How come I can Hit my driver but not my Irons?

[James_Black]

I hit my driver 250 yards consistently but then once I get to my next shot I'm all over the place. Pulls and slices everything.

What is going on?
I thought drivers where meant to be the hard clubs to hit not irons....

you always hear about people struggling with either their driver or their irons because the ball is hit on different parts of the swing for each.- you're hitting your driver on the upswing whereas you hit irons on the downswing.

Don't worry - usually i suck at both =P

In a nut shell, verse is right.

If you want some help, post your swing.

Are you getting good contact with your irons or are you just hacking and slashing at it?

Well it depends.

I CAN get good contact and it goes straight. but normally I slice it either right or left

I was having the same problem. I was driving 240-250 straight down the pipe, and duffing irons all over the place. I went back to fundamentals... grip, posture, ball placement, weight shift, etc. With me, it came down to setting up correctly, slowing my swing down a little, and letting the club do the work. I went from shooting high 90's to high 80's in a very short time. Also, I hit balls with my lob wedge (full swing) in my yard every day that I'm not playing or at the range.
Now that my irons are acting right, I'm going to practice pitching, chipping, and putting like a madman!
