I am having trouble with my irons. ?

Question

I tend to slice my irons badly. some days i hit them perfect but lately ive been slicing them mostly. I can usually hit my 8 through PW good but i cant hit my 7-3 irons. any tips?

Answer 1

i am like that sometimes, not so much anymore. Its all in the swing. The best tip i can give is what i did and that was watch swing tip videos.

Answer 2

Check your swing plane. If you swing the 3-7 on a too steep plane the club face will be tilted,toe down and heel up. this can cause a slice or catch the toe slightly in the turf opening the face, but the extra loft on the shorter irons make a steep plane ok.

Next check out your ball position if you set up with the ball too far back in your stance you may not be getting the club face back to square at impact. One test for this is to set up for a straight shot and then close the face just enough to draw or hook the shot. Swing as if you want to hit it straight but with the club face closed and if it go's straight you may have to set up with the ball more forward in your stance to correct the slice.GOOD LUCK...

Answer 3

A good drill to do to fix that is go to the range with a bucket of balls and the irons you are having trouble hitting, tee each shot up and make sure when you hit the ball at impact that your wrist are turned over. Do this with about 10 balls then try to hit a couple of normal shots. Good Luck.

Have a good one...

Answer 4

choke down on your 7 to 3 irons, about a half inch or 3/4 of an inch, and just swing easy.
