I've been Playing Golf for: 5 years
My current handicap index or average score is: 4
My typical ball flight is: Highish draw, but pretty straight really
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Hate getting stuck and hooks


Videos: 

So sometimes i feel like i get stuck in my backswing, and to save it, i have to flip the hands, that cause a mean hook

I think im hitting a 9 iron there, wich went pretty straight

There are a few things im seeing, that i dont like. It seems like im doing a bit of reserve C or something ? And seems like my right elbow is flying a bit ?

But its just guessing on my part, since im not really sure what is getting me stuck
Sadly i dont have a film from behind yet. Ill film one, and upload asap

Yeah, the lower body/hips stuff is fine, but the head can't really get that far forward. Thing is, you say you hit it high now… but I'm not sure you know what high is if that's what you currently do. 😄

Do you have any launch monitor data? Any iron.

Dont have any data atm sorry 😞 Got a picture of a 8 iron, but its pretty blurred, so hard to tell what numbers are what
Im hopefully going back in the sim thursday. Then ill get a video from the side + numbers

Any iron data that makes more sense then others ?` 6 iron, 9 iron ? Or just whatever ?
And with hight i guess i mean in relative to the speed
If i look at the pga trackman tour averages my numbers are about the same with hight etc, compared to the speed. I swing my 7 iron around 93-94mph

The quality of the sim matters quite a bit as to how much we can believe the numbers.

Peak height, spin, vertical launch angle… etc.

Ball speed. Clubhead speed. So on.

Trackman 4 with those new balls for trackman

The trackman is pretty high quality i would say, with the mat etc
I think my carry numbers from trackman are pretty accurate to what i hit out on the course
Below is a not the greatest 8 iron struck

Those carry numbers are in meters
But like i wrote, its pretty blurry, so hard to see the numbers
Ballspeed 118, swingspeed 90 etc, but its not the greatest strike, 

I will get some better pictures of the data on thursday, maybe a day or 2 sooner, if i got time

Any irons that is better to get numbers from, then others ?

7-iron should be fine. Get as many numbers as you can, like an average perhaps, throwing out any outliers.

But off the top of my head:

  • Clubhead speed
  • Ball speed
  • AoA
  • Spin
  • Spin axis
  • Vertical and Horizontal launch
  • Peak height
  • Landing angle
  • Delivered loft
