Coming out of the trees

5 iron is like using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut.


de-loft the he'll out of an 8 irom. get the hands well forward. keep you weight left and hit down on the ball with a little dunt. No follow through.

It is much easier to control the shorter shaft of say and 8 iron. Other short irons are available and work too.

I'm with you Gary, an 8 iron in my mind is more predictable than a 5.
The ball should be placed back in the stance to ensure ball 1st contact, so a 5, in my experience, sends the ball too low hitting rubbish as it goes

I tend to use 5 or 6 iron for these, ball well back in my stance - to be honest probably closer to my back foot than centre even. Then I aim to keep the club head low at the finish rather than swimming it normally - kind of like a cricket stroke more than a golf stroke so hands feel massively in front of the club face at impact. Usually comes screaming out nice a low - barely gets above knee height for me.

he didn't push it - just forgot if you put the ball back some & the swing AoA is more down the clubface is swinging out to the rightfiield some, of his original aimpoint, face also looking rightfield - something to consider if trying to play through a small gap in a treeline

Noticed you are down to +3. :thup: awesome

 

[the_coach]

thanks G. spent a bunch of the last few months bouncing from + 2 to 3 then back to + 2, now got to +3 with a tad of breathing space

Mighty impressive stuff :thup: good to see you have time to work on your own stuff as well as everyone on here.
