I am currently having the tendency to hit the ball generally a groove low of the sweet spot on most of my irons, generally the shorter ones(PW-7) I feel like I'm putting a solid swing on them and I take divots on most all my shots and I still never quite make solid contact. This is really bugging me out on the course and I cant quite figure it out on my own. Any suggestions?

EDIT**

By the way even when I make thin or a groove low contact with the ball it has a high trajectory, it just comes up short.

Make sure you feel the weight transfer to the left side as your hips clear. On short irons, you might try hitting a few with your shoulders more level at set up. We get used to pounding drivers, but the iron swing really is still a decending blow.

before you hit your irons make sure that your arms are extended to the ground but don't allow your arms to become tense. another trick is to push down on the irons slightly brushing the grass on your initial move back and this will guarantee that you will come back to the ball solid and not hit it thin.

Also, make sure that your base is solid and you are not swaying away from the ball. another trick is to practice your short game because it is a mini full swing and the pitching drill will focus on making solid contact and not hit it thin.

    • I have a Titleist one that I use with my electric trolley. Fits perfectly on there and I don't care about the weight because I'm not carrying it or pushing it. I have room for everything I could need and when it's hot I have plenty of room for lots of water. 
    • Quick question for you. If you had Tiger Woods hit all of your full shots and you just did the chipping, putting and sand shots what do you think your handicap would be? 
    • So yesterday I happened to find myself in a Play-It-Again sports and they had that very Cobra Staff Bag for $150.00.  It looked to be in perfect or near-perfect condition. I immediately wondered if the guy I saw using it on Wednesday had hocked it at Play-It-Again. 😁
    • See you Saturday at Reserve Run.  I have to confess, even thought it's a long way out. I'm pretty excited about next year end of April. The tournament I play every year for the better part of 2 decades is moving to Paiute Golf Club in Las Vegas. We'll get to use The Wolf and Sun Mountain courses for our tournament and get to do the Horserace on The Snow Mountain Course. I'm already looking forward to it. 
    • OH MY GOSH!!! I feel your pain!  The Wednesday League I play in has done it that way forever. (So did the Monday Night league I tried for a couple of years.) I have no idea why. Makes me crazy! Especially since they have a modified local rule which was designed for exactly that purpose! Personally, I don't do it. It hasn't happened to me very much, only once that I can think of, but when it did I demanded to be given a two stroke penalty. They wouldn't give it to me. So, I went all the way back and replayed the shot with a one stroke penalty. The guys I found on the tee box thought I was an insane person... maybe I am.  But, Man, the rules are the rules and it's not even complicated or confusing.
