Day 58: a little bit of putting practice. Working on bead and making sure the hands are higher at set up. -

I too think a better driver usually has an edge in this situation. Mechanically, irons are shorter and need less leverage and hence a good driver who has good leverage control over the longer stick has an advantage in learning and controlling the shorter sticks. I think descending AOA for irons is more matter of ball position at address than mechanics difference. An inferior driver will also lose more shots to penalty areas and OOBs. Fewer GIRs with irons not as damaging, especially with reasonably competent short game. In short, driver is king in golf. -

Woof - fascinating question. So I think it’s a question of whether it’s easier to transition a good iron swing to the driver or a good driver swing to the irons. Speaking personally (which is really all I have to go on) I’ve typically throughout my life been a better iron player but my driving has improved massively lately with my iron play getting a bit worse. I think it’s probably easier to get your irons better if you’re a good driver than the other way but I’d say it’s pretty close. Took me years and a lot of work to get my driving better again. But I’m about 60% certain if that. I’d be very unsurprised if I’m wrong. I would obviously defer to people who’ve seen both and worked with both. I’ve heard both sides of it. Driver being longer means you have more time to fix stuff, but you have a smaller margin for error because more side spin to back spin with driver so it moves more if your impact conditions are off. Can also get away with more variance in club delivery with driver (since you have a tee) vs iron where ground impact is very destructive. I suspect at the end of the day the answer really is “it depends”. -
