I love how distance irons can help during those long par-3s. It’s nice to take a bit of pressure off having to crank out a perfect shot every time.

Distance irons are great, but let’s not forget the importance of practicing those fundamentals like stance and grip. You can have the best clubs but still struggle if those aren’t solid.

I’ve been using the TaylorMade Sim2 Max as my distance iron this year. The key for me has been really focusing on my swing plane. Make sure to keep it consistent for better contact.

That’s great advice, Dudley! I’ve found that practicing with alignment sticks helps me visualize my swing path better, leading to cleaner strikes.

For distance control, I always remember to adjust my grip pressure based on the distance I want to hit. A relaxed grip can help achieve that touch on longer shots.

Absolutely, Heather! Body movement is crucial. Make sure you’re also focusing on your follow-through to maximize your distance.

Anyone else feel like distance irons can be tough to hit consistently? Sometimes it feels like I get too anxious—just need to relax and trust my swing.

Totally get that, James! Maybe try visualizing your shot before you swing. It has helped me calm my nerves on the course.
