Adding Loft to R7 CGB irons

[dreamfxgolf]

So I had some Taylormade OS2 and liked the trajectory and the distance (Everything Standard). Then I bought the R7 CGB because they felt absolutely solid and got them fitted at my local Golfsmith.
They did 2 things.

1. Cut 1/2 inch from the shaft. ( I am 5'7 and my wrist to floor measurment is 31)
2. Changed my lie to 2 degrees flat.

Now here is the problem...I'm hitting alot of shots thin (line drives). I remember I had similar problems with the r7XD, so I took them back thinking it was because it was a smaller blade-like club. The CGB MAX is a bigger, more forgiving club...still, I have difficullty getting balls in the air.

Is this because they have stronger lofts? Can my CGB MAX irons be bent so that they are lofted similar to my older OS2's? Is this defeating the purpose of the CGB's?...

It's very frustrating hitting balls thin when I never had that problem before. I don't want to get rid of the CGB's...I cant take them back. Perhaps practice makes perfect, but again... I have a problem I didn't have before.

If anybody can point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.

If you're hitting the ball thin, adding loft isn't going to do anything at all. The leading edge of a club really has no loft, after all.

If they are 1/2 inch shorter, stand a little closer to the ball and try to keep your head at a consistent height throughout the swing.

And take a divot. Most thin shots occur because you try to help the ball into the air or swing up at it.

Well, went to the range where I hit off grass not mat, your suggestion helped but still thinnned apprx 35% of all my shots. Anybody else with a suggestion?

so let me get this right you had the TM OS with std length and lie?? then you bought a set of R7 irons got them fitted (- 1/2 inch 2° flat) now your having trouble making solid contact? Did TM fit these clubs or a golf shop?? what I see happening is with those adjustments your swing is going to have to change from what it was with the old clubs. due to the changes that were made.. for starters try putting the ball back another inch in your stance to encourage contact on the down swing with your new irons. see that is the reason that I always have my customers start with a standard length and lie and check the contact with a lie mat and stickers on the bottom of the irons.
