I just got done playing 9 today and I'm very unhappy with the results. (I had 21 putts, but that's another story.) What I'm most unhappy about is that I push+fade most of my irons. Yesterday, it happened once every 5-6 holes or so, which I'm completely fine with. But today, it was on every iron shot. I can't figure out what's the difference between today and yesterday in terms of my release. I was coming a little bit inside on my takeaway and slightly over the top on my downswing for most of the round today, but I was not releasing. I also hit my driver and 3 wood off the tee very well today (straight to slight draw). Why are my irons so different?

Any one have the same problem or know how to fix it? Thanks.

Just a thought...... but make sure you are not to steep with the irons. It could be the reason that the driver is OK because it is a flatter swing.

Try a more rounded swing with like a 6 iron and see if it starts to draw a little.

Also inside to out downswing will help to turn the ball over.


Good Luck!

Remember that if the ball curves to the right relative to the path that it was swung on.....the club face was open.

Example: an over the top move out to in with the face closed you will get a pull hook. With the face square just a pull, and with the face open a pull slice!

Ball flight is essential. Which way the ball starts tell you where you swung and where the ball stops is where your clubface was aimed.

I fight a push/slice on occasion, usually with the longer clubs, and I think the cause is usually that I'm sliding my hips too much and not staying behind the ball. If I focus on "turn back/turn through," it usually straightens itself out. YMMV.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.

      Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
