Golf iron instruction is different from other clubs in the sense that the impact from an iron should be on the downstroke. As opposed to that on the upward swing for the driver.
The positioning of the ball can vary depending on the teacher and student, but golf iron instruction will usually include some sort of reasoning between the shot to be hit, and the ball’s position relative to the feet. Like that in pitching and chipping.
Irons are struck differently depending on their loft as well as the shot desired. Generally, the ball should be moved back in the stance as the loft of the club increases. ie;(for longer irons, position golfball opposite the inside of the lead heel. As you progress to higher lofted irons, move the ball position closer to the centre of your stance).
