Yesterday i played my first round since August of last year. Courses are finally opening after winter.

For the first time in my whole life my driver was the strongest club I had in my bag. I hit ever fairway with it, and even out drove my personal best, in the cold.

However, any club more loftted than a 4 iron was a disaster. Fats, thins, shanks, tops(Like legitimately hitting the top of the golf ball and having it pop straight back up to me), you name it. Every club from my 5 to my 60°. Now I went back to the range and the same thing is happening to me, I'm shanking 60° wedges even though my 56 and 60 have always been my strongest clubs. Any time I take a full shot I hit too fat and hit a little flub shot.

Every now and then I'll hit a perfect wedge shot, or my 6 iron draw, but most of the time I'm mishitting every way known to mankind.

Im glad I can finally hit my driver well but to see me mishitting my go to clubs is.. Depressing, confusing, etc.

The range near me hosts lessons through GolfTec, and you can imagine why I don't want to go there for lessons. I considered evolvr but I can't really learn without a hands on instructor. I'm at a loss trying to figure out what to do, I went from shooting 81's to being a hacker.

That goes back your own My Swing thread and with your non-centered pivot and your head movement. 

If you are all over the place with your head it makes it nearly impossible to find the low point with the irons. Driver is an easy club because it's tee'd up and because he's 460cc. 

Continue to work on keeping your head more steady and it will make contact more consistent.

Well, I've been working on it and I'm way better than I was before. I uploaded another video of a wedge shot in my basement and my head is way more steady.

Its just weird that I've never had this problem before now. The only mishit I ever had was a toey strike that would go right or if I was lucky would go left.

    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
