The secret to striking a solid iron shot is compression. Compression is essentially pinching the ball between the clubface and the ground - it will promote better control and more distance.
For the setup, make sure the ball is not too far forward in the stance, it should be central (for a 7 iron). Throughout the swing, effort must be made in order to transfer the weight to the lead foot. From the top of the back swing the lead hip starts this motion, then the torso will follow finishing with full weight on the forward foot. The feel is very similar to throwing a ball over-arm.
