Ok, here's the deal, I've only been playing for approximately 7 months, have scored in the low 90's a few times and appear to idle around there. Now, I actually picked up the game, learning to strike my irons pretty good and fairly consistent, while I was horrible with a driver. So, I get rid of the driver and use a 13degree FW for a while. I just purchased a new driver (Callaway FT-IZ) and the past few rounds, I have been very consistent and long with my driver but my irons went to shit!!! I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, but am having some trouble. I wonder since I hit on the upswing with the driver and downswing with the irons, if it's messing me up mentally?

I do a nice steady paced swing with my driver and it launches far (250-270). I go to my irons and I don't know if I'm changing my swing and it's screwing me up or what. Should I have the same steady swing with my driver and irons, but obviously strike down on the irons? To sum it up, should my swing be the same for all clubs, as in tempo, takeaway, backswing, downswing and follow through?

Thanks and sorry if it's long and some what confusing, it's just very frustrating!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      I'll say again… you have a different definition of "temporary" and "speed" than I do. For your handicap to go up FOUR shots means you were through the soft cap and approaching the hard cap. If you did it over 15 rounds (leaving five potentially lower scores), then you played REALLY bad golf over that stretch because it's likely that only three or four of the best of those 15 rounds were actually counted, so if the three or four best scores RAISED your handicap five shots (three at 100%, 2 at 50% once you hit the soft cap), then that's some BAD golf over an extended (not temporary) period of time. And here's the thing… play 15 good rounds, or even just EIGHT, and it'll DROP again, even faster. Handicaps still drop faster than they rise, not only because of the way we calculate it (best 😎 but because of the caps. Right… it's not like you're not needing the shots. You're playing really badly, and your handicap is still lagging behind your play.
