That picture of the pros height chart was helpful,is a 90-95 yards sw shot ok for distance?

if my short irons scale Everest in height that would be ok for the clubs sw and say the 8 iron?.

Everest meh it's okay for a 6 iron kinda low for an 8 iron

Tried setting the golf club at address just off the right foot more so that its further back in my stance,I dont see much difference to be honest,maybe ballooning the ball is just my natural shot?,so I'm stuck with it?

Ballooning or just high trajectory? Ballooning starts low and rises up. Also, with out actual measurable data on how high you hit it, or video of your ball flight, there is no way to say if you are even hitting it too high. We are flying blind here.

Do you think it could be high trajectory?..I hit a sw 90 yards and a 6 iron around 150-160 yards,I just assumed my ball flight was just to high,it does go high,especially the short irons,am I just looking for more length whereas those yardages are my limit,I'm slightly confused...lol

@Christoby - We really can't help you out more at this point. You haven't posted a swing (here or in the member swing subforum), and you haven't provided any concrete data that shows how high you hit it. Generally, you want to be able to hit it pretty high. PGA Tour average is around 100 feet, but also the best players tend to be a bit above that. The conventional wisdom is that it's best to be high with longer clubs and be able to flight it lower with wedges and short irons. 

I would guess that you are not hitting it too high. But it's just a guess because you don't have videos or concrete data. 

That said, don't do this:

It's a band aid that will lead to bad habits.

Use a tripod, please. Slow mo, good camera angles. If not a tripod (they're like $20 for a decent one, good investment in your golf game and useful outside of golf, too), at least rest it on something wrist height.

I'm looking into it..
