Hey, I'm a high school golfer and I like to think I'm pretty good. All of a sudden I've noticed that I've lost a ton of distance on my irons. I used to carry the 160 yd par 3 at my home course with a 9i but now it ends up 20 yards short and in the water. I've lost about this much on every iron shot. I think it might be from my upper body rotating through before my lower body but I'm not quite sure. Any advice would help!

You could be coming in to the ball too steep etc, its hard to know exactly what is causing it with out video. Post a video of your swing, Face on and Down the line.

Video would be needed to tell for sure, but my guess is you have less forward shaft lean at impact.

As others have said, it's hard to tell without seeing you swing. But you can help by describing your ball flight. How does the ball fly? Left to right, right to left, higher or lower than normal? Tell us.

Thanks for the responses. I'll try to post a video of my swing. I would say I have a low to mid ball flight and tend to play a left to right shot. 

This is a video of me swinging in my backyard. Thanks for the help.

    • 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.
