Thanks for the reply, I went to the range today and tried what you said about keeping your hands a head of the ball and hit alot more consistantly off the mats (have to see if im better of the fairways on saturday) and ive gained about 20-30 yards straight away when I tried it with my seven iron as the ball flight seems lower than usual which is good as I usually hit the ball extremely high which I feel is robbing me of distance

Thanks alot

Dave
