Frustrated...scooping

[JBellanca]

I have picked up a bad habit with my iron play the last few rounds. I am struggling with what I think is my lag and I am sure many other things, but either way I am scooping the ball from time to time. Even sometimes the club is on the way up prior to contact with the ball (clearly my center has moved at this point, right??). For example, one hole I will make crisp contact with a wedge that results in a high trajectory and soft landing, but the next hole I will basically blade the same club and hit it over the green. FRUSTRATING!

I reviewed my swing and feel that I am centered with my head still, trying to incorporate some S&T; fundamentals, but I have been losing my ball striking consistency lately. What are some suggestions to get me back on track? Are there some basic swing thoughts at setup and takeaway that will help??

Can you post your swing?
It'd be easier to give you tips.

Most likely your weight is behind the ball at impact, that is the centers of your hips and the center of your chest mass. this would cause you not to want to hit it fat so you come up and out of it and scoop at the ball.

Concentrate on keeping your weight center in the swing and moving towards your target in the downswing.
