Hitting explosive irons in the face right on the line all starts with getting your arms right on the swing.

You are cutting. Even if you call it a “push cut,” it's wrong. Goal: Iron shots fly from the clubface in the direction you want the ball to go.
What I've noticed over the years is that a lot of struggling metal players are overly concerned with body rotation. Body rotation is important but not at the expense of engaging your hands and arms. Ignoring these body parts is likely to lead to holding back too long after the impact. The great metal players free their hands and influence the band with approval.
To learn how they do it, grab any iron and set the ball with your feet close together. This small position will prevent you from using a lot of physical activity. Do your backswing and focus on moving only your arms as you swing through the ball and toward your end.
You've done it right if, after impact, your hands release the shaft more towards the ground than behind you (the classic grip position).
