Mid-iron swing compared to driver and stance
The swing for a mid-iron is similar to the driver but with a shorter shaft. Stand closer to the ball and adopt a slightly more open stance. Use at most a three-quarter swing, shorter than the drive. For shots over 180 yards, switch to a more powerful club for better control and consistent ball striking.
