I've been Playing Golf for: 7 years

My current handicap index or average score is: average score is 83.4

My typical ball flight is: medium

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: fat long iron shots.

I taking advice from another thread I started in another section, where I have tried to explain my troubles.  This year I would like to focus on gaining a higher trajectory, both in my short Irons, but mostly long irons.  Some information that might be helpful is I tend to trap the ball too much.  For whatever reason, but it is almost like my hands get stuck somewhere in my downswing, and this results in a steeper downswing.  I have no problem controlling the ball this way, my impact is solid for the most part, but it would be nice to be able to pick the ball off the turf especially with long irons, and to add even more height to all of my shots.  I have good rotation, and flexibility, could this be a problem with the way hip, shoulders, and arms not being properly in tune ? Any help would be appreciative. thank you

We really could use a video. Feels are often not very "real" so while many of us could give you advice based on what you think you're doing, that advice might be the opposite of what you need.

If you are able to record your swings, here are some tips: http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing .
