hitting ball to high

[csonka39]

i play to a 6-7 hncp; but one of my biggest issues is i can hit my irons like a hit my wdge and lose distance at times; for example , my 7 iron max distance is 150; but its like a wedge; now max for a 9 is 115 yds......for a wedge 100 yds......i played raquetball for years and feel i gotten too much underneath the ball and tried flattening my swing plane but its seems to be helping but not by much.

i thinking i gettng new irons; and reading to get on a machine so they could tweak my shafts for a better result......thoughts

How about trying a 3 iron?

May I ask - How long have you been playing the game?

I have the same problem and hit the ball way too high, i literally get no run whatsoever, today i managed to backspin my driver, which im pretty sure shouldnt happen even into wind.

CJ,

I had the same problem and try everything I could think of to solve the problem. Ultimately a friend of mine who played on tour told me I needed to get a x-stiff shaft and even lowered the loft on my club head with my driver. Got xs shafts in my irons and it's definitely lowered the ball flight significantly
