I play in Ireland and I'm off a handicap of 19, I'm 17 so I am only able to get cut in a 3 month period during the summer and I went from 28-19 but my game is falling apart 1. My short game is non existent I blade and chunk Lot of pitches 2. My irons are so inconsistent it's either gonna be a slice/hook/blade/fat/to and Ihats very annoying 

 

any tips?

i have a video of my swing but it's not letting me attach it...

First off. I commiserate. Golf can be a frustrating game where things that seem so easy one day can slip out of your fingers the next. My personal experience is that when I have sore muscles, some kind of injury, or am very tired, my swing is likely to suffer considerably. That's one potential source of your sudden problem.

But before you get a chorus of 'crickets' you should realize that you're kind of asking a bunch of strangers to guess what your issues are. If you don't post a video, at least provide some more specific information about what your issues are. What is your shot tendency now compared to what your typical shots were like before, etc.

Yeah we need a vid or more info but if you are blading and chunking your chips maybe you are swaying too much.

I'll tell you what I have always told my son "stay between you feet".... Don't sway out over your feet or problems like you have will appear.

But again, more info and a visual will help much better diagnose.

Heres a few really good threads on short game.  The last one is great for approach shots.  Stick around and be willing to learn.  There's a ton of great info on this site.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
