I've recently moved to a hitting stroke with my irons and have been getting greater consistency which is great but have probably lost a couple of clubs worth of distance, especially with short irons. Longer clubs not so much
Has anyone found a similar thing and is it just a time issue in terms of getting it back? i feel like i'm striking them a lot cleaner (nice ball then turf contact) and compressing the ball although losing distance
One thing i was thinking of is whether i may be approaching more of a vertical hinge instead of angled... not thinking of doing anything with the hands other than "hanging on"
