Hey guys,

forgive me if there's already a thread about this but I looked and didnt see one.

I got fit for irons last week with trackman and my angle of attack averaged 7* (for 6 iron). I know you always want to trap the ball well, but like my fitter said "I'm trapping it too well". The average angle was something like 3*, but regardless mine is pretty steep and I've been known to take pretty lenghty/deep divots. Also this messed with my launch angles...but does anyone have any simple tips for making that angle not quite so large but still avoid "flipping" completely?

Thank you!

Handle needs to feel like it's raising into the follow through with the weight forward, exaggerate this

I know you're talking about your irons but this is just another good illustration

That's tough because it could be as simple a ball position or as complex as lack of secondary axis tilt...I suppose you'd have to put your swing up and let the guru's take a look.

    • Has Scottie been losing his footing on shots today or is this something he does regularly? 
    • How many times does Cameron Young get his big misses to kick out into the fairway this week? Burns at #2:  his second was a penalty (unplayable), punched out, missed his fourth long.   (I asked earlier and now I know, so I'm posting in case anyone else had the question)
    • I was watching a Tiger highlight reel earlier today;  all his eagles at the Masters (all were at par-5s, except one at #14). That and this got me to thinking, what would a Sergio Garcia career highlight reel consist of?  Destroyed tee boxes, damaged tee markers, yelling at rules officials, and spitting in at least one cup. I didn't see Sam Burns's second through fourth shots at #2.  How did he end up off the green for his fifth?  
    • Would he be the first winner of the Masters to be banned from Augusta!  Also, come on Sergio, you are a 46 year old over the hill golfer. Go get your Saudi paycheck and chill. You are not that good anymore to get that upset. Go enjoy your "retirement" in LIV. 
    • I think this is what you are talking about him doing? Close enough? It could have changed a bit, or maybe he added an extra piece to it, so it might not look exactly the same as this.  Note, this is from 5 years ago, so it is something is just has to always do.
