Hi there,

I got a problem with distance for my 9 iron up to my Driver. For my 9 iron, distance is 130 up to 180 max for my Driver. I've great distance & control for my wedges, from 120 for my PW to 80 for LW. How can I get more distance for my irons up to my Driver? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have the same problem with my 9 and pw, it has taken me awhile to get it right but practice makes perfect. But anyways it really sounds like your stance is to far up (left foot), what I did was for my pw and 9 is just kept ball placement in the middle and choked up a lil and I know it sounds typical but keep your head down and maybe might be you are not rotating your trail arm... Im not claiming to be a pro but try it and see, but out of all of it I found that I was pulling my head up and not rotating my trail arm... and on your driver idk at all..... Can you draw it or fade it or both

The OP listed no details about his setup or swing and has no swing video so I haven't a clue as to where you came up with this advice. Throwing a bunch of generic advice out and seeing what sticks isn't going to help him.

@sg92 could you provide some details about your swing or post a swing video so we have something to go on?

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
