Here are a few ideas for you to improve your ground contact in #golf. We all know how important it is
Just a small error here can render the shot useless, even if the swing looks perfect

The first step would be to get some feedback.
The simplest form would be a tee on the ground next to the ball, so you can check divot starting location (relative to where the ball was)

The more expensive, but my preferred option (especially when training indoors) would be the divot board

Alternatively, vertical strike location tells a lot.
Higher strikes on the face tend to signify fatter shots.
Lower strikes on the face are thin for the majority of players (for some really poor players they can still hit it fat and low on the face).
Check out Tigers iron!

Now you have your feedback, work on exploring.
Take the ball away and try to hit farther in front of the desired spot. Then farther behind.

Next step would then be to calibrate your desired strike using the feels generated in the exploratory phase.
Changing depth also changes ground contact location
Deeper = ground contact more back
Shallower = ground contact more forwards
