First clip is with my 5 iron, second with my 7. I usually don’t take divots so I was working on that this day. My iron game is very inconsistent but I can usually hit the 8 or 9 more consistently than 5,6 or 7. Feels like I’m “hunched” at impact and I feel like I’m not getting the distance I should with longer irons. Thanks in advance!

Your club is very steep in the downswing, maybe too much cup in your wrists for your grip but I can’t really tell for sure. I like to kind of feel like my club is falling backwards a little while I shift my weight forward.
You cast and early extension in the hips, that’s the issue. I have the same issue, and I don’t take much divot even when I’m striking the ball well. My issue revolves around rotation if I’m not rotating in the hips enough through impact, I will end up casting the club and losing all my lag at impact.
My hack advice would be to just start hitting a lot of half shots until you really get into the feel for compressing the ball in good rotation. That and go get a lesson.
Arms. Some rotation. But no weight shift. No ball compression.
do you know how to skip a rock?
Take something soft and try skipping it and really exaggerate that motion.
After you did that, try translating that to your golf swing. Try getting similar feels and this will usually fix most issues.
Good deal I’ll try it out!
