, the goal is to maximize distance, which often involves a sweeping motion to promote a higher launch angle and less spin. Conversely, irons are designed for precision and control, requiring a steeper angle of attack to ensure the ball is struck with a descending blow, promoting better contact and spin for stopping power on the greens. The article highlights that swinging irons like a driver can lead to poor contact, reduced control, and inconsistent shots. It advises golfers to adjust their swing mechanics, stance, and ball position to better suit each club's intended use, thereby improving overall performance on the course.
