Ok didn't see that video until after I replied. So yea I'm pretty sure I'm flipping now with that explanation. So does most of the power come from my back and lower body?

What is flipping? And when you say don't hinge your wrist you mean don't bend them? I feel like I'm using my arms to much almost like I'm swinging a bat. My wrist are also very active I've noticed. I played with this tall wiry kid the other day and while he lacked him his mid game he crushed his driver, he also went back really far with his swing. I don't go back very far because I feel like I loose control of the head of the club. I'm about to pay for a couple lessons. Also I'm looking at the Titleist ap1 irons or the RBZ irons, any other suggestions and are these good for intermediate players? Some of the game improvement irons like the RBZ are more weighted underneath the head to allow more lift apparently so I'm not sure thats a good thing for me.

I have an idea why I'm hitting so short with not only my irons but also my driver. First I seem to get under the ball so much, that it pops the ball up, and puts a good amount of back spin on the ball. I can hit a 4-5 iron and hit it as high as someone would hit a 7. My hybrid and driver are the same. I have tried to tee the ball lower causing me to swing down on it, which causes more problems. I hit the ball straight with my irons but I have developed a slice with my driver unless I hit with a gentle fluid swing in which case the ball goes nowhere. Any Idea why I'm popping everything up? Right now I'm playing bogie golf because I can't get any distance in my mid game so any help would be appreciated. btw I use R-7 irons and a Titleist 910 D2 12 degree driver.
