irons help

[scooterguitar]

So, found a set of irons I love the feel of, but my first round with them was horrible! The face kept opening up on me and it was pitiful slicing all day with no distance. My normal "good day" with irons are usually not greta distance, but not every other shot slicing. Likely due to me keep trying various grips (moving my right hand over to the left more) (when my old one was fine) and getting used to the new irons. My old and new irons are normal length and lie, but the new ones are much thinner (MX950) than my big hyrbids.

No thanks to my iron play, but did drop my hdcp down 6 pts. yesterday. Still need to get back to the low 90's to be happy though.

Lately I have been reading and reading all sorts of tips, I think it is hurting and confusing me more. I'm going to get ahold of the old scratch player who helped me with my game years ago and see if he'll work with me again. Might also take a real lesson just for irons as well.

One thing a decent player told me was that I tuck my right elbow. His meaning, I hit my woods really well and the swing is for that,b ut irons I need to "swing out" more and not be so tucked. Makes sense cause when I watch the TV, it looks like their swings are wider on the downswing, kinda out to in.

Any quick tips? Thanks

You will need to get use to your irons before you can play well with them, although it sounds like the shafts could possibly be too stiff for you.

Might want to have the lie checked.
