I was hoping to get some help since my pro doesn't return for the season until next month. I am a new golfer and it seems like I've always struggled with the different angle of attack for an iron in comparison to a wood. This year I've gotten to the point where I only use my irons, typically teeing off with a 3 or 4 iron, due to a lack of confidence in my 5 wood. Please note (I don't yet own a driver or 3 wood. This is based upon recommendations from others.) I actually haven't played bad this year but I obviously don't have the distance that I really need.
As I understand, please correct me if I'm wrong, one should hit down and through when using an iron. While with a wood, the path is more horizantal (swing image: striking a nail into the back of the ball). Finally I also understand that the angle of attack would be from below (upwards) when utiling a wood to hit a ball on a tee.
