If you say you are hitting x club 220 and y club 170 with "no problem" and then suddenly you are shanking, you do have problems, believe me.

Focus on contact, not how far you are hitting it.

You also probably don't need the 3 iron.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I went through this with my Ap's. I started out awesome and somewhat surprised with the extra yardage I got. Then I started getting off my front foot and having shanks and poor distance. Work on these things and it will come around. Once I quit "trying so hard" to hit the ball I started playing better.

My 3 iron is one of my best clubs in the bag. It has been even when I was chili dipping and shanking. If you hit well, trust it.

Move slightly further from the ball? Oh and I wish I hit my 7 iron 170. I swing a driver 107mph and don't, yet. Everybody seems to be a bomber but me.

The number on your iron doesn't mean much. ;-)

Too much sway and less turn of the hips can be a culprit for the shanks.

its nice to hear this happens to someone else. I can go to the range on a Tuesday night and hit the ball better then I ever have in my life and think to myself "I got it finally". Then the next night I hit hosel rockets with zero power. I have no clue why. Of course the downtime usually happens right before Im suppose to play...

Next time, stop right here. Your posts will look better that way, and you will have happy feelings about your swing.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
