I've been struggling with my long irons and fairway woods recently so I booked a lesson with the pro I use for today and within 15 minutes I was striking them well.

I wasn't turning with my shoulders and was forcing my wrist's round instead of a natural wrist hinge. So by the time I was coming down at impact I was way off plane causing my poor striking.

Fixing something minor has improved my striking massively. There's still work to do but I feel a lot happier now.

That's good Stu:)
 
That's interesting as I'm having the same problem on long irons. Will concentrate on turning more as on 7-iron upwards I don't have too many striking problems.

To be honest I didn't have any issues from 6i and upwards. It was more the longer irons that for some reason I wasnt swinging normally.

Because I was struggling I was forcing the shot only for my shots too end up being worse.

Like the thread title suggests changing something so simple can improve your game drastically.
 
Reason why I bought a Swingyde, it is the perfect fix for me.

Simple game when I use one, gets tough when I don't have regular lessons.
 
Nice one Stu.. After playing you at Aberdovey I could really tell that you were struggling ;)

What was it again? 1 over gross at the turn in foul weather? :D

Why has a picture of Pie & Chips been removed, was someone offended by the Gravy :rolleyes:


Stu, I reckon you'd be more than comfortable with 4/5 shots off your H'cap.

I agree mate, but my long irons and fairway woods are costing me shots. I need to work on what I did in my lesson yesterday and hopefully the hcap will tumble.
