... i've always been a long hitter due to my long arms, but something dawned on me at the range the other day and not only did it make me more accurate, but it gave me 15 or so yards on my irons. most of all though, i have a more penetrating ball flight that just rockets off the club and isn't as high as my ballooning shots i had been hitting.

what was it? ball position. i noticed that all of the really good golfers i play with stand a good distance away from the ball and have more bend than i do. so i decided to give it a try, and man did it make a difference. now i've got to redo my yardages, and maybe get more clubs.

my 3 iron is now flying... well, you guys wouldn't believe me anyways.

I do the same with my 3 hybrid and 4 iron. Works great.

Thats basically gaining two clubs distance, big difference for sure. I notice that a lot of some of the guys out on the range, having the ball in wrong position during the setup. Thats why playing with better golfers and noticing their setup and swing can help. I have guys at the course at times ask me to comment on what they're during wrong on their setup or swing too at times. Good for you.

i can't hit hybrids. i always end up pull hooking them. my clubs don't have any offset and most hybrids are set up for a draw.
