Wave goodbye to long club woes
Do you face problems when handling woods and long irons compared to the short and mid irons? Well, do not feel yours is an isolated case, as there are many golfers who experience similar difficulties and inconsistencies with the longer golf clubs.
Basically, woods and long irons have less loft and longer shafts in comparison with the other golf clubs in the bag. These structural features can either make swinging easier for you or they can drive you nuts.
A reduced degree of loft will mean less backspin, while a longer shaft gives a larger swing arc with more club head speed. Less backspin might also translate into greater sidespin, while extra club head weight can amplify the sidespin effects. It’s a great challenge to improve your impact with the longer clubs.
The best solution to longer club inconsistencies is to attempt to make solid contact between the ball and the club face. You don’t have to swing harder. The club design should take care of the extra distance as long as the ball gets struck on the correct path with a square face.
Get yourself tuned for using long irons. If you can overcome your long club phobia you will be able to achieve incredible success.
