Subject: Why is my 5 iron shot different?

I have had my irons for 3 years, my 3 wood for 1-1/2 years, and my driver for 3 rounds. I thought the driver would take longer to adjust to; however, I hit it straight and long from the first time I teed it up. Having the other clubs seems to have "paved the way". Kudos, Mr. Lake. Now to my question: over the last year, I have developed a consistent tendency to pull or draw my 5 iron. I occasionally do the same with the 4 and 6. Once in a great while with the 3. I can not make sense of this.

John,

You have developed a swing flaw which all of us do from time to time. My suggestion is to make two trips to the range on consecutive days taking only your #3 iron. Do not hit more than 80 balls on each trip and pause after each shot so that you can analyze your swing. After hitting ten or fifteen shots you should see the draw tendency begin to disappear as your body unconsciously makes the hundreds of minute swing changes required. The second trip to the range is strictly for the purpose of ingraining your corrected swing.

I would also suggest that you slow your swing down initially as this can contribute to a pull or draw.

David Lake
