I am seeing a doorway out of my Irons Hell. I'm going to open it and see.
I've been using a Moe/Bryson style of swing for years. I stand up more than Moe did. More like Bryson, while trying to swing like Moe. And maybe I'm seeing the reason Bryson uses SL clubs. The straight arms combined with a fairly upright stance and that type of swing make for some crowding with short clubs. When I get out to my 38" 6 iron, things are very good.
Rather than solve it with SL short irons, first I'm going to try bending forward a little more. I can make good swings like that. I just need to see if my back is okay with it. If it's not, then I'm on to SL irons in the shorter end of the set.
