you should note that in the pics of the classic players they are all hitting short irons. that is what you want to look like if you are trying to hit a controlled med trajectory short iron. but try hitting a high 2 iron like that. find some clips of hogan hitting a 2 iron and he releases much ealier
In fact, for a given release point, shorter clubs take less time to reach its In-Line condition than do a longer club because of the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.
Since Hogan places the ball nearer Low Point (opposite Left Shoulder Hinge) with longer clubs such as a 2 iron, there will be less of that absolutely mandatory forward leaning of the Clubshaft through Impact. This may create the perception that Hogan is releasing the club earlier when in fact he is not. I think that's what you're getting at, right?
yes definately what i meant . good post. when hitting a two iron off the ground you just cant have as much forward lean in the shaft or you wont have the loft. you could place the ball more further forward in your stance and have your hands at the same aiming point but if your aiming point is out where trevinos is where he is hitting that short iron your ball position would have to be in front of your left foot. i think most people know that when hitting a long iron verse short iron if you put the same swing on it you wont get the same trajectories. most better players manipulate this by holding off the release in the follow though with the short irons like the pics that where shown to keep the ball down and controlled, and releasing a little earlier as well as moving the ball up in there stance to get the high soft ball flight with the long irons
