Hi guys, i've got a frustrating problem with my irons. If i concentrate on a full release and horizontal hinge i tend to pick the ball cleanly even with wedges and don't take a divot.

If i concentrate on hitting down more then i hit a lot of shanks as my hands tend to lock up and do not square the face.

I've been really trying with chip shots etc to keep the hands ahead, so much so that it blocks the hinge action.

Anyone else had the same problems and any remedies?

Cheers

if the ball flight and results are acceptable, why is this bad?
