Twinge in my hands when hitting irons off tees?

[ILLZ]

This started happening a few weeks ago and I can't figure out what it is! When hitting irons off tees (par 3's) I'll feel a twinge in my hands, like the feeling you get when you hit a baseball with a metal bat in cold weather. The ball doesn't have any hook or slice at all, but moves right and well short. I thought it was some sort of fluke at first. I went to the range yesterday to try to work it out. First thing I assumed was that I was crowding the ball and hitting it off the heel. I don't think that's it because I stepped far back and was still doing it. I moved the tee up, tee down, moved closer to the ball, moved farther away, and nothing helped. What the hell is this?

Oh, I also should note that this has never happened, not even once, without a tee.

You might be tryin to sweep the ball off the tee causing you to "come up" on it. If you are having success with your irons out of the fairway then try using no tee off the tee box. Alot of the time when people use a tee for their iron shots they feel there is no chance of chunking it so they "lift up" trying to get more air on it which actually causes the ball to be hit on the upswing (good for drivers bad for irons) and this leads to skulling or "blading" the ball occaisionally.
