mid iron help!!!

[richy]

I could do with a bit of advice and guidence. Ive got an issue with getting distance with my mid irons. Every other club goes fine. Driver & woods fine along with good distance and control with my wedges, 8 & 9 iron.

Whenever I get my 5,6 & 7 iron out Im always gutted by the distance as they only ever go as far as my 8i. Sometimes I will hit it correctly and it goes where it should do but not always.

What could I be doing wrong or does anybody know any exercises or drills I could try?????

Thanks in advance

richy, are you taking divots with them?

 

[richy]

ive been mainly on the range as the weather up here is still quite bad at times so ive been off the mats. the odd time ive been out this year i sometimes take slight divots.

Try and hit down more on the shot to take a slightly bigger divot
Drill.
Place a head cover behind the ball about a foot and try and hit the ball missing the head cover.
