Golf questions.

So my game is coming around pretty fast after three years and I'm getting into that low 80's region, play and practice constantly but I have some questions.

I have found a way to play a reliable 250-285 yard fade with my driver, I feel like I drop my hands as low and flat as possible in the downswing with what feels like an "openish" stance and it is proving amazingly consistent. Oddly enough it doesn't work at all with the three wood, Why would that be?

And if I try anything to hit a draw or straight *less open stance* it completely breaks down with a pull or duck hook, not sure why that happens either.

Also a similar sort of lagging low hands has increased my pitching and wedge play drastically as it straightend out my divots and increased spin and ball flight especially from 90 yards in. But now I have to aim sort of left or open up left of the target because although the divots are straight the ball squirts right. Not sure why this happens either.

And lastly my irons 6-9 have completely left me, I have a nuetral grip, what feels like a slightly open stance *might not be* my divots with these clubs point straight at the target but the ball is is either fade/no spin and 10-20 yards right of the divots path and my intended target. I don't feel like I can get any flatter then I already am and I don't want a stronger grip.

I would appreciate any speculation as to what is going on. My irons use to be my strong suit but now they are the worst part of my game.

So you are saying you push the ball? You might be tilting/sliding instead of turning through impact. When I start doing that I try to focus on turning over my left leg, through and around to my target, instead of sliding.

Yea I guess it reads that way but I'm coming off of a two year sort of habit of pulling the ball left and it still always happens with my long irons and creeps into my driver and 3wood.

I guess thats what I'm saying my driver has a couple yards of pull with a slight fade and I'm fighting a similar ball flight with my irons causing a little push maybe but I think I want that sort of ball flight with a straighter ball flight or draw.

Maybe makes sense... My history thus far.
Started with closed stance/lined right with strong grip *over the top*= cool draw shot "pretty accurate but no spin" --> to closed/straight stance, nuetral grip, *over the top* pull fade also accurate some spin --> proper open/straight stance inside out swingplane works great for driver fade, high spin wedges when aligned left but totally screwed on 6-9 with a push to the right and almost no drawing ability when aligned straight.

I feel like I'm on the right track but I'm missing something.

Wow. I thought European History was hard to understand.

Seriously though, it sounds to me like you have a swing path that's too inside-out, and you are compensating by opening your stance. You've essentially flattened out your swing too much.

The different results with different clubs probably have to do with ball position in relation to your swing path.

I would regroup - align square to your target - and try to get the feeling of swinging more steeply for a while. You need to find that balance.
