Golf bros, took my iron striking to the next level this weekend

Date: May 19th, 2025 12:41 PM Author: Marvelous Topaz Public Bath I've been battling a nasty hook/pull all year
Finally realized my hands were too far forward with anything longer than 9i
Neutralized my hand placement at setup, even closing the club face a little. It looked and felt weird at first but everything went straight (pulled slightly left with a few degrees of fade)
My instructor probably couldn't figure this out because his view is always behind the swing
Then at the end I added the Harvey Penick forward press motion into my take back; but extremely subtle (see Ludvig Aberg for example)
Somehow this added like 10-15 yards of carry while keeping the same baby fade and trajectory (probably from optimizing tempo and easier to hinge trail wrist)
TL;DR: I sucked at hitting irons for like 3 months and neutralizing my hand/ball placement fixed everything |

Date: May 19th, 2025 10:08 PM Author: Marvelous Topaz Public Bath DG is a tour level shaft
KBS and project X are vanilla off the shelf tier
Nippon N.S. Pro Modus 3 and Zelos seem more comparable to DG (or better)

Date: May 19th, 2025 10:27 PM Author: adventurous crusty feces location Nippons feel smooth as fuck, but they its kind of a weird flex profile and I hit a lot of big pulls or hooks with them. Saw better results with the dg 105 and kbs ctaper lite than the modus 105 and 120 or the PX IO from mid weight shafts. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5727241&forum_id=2#48946054) |

Date: May 28th, 2025 1:09 PM Author: adventurous crusty feces location Was also pulling my irons a lot early this year, but sorted it out the last few rounds which is getting me 7 to 9 GIRs instead of 4 to 6 and shaving 3-5 strokes.

Date: May 29th, 2025 12:20 PM Author: Marvelous Topaz Public Bath Do you have a baby fade too?
I feel like we have similar slightly OTT swings
But you have better lower body mechanics and more wrist hinge |
