My Swing (Mistro3000)

[Mistro3000]

I’m an 11 handicapper and here is my swing issue.

i have a tendancy of having a flat swing, by trying to keep my right elbow tucked in to get the power I have to try and rotate more and thus my swing can get flat as I am swinging it around my body.

with a driver I am lethal, I tee it a bit higher and have it off the front foot, and I hit a high power fade carrying 260 yards in winter!

The problem is with my irons, there are some days at the range I am also lethal with my irons with my ‘flat swing’ results in a lovely baby draw. However, the bad shot is straight and thinned, not running across the floor thinned but slightly stings my hand and a lower trajectory and slightly less distance so generally a good bad shot to have, however, some days 1 on 10 shots will do this, other days 7 in 8 shots will do this.

essentially my bad shot is almost a perfectly executed fairway bunker shot!

when I try and go steeper, generally no issue with the short irons, but have a tendancy to slice my mid to long irons or really pull them so the bad shots get me into mor trouble.

essentially I would like a fix to reduce the number of thinned iron shots with my flat swing. Some days it’s not an issue other days it is and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong on those off days.

much appreciate any help.

I wish you'd followed the guidelines.

They include posting (embedding) video.

I think @iacasmay have meant you needed to post a video of your swing. Hard for people to comment on what the issue is from text alone.
