I have been playing golf since I have been 8 years old.  As of lately I have not been able to hit my irons without having a bit of a strong fade.  What is going on??? I keep my left arm straight and turn at the pelvis for more tourqe in my down swing.  I hit my 5 iron about 200 yards but at the tail end it starts to fade strong... Help, I have tried several different grips and moving the ball around in my stance and cant figure out what is going on???  I seem to be hitting a push draw and a strong one at that.  I feel like I have been trying to lift the ball in the air which is not a good thing because that adds a lot of un-needed energy and twists the planed swing.  HELP!

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,

Ian

Could this be that the offset in my Callaway razr x's is to much of a beginner club?  I strike the ball pretty well and feel like i might need something of a forged iron???

A trick I've shown to other golfers that had a tendency of lifting the ball in the air was to put a tee laying down in front of the ball approximately two inches along the target line.  Ensure you make contact with the tee on the ground (I'd use broken tee's found on the range), this will help you to focus on sweeping through the impact point.  Hope this helps, good luck.

Thanks Makana81,  I have also used this trick but I guess it is time to go back to the old ways I was taught to swing.  This will also help me probably slow my swing speed down and make it more methodic and aligned!

I was thinking that it might have been the higher offset on my new clubs, I might need more of a blade....

Thanks!

    • Did the 'club' conform to the Equipment Rules?
    • I was there just for sunday, and it went smoothly. Thanks @Hardspoon for helping in setting this up. 
    • I say this in believing the guy should just pay you and he's a d**k for not.  Do you guys play by the USGA rules strictly? If so, then the claim is valid. It sucks, but it is. Again, he is a d**k for being that nitpicky over it. If he wants to play the game of waiting for you to finish to have his ah-ha moment, again he's a d**k. Though, if the putter is non-conforming, you maybe able to claim that it is not a club?  Just talk to your group and don't invite him back.     
    • Couple of added points.  It was pink and maybe 18 long.  I am 6 1   And he waited until the round was over to say something when he was in my 4 some in the other cart. 
    • I would have paid you. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the extra putter was not in play.  Having said that "Did you declare the extra putter out of play?"  This person seems like a bit of a weenie and he is also setting a dangerous precedent. Let's say he wins next month. Then when it's your turn to pay up, you could refuse. Telling him "I timed you on hole 8 and you searched for your ball and found it at 3 minutes and 1 second. So, you should have taken stroke, plus distance and didn't." You could then show him your stopwatch feature on your phone where you timed it out to 3:01 and say "See."  I actually would just let it go and assume the guy is a weenie. Because doing stuff like that takes the fun out of friendly bets. If he can't afford to pay up, he shouldn't bet.
