    I keep hitting it FAT!!!!

    My last few rounds I must of hit 8 iron shots fat!!! I just want to explode when I do it. The link below is a short video of me hitting balls at the range. Does anyone see anything in my swing that would open me up to hitting it fat.

    Personally I don't think it's your swing----maybe move the ball back a little ?
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    You have a nice swing , maybe invest in a lesson from a pro , it doesn't look like it would take much to fix your problem
    At the end of the day ... It gets dark

    Ditto... Don't listen to anyone suggest how to fix your issue unless they are a pro....
    Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing, ... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...

    You might want to start holding the club with your back (not lead hand) to begin with and then just add your lead hand. Also, please try to keep your knees flexed but do not sway during your shooting routine. Additional help can be offered with a lesson or two and you may call me Laura Lipson at 613-841-3907 if you need any lessons.

    Hard to tell if ball position is it - the camera is angled and cuts off the ball...

    Your setup is similar to mine...I felt like I was looking in a mirror.

    2 things I instantly noticed:

    Your grip is really strong, with both hands. This can change the leading edge coming in and make you hit fat shots among other things.

    You have a little bit of a reverse weight shift going on. Your upper body slides fwd just a bit as you go back. This moves your head and changing your head position is a classic chunk maker.

    Lots of simple fixes for those out there.


    Not a pro (any more. Former NCAA coach. Just my two cents

    Funny you mentioned my grip. I recently changed it to a more neutral grip, I have noticed some improvement. My round today I hit a couple fat but no where near like before. I will work on keeping the head still through the swing. Thanks for the input!!!
