colej I used to be similar, I hit down too much and the ball went too high w too much spin. I literally used to use distance balls to cut my spin down 😂. Now that I “stopped” leading w my hands and not being so steep, I’m getting much better distance from the irons. I also get to use real golf balls now, so I don’t have to hit a chip and run at everything around the greens. YMMV, but that’s what I had to get away from.
