Now if you are really struggling with iron shots that aren't really getting up into the air and carrying a long way. We have got to consider why that might not be, and for a lot of people it might be a lack of club head speed. When you watch the world's best golfers they don't tend to struggle with club head speed when you watch them on telly. So they can pretty much any eye in whether it's a wedge whether it's a wall or a to wind they can get the thing up in the air and you see it carrying all the oil up and it lands softly on the green. Now for a club or an amateur golfer there is going to be a point where the not swinging the club fast enough to get away with the last all the spin and this is quite simply the reason why nobody these days should be playing with a one on a second line 3 lot of golf is don't even carry your full. Now so the 5 are in an open. So I was saying hybrid clubs replace those long irons and the reason for that is simply that we're not creating enough loft not creating enough spin to hit those long irons. So it's important when you look at your bag you look at your set up that you have enough loft in there and you know trying to prevail hitting a 2 line that's just going head height the whole way and then rolling along wide. Well there are issues that you might find it creating issues with your eye and shots is actually so accounts are in turn it might be the fact you're trying to lift the ball. So we know you want the ball to go up in the air but actually if you'll stood behind it trying to sweep the open fear trying to hook it up into the air with your hands there's a risky going to hit the ground before the ball which is a big problem with ball striking.
Don't hit the ground before the ball you actually hit the top of the ball. So you get stuck behind the ball here trying like crazy to scoop it you hit the ground and then hit the top of the ball and you get bad contact we've got to go counter intuitive with this we've got to make make sure that we're hitting down on the ball. Creating a slightly steeper angle of attack hitting down, and on the ball creates a bit of the back spin the box being is the thing that you do need to get up. So a good strike with enough back spin should create enough height for you. All the way we've consideration is a sliding motion we don't really want golf is to slide too much into the ball particularly with your irons if you're setting up nicely to the ball here that you slide into the golf ball way will generally find that if you come into walls impacts. The hands leaves too far ahead of the club had you deal off the shots and it just goes to consider that every degree that is ahead of that club had 2 3 4 5 10 degrees comes off the loft of the club face. So 10 degrees is effectively 3 clubs so my 7 I turn into a 4 I'm pretty quickly if I'm hitting a 4iron with a slow swing. It's not going to go up in the area enough. So we have to consider we don't want to lift we don't want to slide we want to make sure we've got enough club head speed to really get the irons launching up in the air with plenty of loft and plenty of back spin.
