I am new to the OPS and this site. I have been working on the fundamentals that CQ talks about on a daily basis. Everything seems to work fine until I get to the 5, 4 and 3 iron. On my longer irons the ball starts low, straight and penetrating then it starts to tail off to the right (about 10 to 12 paces on a 4 iron shot 200yds) after it reaches its apex. I still have good compression of the golf ball with these longer irons. I know this could be an over the top move, but the ball seems to start on its intended target line and not left of it. I find that I have to really concentrate on my weight transfer and hip turn to get the ball to stay straight and true. However, this slows my swing flow and my misses are a little fat. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution or is it just me? Any insight you all might have would be great.

Welcome to the site! I'll leave the swing advice to the experts, but I highly recommend you check out the link below regarding the "new" ball flight laws. (Note -- the link worked in IE but not in Chrome.)
Based on the article on page 3 of this Trackman newsletter, you could still be coming over the top. In fact, your path could be almost 7 degrees out-to-in and the ball would still start on line if your face angle is only 1 degree open. This might help diagnose the issue or maybe prevent a misdiagnosis! |

Great read. Looks like I need to keep working on reducing the over the top move.

ericlovesgolf,
did you ever cure this problem? i am having the exact same thing happen to me. my long irons start directly on line with the target and take a 10-15 yard right turn. at least it is consistent |
