i am pulling every iron i am hitting. my short game is saving me, but if i can dial in the irons it would really help my score. im hitting my drive straight as well as my woods and wedges. but im pulling all my irons. i usually hit a draw with my irons, but not like this. its just a wicked draw that usually ends up in a leftside bunker. what could i be doing wrong?

thanks

when you step up to the ball, do you think of slicing it?

I hate to slice so I think so bad of hitting it left that I close the clubface and twist my wrists on impact and It ends up wayyy left.

It could be mental too, don't think about pulling it.

no i dont think of slicing it at all. i have never sliced my irons. i have always had a slight draw on my irons. now sometimes i think of not shanking it. but not a lot. i might have the clupface closed. im not sure. i just know in the past month my small accurate draw has become an inaccurate hook.

ive been struggling with this as well. you may be gripping to firmly which is my problem. try to grip the club a little softer and see if that helps.

When I find myself pulling my irons, I focus on my hips and my swing tempo and rhythm. Usually I find that my hands are controlling too much of the shot and not letting the rest of my body work with it. If you are hitting your metals well, then I would suggest trying to imitate the tempo and rhythm of those swings on your irons and get a better feel for it. That's just me but maybe it will work for you too!

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
