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 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

    • Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.
    • This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
    • Day 3: Worked on backswing. Feel: Matt Wolff, Real: Not yanking it inside and getting it laid off and flat at the top.
