Need help with trajectory

[jjb333]

Lately I've been wondering if I'm hitting the ball too low. I would love to post a video, but don't really know how so I'll explain...

I would describe my attack of the ball as rather steep and would probably call myself a digger. With my PW-8 irons, I have no problem getting a perfectly high ball flight with excellent distance. From my 7 iron on, however, I have a more difficult time getting the ball up as high as I want. I'm playing a set of Tommy Armour 845 V31 Evo Cavity clubs whose club head shape changes slightly from 8 iron to 7 iron for some reason, probably not important but thought I'd mention.

More about my swing, swing speed is not a problem. My 9 Iron distance is a little over 150 yards. I'm worried I'm delofting the club too much at impact and therefore am basically hitting low punch shots with all clubs. Can anyone describe to me how my hands should act through the shot. I know they're supposed to release but perhaps I'm overdoing the "hooding" of the club.

My ball position is as follows, PW-8: middle, 7-5: 2 balls up, 4 and 3, 3 ball up. So, can anyone offer suggestions based on the information I've given or based on personal experience? I would like to start hitting 3 and 4 irons into greens without worrying about the ball having no chance of holding the green.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a low ball digger as well. This post is right up my alley. Without sounding too short winded, I'm not trying to change my swing. I just changed my equipment. Check my signature to see how I dealt with this problem. But to be honest, given the time and money to practice and take lessons, I'd try to improve my swing. For what it's worth, the 6 iron is where I start to have the problem in a usual matched set. And I'm not a long hitter at all. My 150 club is a 7 iron.
