I've recently moved to a hitting stroke with my irons and have been getting greater consistency which is great but have probably lost a couple of clubs worth of distance, especially with short irons. Longer clubs not so much
Has anyone found a similar thing and is it just a time issue in terms of getting it back? i feel like i'm striking them a lot cleaner (nice ball then turf contact) and compressing the ball although losing distance
One thing i was thinking of is whether i may be approaching more of a vertical hinge instead of angled... not thinking of doing anything with the hands other than "hanging on"
Without the benefit of your video, here are some issues to ponder...
Hitters must be wary of deceleration.
Hitters have Transfer Power (6-B-3-0) and
Hitters also have a Finish Swivel (4-D-0).
