whats going on?

[caddy45]

Basically i hit my driver very good for me, about 230 right down the middle every time. my short game is pretty good and my fairway woods are good. But i can not hit my irons. i dont know why but i just cant hit them, i always either top/skull it or hit it right or left. Am i supposed to swing a different way with irons then i am with my woods? am i supposed to grip them differently? please give me some advice.

Irons should be hit with the same swing, you will naturally stand closer to the ball which will make your swing plane more upright(which is what you want for irons). You want to hit the ball with a descending blow and contact the ball first, then take a divot in front of the ball. Experiment with ball position with your irons. Make sure you aren't "casting" of "flipping your wrists" on the downswing, that can cause a thin/skulled shot. You could be just pulling out of the shot completely too(standing up). There are many things that can cause it.

Your stance should be be get narrower for the shorter irons and wider for the longer irons(but still narrower than with your woods).

Grip changes are not necessary and will just lead to inconsistency.

i used to have the same problem my golf instructor told me the reason why i hit things skinny and chunky is because my back swing was so fast that i couldnt change gears so he told me to have a nice smooth swing so pretty much a slow back swing and swing just a little harder on your down swing

I had this problem before as well. One simple swing thought resolved it though... Focus on hitting "down" on the ball (descending blow) and make sure you leave the divot (if any) between the ball and your target.

i found the drill of putting a penny or tee a couple inches infront of the ball and focusing on hitting the penny or tee and just let the ball get in the way, helped my iron play alot.
