Less shoulder Rotation in a Cut Shot?

[Rift2332]

I've been struggling with my shoulder rotation with the longer irons, and I am a bit under plane. I don't need a lot of shoulder rotation with my wedges, 9, 8 irons when I am hitting draws, but if I don't really make an attempt to turn on my 7+ irons I hit awful shots and my head moves too much.

I am a 4 handicap, and I can throw darts with wedges and short irons, but with the longer irons I have been playing around with a nice inside-square-inside slightly open face high rising cut shot which requires me to barely turn my shoulders at all. Any thoughts on this? I just don't like it because its ugly to hit cut shots and I have a bit of an ego I guess.

My body is smaller at 5'8" and 130lb, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with things...

wouldn't you lose a lot of distance doing that with longer irons?

It's more of a straight boring shot with a slight fade, were not talking banana here
