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.

    • I took a look at a 6,300 yard fairly easy course and it was 99% distance and then a 6,800 yard more challenging course and it was 97% distance. Do you have an example of one less that 95% or 90%? Maybe I am misunderstanding something. (6,310/220) + 40.9 = 69.6. Course rating is 70.0 with a 120 slope. Less than 1% other factors? (6,804/220) + 40.9 = 71.8. Course rating is 74.0 with a 140 slope. About 3% other factors? These are more extreme: (4,698/220) + 40.9 = 62.3. Course rating is 62.7 with a slope of 101.  (7,569/220) + 40.9 = 75.3. Course rating is 77.4 with a slope of 155. So long hard courses are 97% length and short easy courses are 99% length in these examples. I am new to this so maybe I am all wet.  
    • I think in fairness what he means is Tommy's chances to win PGA Tour events are fairly similar in number to Rory's chances to win the Masters. I don't think he's remotely saying that Tommy and Rory are in the same league. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I took the comment as meaning if he keeps giving himself chances to win then eventually he will win one. Rory had a thing in his head about the Masters and won anyway. Tommy has a thing in his head about PGA Tour events. They do seem fairly analogous to me.
    • Don't get me wrong, I like TF from a nice-guy-next-door perspective but I was surprised at the nerves he showed on the 2nd putt on 17th. That was unmistakably a stroke of a player who had already submitted to the writing on the wall. Honestly I would not expect that out of a veteran tour player. I would have liked to continue rooting for him but gotta see a bit more fight from him. Rory could be reasonably accused of being a head case but he is a fighter. Big difference.
    • Um no. Rory Wins PGA Tour 29, EU 19, Majors 5, FedEx Cup 3 Tommy PGA Tour 0, EU 7, Majors 0, FedEx 0 He may win eventually, but he’s not in the same league as Rory.  
    • Like Colin Montgomerie? 😛
