Need golf advice re: irons

Choke up, don't suck.

Complete opposite of most people I run into.

OutofTown had some solid advice.

if i were to guess i would figure that you are decelerating big time right before contact, just think nice and easy but you have to keep your pace through the ball.

swing hard. let the chips fall where they may.

I'd say for Zach's age, that's great distance on a 7i.

Plus the fact that he has to cook the same dinner every day for his wife for 3 YEARS because she won't eat anything else.

His creativeness might be stagnated and that reflects on the course.

do you have trouble hitting a punch shot (lower trajectory, not a full swing) or simply swinging a bit slower? ... sounds like you're talking about hitting a punch shot ... if you're trying to punch it, don't shift as much weight to the right side during the backswing, make sure you're still using shoulders instead of all wrists/arms ...

Don't decelerate your swing.

For the shot you said move it back in your stance choke up and abbreviate follow through. Will help you flight the ball.

Thanks. I never choke up because I have a baseball background way before golf and always held the bat at the very end of the handle. Will try this tomorrow.

Moving the ball back in your stance will also give the ball a higher trajectory will help the distance issue as well.

I had this problem wen I first started playing. A lot of my issue was when I swung hard, I didn't give my self a chance to think. When I slowed it down, my swing got very technical and less athletic.

IMO, you may be better served at soliciting valuable swing tips with a video or gif of your swing.

For every bad golf shot there are no less than a dozen reasons or combinations of reasons for the outcome. If you are struggling hitting less than full shots, it could be because your timing is off, you are getting armsy and wristy (which was good advice), or you could be deaccelerating, etc.

I think that taking something that someone tells you without looking at it may create more problems than it helps. If you upload a video/gif, you may get better results. I'm sure there are some qualified people to tell you what you are potentially doing wrong.
