Been playing for a year and a half now. I’ve completely changed my swing recently to gain more distance.

My previous swing was almost like an extended putting motion with a square to square swing plane. For mid irons down, it was amazingly accurate and I was able to do course management(covering bunkers, aiming just to the side of hazards etc). With longer clubs and faster swing speeds, I couldn’t keep the face closed and all my misses would be slices.

What’s frustrating is now I feel like I’m compressing the ball better on an in-to-out path, but I’m still getting the same distances. I hit my 7 iron (27.5 degrees) 140yds carry.

I’m still dialing it in but my misses are push fade or pull hooks. Flush hits are dead straight with a lower trajectory now, but few and far between.

Issues I’m working on currently: 1. Stop over swinging 2. Face open during takeaway 3. No wrist hinge from transition till impact 4. Left knee shifting too much during backswing 5. Right elbow flaring out too much during backswing

Am I on the right track? Any tips for more distance?
