Re: HELP - skying the ball with IRONS

Hi,

High ball flight is normally due to a steep descending swing plane, this causes the ball to be pinched more into the turf creating additional compacting of the ball and backspin which launches it higher. It will also cause higher flight from a tee due to increased backspin.
