Lofted Step

Problem

You have difficulty remember how high the ball should fly with each of your irons.

Cure

Take extra practice time and pay attention to the trajectory you achieve with all of your clubs or at least with one wedge, long iron, and short iron.

Therapy

One easy way to note the loft of each of your irons is to step on the clubface. Select at least one wedge, short iron, and long iron. Set the clubs on the ground so that the clubface of each club is pointing up towards the sky. Now step on the clubface and check to see where the clubshaft is pointing. Notice how the wedge is pointing much higher than the long iron. The angle of the clubshaft will represent the trajectory you should achieve with that club.
