Low flight Irons..

[MbolicGolf]

When I hit the ball well I hit it really high very naturally, Can anyone suggest some Irons that promote a lower ball flight.

It's likely not the irons themselves causing the high ball flight but the shafts. Go get a fitting and see if that helps.

I play X stiff's back in my stance.

Yeah but I think shafts with a higher bend point would lower the flight? Also different weights in shafts affect ball flight too. Seriously you're best off getting a fitting to find your perfect shaft and then finding heads to match your game.

Club structure, ball, wind, and swing characteristics all contribute to trajectory. For sake of brevity, I will address the first three and omit swing matters.

Club structure:

• Design of clubhead: the more perimeter weighting, and the lower the Vertical Center of Gravity, the higher the clubhead will launch the ball. Also, there's the loft of the club.

• Shaft: a more flexible shaft and a lower kickpoint will tend to launch the ball higher; a stiffer shaft and a higher kickpoint will tend to launch the ball lower.

Ball: Balls are rated on amount of spin, and whether they are low, medium or high trajectory.

Weather: specifically wind... if you hit into a headwind, especially with a lot of backspin spin on the ball, he ball hits the wind wall and startsto  climb up more than going forward. When playing into 45 MPH headwinds in Texas and Oklahoma, I saw players hit what we called blowback shots. I was about 50 yards from the green, and a playing partner across the fairway hit a shot from about 140 yards out. He hit a 5-iron to get extra length into the wind, but as the ball slowed, it blooped up in the air. The ball initially carried a bit past the pin, but then got shoved up and back, ending up on the front fringe of the green.

When going into the wind, taking extra club with a smooth swing and low backspin will get you more distance and lower trajectory than trying to muscle it through the wind with less club.
