Keeping the ball down/truer flight

m r c

Do all forgiving irons have a naturally very high ball flight? I'm taking my golf more seriously this year for the first time and the higher flights are starting to annoy me a bit. I find it easy enough to hit a higher shot by staying behind the ball but keeping the ball down in wind is not too easy even when set up for a low shot when struck well they just fly. I had taylormade r9's with the kbs 90r flex shaft and the combination leads to a very high flight so I changed to ap1's with r300 shafts which to be fair are better but still too high on the longer irons IMHO

What type of r300's are they DG or DL? The DG are a low flight shaft where the DL are high flight. If you have DG you might need the s300's.

Game improvement irons are generally designed to help the ball get into the air quicker but I think a lot of the time it's technique. To get a good penetrating ball flight you need to be hitting down on the ball and have a good position at impact. Have you had lessons or videod your swing?

The harder you hit it the higer it goes as well, take more club and a shorter swing to keep the ball down in the wind. Did you have a fitting when you got the new irons.

Hi thanks for the input, they are dynamic gold r300 that's the DG right?
Its a balls if they are lower flight already and I'm still hitting them high.

I'm not sure I mean that when I hit it harder it goes up, more when you really catch it "pure". Ah I'm not too sure how to put it better. Maybe I don't know what I'm on about. :-)

I'm not a fan of trying to hit longer irons easy. I find when hitting longer irons they need a full swing or a fully committed swing. Lads if that's pure B.S I'm after typing there go easy please :):D

On the fitting, I was but only kinda. It was more Neva*a Bo*s than Foreg*lf.

I'd definitely get a lesson before forking out money on new clubs...
