Golf Iron Contact Point
Can't Hit Short Irons?
This may seem strange but I have no trouble hitting my 3, 4, 5, and 6 irons but 7, 8, 9 and pw I can't hit worth a darn. My golf instructor had me increase my irons an inch in length..this has helped and I can now make some contact with my short irons and hit my long irons even better but still I'm having problems. Question; at address, if you're using a pw, do you set up with the pw's club with the face up (with club straight and parallel to body) or do you angle the club at address so the face points toward the ball (like a 5 iron); where the club face faces the ball instead of facing upward? Any ideas? Thanks!
My long iron shots are typically straight, though a few shots hook but this is because my grip is usually too tight. I haven't yet had much instruction with my short irons, been working with mainly 6 and 7 irons that I've been comfortable hitting. As well, my irons had to be lengthened which helped considerably; probably why we haven't covered much yet on short irons.
Ok, i believe at address the whole 'face up face down' thing you keep talking about is called forward press. Yes on shorter shots there should be some forward press but not necessarily 'forcing' it as much as it just happens. What i mean is at address while using your lower irons, you should have the ball played more back toward your back foot while still 'dangling' your hands naturally which (as you can tell) will cause some forward press. What it seems like is happening, to me anyway, is that your having a timing problem or more specific a release problem. Since you are able to hit your longer irons better, i would venture to say that your are delaying your release. Tell you what when you check this answer, add a detail to the question and answer my question and i can tell you EXACTLY what is wrong with your swing.
Here is my question to you: Are the majority of your long iron ( 3, 4, 5, etc.) misses either Hooks and/or a high Push?
Answer that for me and I will tell you what is going on. And if it's not either one of those (but i'm gonna put money that it is) then please tell me where you do miss your long irons.

Boccieri Golf Heavy Iron Set $749.95 Boccieri Golf Heavy H-11 Iron Set Features The Heavy Irons were developed off the coat tails of last year's introduction of the Heavy Wedge. The Heavy Irons are designed to improve the player's overall consistency by providing him with better tempo and a more consistent plane back to the ball which improves overall sweet spot contact. The increased head weight is approximately 8 grams heavier than conventional clubs and is balanced in two ways. First, we install a 50 gram weight in the butt end of the shaft which raises the balance point about 3 inches. The second design feature is that we shorten each club from today's standards by ?" which brings the clubs back to the original length which all club manufacturers use to conform to. The benefit of shorter clubs with higher balance points is the golfer has better control of his swing including better tempo, smoother transition, more on plane, better sweet spot contact resulting in more consistency which translates into lower scores. Additional Features: Boccieri Golf Heavy Hybrids 3-Iron thru Pitching Wedge available Polished Mirror Finishe 17-4 Stainless Steel Head True Temper GS-95 Steel Shaft is Standard True Temper Dynamic Gold Steel Shaft is Optional Parallel Hosel BoreRegular or Stiff FlexRight Hand Only Specs: Boccieri Golf Heavy H-11 Iron Set Model Loft Lie Offset mm Bounce SS Material Backweight 3 21° 60° 4.26 1.5 17-4 50g 4 24° 60.5° 3.87 2 17-4 50g 5 27° 61° 3.49 2.5 17-4 50g 6 30° 61.5 ° 3.24 3 17-4 50g 7 34° 62° 2.98 4 17-4 50g 8 38° 62.5° 2.73 5 17-4 50g 9 42° 63° 2.6 6 17-4 50g PW 46° 63.5° 2.48 7 17-4 50g |
