Silly Iron Question

[Sam]

Where is the actual sweetspot on an iron. Asking 'cos watched a pro addressing the ball with toe well up.

There used to be a theory that the toe of an iron should sit ever so slightly off the ground, enough to slide a coin under.....I remember being told to do this.....???

The sweet spot is where you expect it to be.....in the middle.

Sam, good way to find the sweetspot is bounce a ball against the face of your iron. You will soon find where the bounce feels truest. That's the sweetspot

That's not necessarily true though. On some clubs - especially blades - it's slightly towards the heel.

Crikey....I never knew that! That's why I struggled with Mizuno TP11s.....??

Moving towards the hozzle also brings in a totally different issue too if you arnt too careful in your search for the sweetspot.

Telepathy I fear.....you and me are thinking the same here.
