I don't know what's going on lately, but I can't hit ANY short iron (8-PW) shots! I catch them all too fat or they just hit off the toe and to the right. Not sure if it's ball positioning in my stance or what. But idk what to do to try and resolve this.

In my stand Bag:

R7 Superquad 10.5* Fujikura REAX 65-S
Hi-Bore XLS 19* Hybrid Dynamic Gold S300
MP-60 4 thru PW Dynamic Gold S300 .588 REG 54* SW Vokey 58* LWSTX Greeny IV putter

If your consistantly hitting them fat, try moving the ball back a little. Ball position is usually my problem when i hit fat shots.

1. Maintain your spine angle into the follow through.

2. Make sure your hands are ahead of the club at impact.

I was having this problem recently. I went to the range, got a medium bucket (70 balls), and hit only those three clubs. I realized the ball was too forward in my stance after about five shots. I moved it, hit the remaining 65 well, and felt confident the next time I went to play.

If a bit at the range doesn't help, consider asking your pro; the worst thing you can do is to ingrain a bad habit with these important clubs.

true. but i adjusted my ball positioning accordingly with all of my irons, and pausing just a tad between my backswing and downswing to let my hips fire helped a lot. just sucked judging distance because of the nasty headwind. but a GREAT day at the range nonetheless

      Pitching

      By pganapathy ·

      My rule of thumb for anything inside a 100 yards is my PW.  Of course, my SW and LW come into the picture when I need to loft it more and especially when I have little green to work with.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By saevel25 ·

      let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣. 6/21 is 100% out for me.

      Tiger Woods Master Catch-All Discussion

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Thank you for sharing that. He was quite good wasn't he? I was curious, so took a look. He played 19 PGA Tour stroke play events in 2000. He was 263 under par (they did point that out at the end of the video). If you look at each event he played in and take the best score in each event for a player not called Tiger Woods, that combined field score was -259. So he beat the field - where the field resets every week - over the course of an entire season. That's mind blowing.

      How to Handicap a 12 Member, With a Partner, Scramble League?

      By iacas ·

      If they have the same handicap it doesn't matter what you take 35% and 15% of. If you have two low handicaps, averaging them is generally unwise as I said in my first response: a scratch and an 18 would get 9 strokes, which is silly given that one of the players is scratch.

      How to Handicap a 12 Member, With a Partner, Scramble League?

      By edju1749 ·

      Thank you iacas! Interesting take on 35% on Lower Hdcp and 15% on higher Hdcp. Two questions. Why did you choose 35% & 15%? What would I do with tied Hdcp? Right now I'm just adding the two Hdcp. and dividing by 2. We have just 2 golfers with a low Hdcp. The other 10 golfers are very similar. With what I'm doing now, the highest Hdcp. difference, in a match, is 8 once and 7 twice, Again, Thank you very much!
