SwingVision - Briny Baird Iron
I found some SwingVision pics of Briny Baird hitting an iron off the tee. He doesn't possess the greatest of swings, but these images illustrate how irons should be swung with the club approaching the ball on a slightly descending path. Notice that the hands are ahead of the ball with a bowed and supinated left wrist at impact and that the club strikes the ground after impact with the ball. These are fundamental concepts for proper ball striking.

when I try to pronate the left wrist I often dig into the turf and the ball doesn't go anywere.

I don't think it is wise to try to pronate, I think pronating is something that comes about as a result of other correctly made moves in the swing.

This may very well be the finest capture of a clubhead at impact! Regarding Briny's left wrist: judging from the ripples of the water behind him, my guess is he was hitting a knockdown (i.e. trying to keep a lower trajectory) hence, the excessive pronation. To all you mid handicappers out there, don't try this at home

knockdown shot? Yeh, right. What every pro hits off the TEEBOX.... not.

Pronation is often confused with supination. Remember, the proper action is to supinate the left wrist through impact.
