Typical Golf Iron Distances

What is the cause of repeatedly mishitting shots on the toe of the club in golf?

I have been golfing for 12 years and have played up to a 5 handicap. Since starting a new career, my playing time has decreased. I don't expect to be able to carry around a 5 or 6 handicap now but I would like to be able to strike the ball better again. I am having trouble hitting literally everything on the toe of the club, woods and irons. Nothing is struck solid. Obviously this is causing a loss of distance and accuracy. I don't get to the range much if ever but would appreciate any advice anyone could offer as to a common swing problem that causes this. My typical shot shape is a fade (not slice) with my driver and fairly straight with my irons (occasional fade, minimal draw at times). I am fairly long hitting driver around 285 yards on average when I am hitting it and average 7 iron is 175 yards. Please Help!

It's a tricky issue (and a frustrating problem). Generally speaking it's due to the club coming from the outside on the downswing (steep) and making a glancing blow to the ball. If the path of your downswing is the correct inside / square / inside motion you most likely won't hit it on the toe. It's also possible that you're standing up (losing your spine angle) during your downswing which can also make you hit it on the toe. Believe it or not, stiffness and inflexibility in your hamstrings can cause your body to resist retaining the angles you set at address and make you stand up a bit prior to impact.

My suggestions are to do some drills that address your downswing angle of attack and make sure you're hitting from the inside; as well as to start doing some hamstring and hip flexor stretches (you can find plenty on the net) - especially if your job involves sitting down for long periods of time. I think between these two you'll start to find the center of the face more often.

edit: Check your set up as well. Are you too far from the ball? Are your arms pretty much hanging straight down from your shoulder sockets or are you reaching for the ball?

Good luck!
