Q&A: Do some irons go farther than others based on their design/type of club? Will I lose distance switching irons?

Question by johnderson: Do some irons go farther than others based on their design/type of club? Will I lose distance switching irons?
I currently play the callaway x-20s which are fairly bulky and are an all around game improvement club. After playing with them a while, I realized I have acheived just about all these clubs have to offer in terms of feel, ball flight, spin and control. However, I can hit these a mile as I had an average distance of 210 yrds. from my six iron when I was getting fitted. I noticed it is easy to hit these a long way but there is hard to hit different shots other than a full on golf swing…. like punches or under the wind shots. So now I am looking at getting the mp-62s or Titleist ap2 but will I lose considerable distance with these clubs compared to my callaways? They seem a lot thinner and are designed for shot making and feel over sheer distance right?

P.S. What are some good irons on the market that are forgiving but still payable?( looking at mp-62 or titleist ap2s). Been playing 2 years and am currently ~14-16 handicap.

Forged Irons mean distance?

Question by Mainevent422: Forged Irons mean distance?
I just started playing golf again after 4 years of playing in high school. Two years later i need some clubs to play college golf. And i was looking at the Callaway x Forged set. I went to a Dick’s and hit the 8 iron and i love the smoothness of the swing.

So the question is, Forged irons(Blade?): does that mean little forgiveness?
Does that mean im going to have trouble adapting to a hardcore golfers type club?

Answer by vdrive_60
A forged blade will give you a higher degree of “workability”. Better players who have the ability can shape their shots better with blades than cavity-back irons. You are correct in the sense that forged blades will not be as forgiving on miss-hits.

what exercises can I do to increase the distance on my golf swing?

Is there any moves I can do on the driving range or in the gym to increase my distance on the golf course

Where exactly am I supposed to get distance from my golf swing?

I know that it’s not power from my arms. I know it has to do with swing speed. Where is the speed supposed to be coming from? I am 5’8″ 147 lbs. My friend is 5’10″ 120 lbs. and drives the ball 280 yards or so. I can’t get it passed 170. Please help. Where is the distance supposed to come from at the point of impact with the ball?
And I will be taking lessons soon, I just wanted to try to get this down pat. Thanks.

Improve Your Golf Swing And Driving Distance With Golf Stretches

The golf swing is arguably one of the most difficult athletic actions to perform. The golf swing requires you to draw the golf club through a long range of motion with proper technique and exact timing.

Any error in swing plane, timing, or sequence will cause your golf swing to suffer, and suffer it will. Unfortunately, the result of your golf swing suffering will be errant shots, poor golf scores, and frustration on the golf course.

Often the amateur is at a lost for why their golf swing results in errant shots. Countless hours are spent at the range in an effort to improve their golf swing. Hundreds or even thousands of dollars are spent on lessons each year, and not to mention the purchasing of new equipment.

It all adds up to a lot of time and money spent on improving the golf swing. Unfortunately, for many amateur golfers their handicaps and score never improve. Leading to the question “why is my golf game not improving?”

If this is you and this question lingers in your mind. The answer to your question could easily be staring right back at you in the mirror. The failure of improvement may have absolutely nothing to do with the driver you are swinging, the teaching pro helping you with your swing, or even your practice routine. It could all do with you! Yes you, the physical body swinging the golf club.

Keep in mind the golf club does not perform the mechanics of the golf swing. Nor do the mechanics of the golf swing execute themselves without you. It is you and your body executing the mechanics of the golf swing. The point to make is your body directly affects the mechanics of the golf swing.

Additionally, the golf swing requires your body to encompass certain physical qualities to execute the mechanics of the golf swing correctly. These physical qualities are certain levels of flexibility, muscular strength, balance, and power. If you are lacking the minimal amounts of flexibility, balance, strength, and power to execute the golf swing correctly. Compensations will occur even before you swing the golf club.

For example, let’s look at your flexibility. The golf swing requires you to draw the golf club through a large range of motion. The backswing requires a full shoulder turn to set the club in the correct slot for the downswing, and the finish position is almost a mirror image of the backswing.

In order to perform these parts of the golf swing correctly, the muscles of your body must be flexible. An inflexible body in which muscles are “tight” creates restrictions in movement. Restrictions in movement in relation to the golf swing will undoubtedly result in limitations pertaining to golf swing. The limitation will impede you from creating a full shoulder turn and balanced finish position. This causes compensations in the mechanics of the golf swing.

The entire body needs to be flexible for the golf swing. Certain muscles more than others are involved in the golf swing, and if these muscles are “tight” they will directly affect your golf swing. One such set of muscles is your hamstrings.

The hamstrings (back side of your upper leg) are often “tight” and cause problems to many people, not just golfers. However, they have a profound effect on the golf swing and it is not a good effect. Hamstrings that are “tight” are in a shortened position. The shortened position of the hamstrings has a direct effect on the position of your hips. Your hips will be “tucked”, directly affecting your posture. This in itself can hamper the ability to place oneself in the correct position at address within the golf swing, not to mention maintaining a proper spine angle during the swing.

Additionally, “tight” hamstrings place an undo amount of stress on the lower back. Large amounts of stress on the lower back cause fatigue, soreness, and increase the possibility of injury. If you are a golfer that has ever experienced lower back pain you know the effect it has on your ability to swing the golf club correctly.

A combination of a postural change and undo amounts of stress on the lower back, just begin to scratch the surface of the effect inflexible muscles can have on the golf swing. “Tight” muscles change the kinematics of the body. As a result, the biomechanics of the golf swing must be altered. These alterations usually lead to compensations in the mechanics of the golf swing resulting in errant shot patterns on the golf course.

And no matter what you do in terms of practice or instruction these alterations will not go away until you address them. Just as you address swing faults, you must address flexibility faults. Flexibility faults can be addressed through golf stretches.

Golf stretches enhance the flexibility of your body in relation to the golf swing. Golf stretches often times return muscles that are “tight” such as the hamstrings to their proper length. This results in the ability of your body to perform the biomechanics of the golf swing correctly. If you are one of many golfers who are not finding their golf swing improving through practice and instruction. Take a moment and look at the body swinging the golf club. This very well may be the root of your golf swing problems. Fix your flexibility faults through golf stretches and find yourself on the road to lower golf scores and more enjoyment in the game of golf.
