Iron Swing question?

[trog2233]

When i swing my driver or woods i have a full swing. But I never hit a full swing iron shot. Everything is 3/4 swing. Is this bad or should i just continue to keep doing what i do. I'm very accurate with my irons but i dont have alot of distance.

I used to have the same problem. To fix it, I used my same exact slice, that is critical, so you don't mess up your accuracy. Keep your arms straight, and just swing as hard as you can. Kill the ball. Ive heard golf experts say you dont want to do this, but I do, and I increased my drive by about 75 yards.

Do you struggle with not reaching on the course? What are your distances with the irons?

I'm an advocate of accuracy, so unless you got a problem with distance, I say stick to the 3/4. You could probably increase distance better by working on tempo, timing, improving contact, better weight transfer, lower trajectory or changing brand of ball. It is very easy to go too far when trying to get more distance, messing up the swing.

Have you ever recorded your swing speed?

If you are hitting quality shots is doesn't matter. I believe accuracy is the most important thing and if you can hit it more consistantly I see no reason to change. I personally use the same swing with a full finish with all my clubs but what works for me might not work for you.
