The oldest clubs in my bag are the eye 2s i was fitted for when i was 14 (4 years ago). If i remember correctly, they are 1 or 2° flat, 1" short, and the shafts are a regular flex. (i have since taken almost 2 years off of the game, and i am taller and stronger than i was then) I noticed this year i have to reach/set up uncomfortably to ground the club. My soft draw is a hard hook, just with these clubs, and i think this may be why. I would love to be able blame my misses on the clubs, but i don't know what is really causing it.

Does this seem plausible? If so, should i buy new irons?

Yes. Please do yourself a favor and get yourself re-fit. No need to buy a whole new set of clubs right now. If you like the clubs keep them! A proper fitter will be able to tell what needs to be changed. My guess is that they are way too short for you, and the lie is off. You can get extensions put in the shafts to make them the proper length and correcting the lies are easy enough too if need be. You would be surprised how much better you will hit the ball with clubs that are fit for you.

      Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change.

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.
