Hopefully you guys can give me a swing thought that will help me here.
I have been coming back from my tennis elbow injury and finding my swing again. Strangely enough for a guy that was always a better iron player than a driver, I have found my driver more readily than my irons. That said, I am not a big hitter by any stretch of the imagination. Once I start getting drives out there around 230-250 with the occasional 260 bomb (at least for me), I am there with that club.
I just cannot get back with my irons. I have never played my irons off my wood or driver swing but since I have found the driver and fairways first, does anybody have a swing thought off the driver for playing irons? I used to play driver off my irons and I would try to think about a flatter downswing with driver than iron and staying back a little longer and along with the ball position I had what I needed to drive the ball. Could it be as easy as think about a more acute or steeper swing plane for irons as opposed to the driver? So far that is not clicking for me but it might be that I am not committed to it.
Anyway if anybody has anything that would help me play my irons off of my driver success, that would be great.
