Master the Three-Quarter Swing Like Nelly Korda

Katie Dahl breaks down the three-quarter swing. Learn how to take one extra club and use a one-piece takeaway and full body rotation to improve your ball striking and get closer to the pin.

Your Action Plan

What: Your goal is to learn and master the three-quarter swing to gain more accuracy and control in your iron play.

Why: The three-quarter swing provides more consistent contact and control than a full swing, leading to better results and improved accuracy on the course.

How:

  • Select the Right Club: Take one extra club than you would normally use for a specific distance.
  • One-Piece Takeaway: Start your swing by having your chest, arms, and club all turn back together.
  • Rotate with Your Body: Use a full rotation of your body back and through to power the swing.
  • Finish with a Pose: Finish your swing with a balanced pose, with your belt buckle pointing toward the target.
