Pushing my short irons

[jplkorea83]

I seem to have started pushing my short iron shots out to the right. They all end up about 15 yards to the right of my target although I've checked my feet alignment and direction of the club face. Not really sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Have you checked the alignment of your hips and shoulders?

I'll try it tomorrow

Will second CH. Can't really be much else than alignment/setup.

could be that as its a short shot and your not going at it and you are leaving your weight/right hip behind and leaving the ball out there?



Edit, the ball flight laws state that 80% of the initial ball flight comes from the angle of the club face at impact....

I made a couple of adjustments this morning. They seem to have done the trick, hitting a slight draw now.

1) I narrowed my stance. I noticed my stance on my irons was pretty much the same as with my driver which was ridiculous.
2) I made an effort to bring my club back in a straight line at the start of my backswing.

I'm making an assumption that either one or both of these worked. The last 30 balls I hit this morning came out nice and crisp and on line (give or take!)
