Hi Terry,
Just a quick thought from my experience. Our minds are very powerful things...what I've found is the tendency to get a little closer to the ball when hitting my short irons because that is what I've done for 30+ years. When I really concentrate on keeping the distance from the ball the same as my 7 iron for all shots, my divots and ball flight are more consistent and accuracy improves dramatically. Standing a little further away with your short irons will probably help you flatten out your swing and avoid hitting the "big ball before the little ball" (that overly steep swing that makes you hit fat). One of the big benefits to the 1Iron system is getting your mind and body grooved into one swing plane..but it does take some work to get your mind to cooperate.
Good luck...

Terry,

I believe that Mark has hit the nail on the head. The cause of your divots is more mental than physical. If you use the same set-up, ball position, swing, etc. with every iron and simply try to tick the spot under the ball with the sole of the clubhead on every shot then this problem should be eliminated.
