Now that I've been playing a while I've reached a level where I'm now making few - or no - silly mistakes anymore. I've gone from the duff/shank/slice/thin stage as a beginner, to where I'm hitting the ball reasonably well.
At the same time, my distance has improved - I can now comfortably reach most greens-in-regulation distance-wise, even if my accuracy isn't that good.
With that though comes a bit of a new issue, which is that I really struggle to stop the ball on the green from an approach shot. Normally the ball has some forward roll, or the flight isn't high, so it rolls beyond the green.
8 iron and above is fine - the flight is high enough that it 'plops' right down. But anything more than a 7 iron and I just can't seem to stop the ball quick enough. I'm constantly going through the green.
Is there anything I can do? Is this something that different clubs help with (am playing with Yonex VMXs at the moment, so very much aimed at high handicappers).
