Are your irons fit correctly?

[Khamelion]

While mooching through twitter this morning, I came across a video with a simple technique on how to determine if your irons are fit correctly.

I must remember to take a sharpie or similar to the range next time I go.

Will have a little look lunchtime. PCs at work have had all sound cards disabled!!

Like it similar to what is done when you get a fitting.

Hit em straight ....ish

Very old school, like using impact tape that is readily available to buy off the internet. Well worth trying if you have off the shelf clubs, just to see if they are correct for you.

You never know, the reason you keep missing greens to the right might be because the toe is digging in opening the face up, basically the lie angle too flat, it might not be your swings fault......:thup:

it might not be your swings fault......:thup:

it rarely is.....

 

[ScienceBoy]

They are close enough for my needs, being mr average in height and build.

When I get stuck on a single figure I will blame the clubs and get fitted.

You might also be aiming right.
Or be playing in a left to right wind.

What about if you had been fitted but kept going out .1 despite hours and hours of practice and numerous lessons??????

The toe doesn't need to dig in. If the club is too flat for you the face will be slightly open even when hit off a tee with no ground impact due to the physics of loft and lie. Same idea, opposite effect for too upright. No heel digging needed.

Imagine you are standing with a 7 iron with a perfect lie (neither flat nor upright). You now have 30 degrees of lift and 0 degrees of open or closed face. Now lower the club handle towards the ground hdingthe face in the same alignment. Now you have 30 degrees of face closure. This is what happens with any club that is too flat or upright and on sloping lies.

Then you'd probably be best to consider giving up Golf and taking up some other pastime - like Fishing!

Used this numerous occasions to keep checking as I use blades. It's a great aid to see how and where your striking the ball.

That will never happen.

I use impact tape regularly to get some feedback on my ball striking. Having been fitted for my I25's it's good to know they still seem to be correctly set up and any mistakes are purely my own incompetence

I had my first fitting last week, and the pro did this as part of the checks.

But it happens to some

There are 2 floors to this, the first one is he said use a "clean club", I've played with many off here and not only are your shoes a disgrace, but your clubs are also :smirk:

Secondly, with the time some people take to set-up, practice swing/s and do your pre-shot routine, the ink will be that dry it won't leave a mark :smirk:

And if you live in a bungalow?

And if you live in a bungalow?

Take up Bowls....

This joke is so protracted I have forgotten the punchline I was going to put

Something self deprecating about not ever going to actually make it tonsigle figures.
