I think all the better players know about this exactly. They probably don't even realize they're doing it because it's become near automatic. I know I have to "wait" much more with my body when I'm swinging the driver than I am with a short iron. Especially now that I'm setting up more closed with my driver than every. It's still hell trying to figure out all the different bits of timing.
You need a different swing within irons too, not just woods vs. irons

Thx Jim. I feel I am on the right track.
Just watched the video. I think stuff is startting to really sink into this noggin of mine. Takes a while. But I do agree with your premise. Never bought into the "one swing fits all" theory.
I'm with you on this topic too Jim
I was getting to much variability with my distance control with the 8 iron because i would hit it like a long iron one day then like short iron another day that I took the 8 iron out of my bag
I feel I can just hit a smooth 7 iron or hard 9 iron to make up the gap plus it reinforces the idea of separate swings for short and long iron

Very interesting & enlightening stuff. I am a very aggresive swinger, and I have always been much better with my short irons than longer ones, or with the driver.
This brings up another interesting point - with different swings, maybe the one flex iron set-up would be obsolete?
( especially in better players who have the time & physical ability to practice this and get really good with it? )
