Maybe if I add more information about my game? With the driver and fairway woods, I employed a fairly strong grip and would bend and cock both wrists to get the club to the top and then, on the downswing, would feel like I was sending my right shoulder, knee, right index finger, and sweet spot to the ball. Down and through the ball, I would not actively roll the face, rather, I strove to keep it square--a "no roll" feel. Although this made my game with the woods pretty good, I really struggled with the irons. I think my problem was controlling low point. My iron shots would be weak, short, fades. I experimented with a "stack and tilt" type swing, staying more centered, but using more of a swinger backstroke with a weaker grip. Instead of striving for width, the hands came inside sooner and went up the plane sooner as well, I feel. Whereas previously, I used to move the clubface along the target line until my right arm hinged fully. At that point, I would turn my shoulders and send my hands to top. I think my downstroke maintained some hitting tendencies, regardless especially with long irons, I was able to see some improved results. My wood play became different. I was playing slight draws rather than my usual straight to power fade type ball that I was used to with my old action. I'm still lost and could use some help, please.
