I'm working on getting my swing back in order: I've not been playing golf for 6 years now. I wasn't very good back then, but my swing was a lot more reliable and predictable. With all the tweaks I've been making right now it's pretty much a gamble as to what'll happen when I swing. I was just breaking 100 when I stopped.
I've just started recording my swing on video, and I noticed I've been taking the club WAY inside, and coming over the top in the downswing (surprise surprise). I can recognize it in the takeaway now, but I still catch myself doing it, so I'm assuming I've always been like this before (with the woods at least I could always see the tee streak going center to out).
At first I couldn't hit any iron past 150 or 160, and I now realize it's because I'm not hinging/releasing my wrists properly. So, I'm working on fixing that and flattening my plane, and I think I got most of it this weekend with quite a few choice shots (no video for confirmation though). Just need to grind at the range for a good couple months to really get it ingrained in my muscle memory and stomp out the bad habits.
I really miss hitting the irons well, to me solid iron contact/hitting a green is the best feeling in the world: better than sinking a long putt, and better than a long drive. I especially love hitting the longer irons, it feels like I accomplished something. I managed to hit a couple greens this last weekend and I can feel it all coming back to me.
