On an all-Par 3 course today, I hit two effortless perfect iron shots bringing the club back to the address position at impact with the flying wedge (right wrist bent back), but my other iron shots were chopping wood (cutting across the ball, pulls). I don’t understand the turning part in the downswing with the clubhead—Although I can get the handle to the address position at impact, I can’t get the clubhead portion to swing out to the ball-- I would like specific help just for that part. Help! Does the answer have to do with keeping the R arm in an L shape on the downswing?

I'm struggling with this myself. My v1 analysis revealed i was leaning to much toward the target, had my hands set too far forward and my shoulders were pointing left all at the setup.
I re-stacked my address, moved the hips slightly forward and payed attention to the hands. Crispy strikes followed.
Also, sticking with the 2.8 drill for the time being. I went out Friday and sucked for 9 holes. I mean, "why do i even bother with this game" type of suck! On the turn, i regrouped, focused on the setup and 2.8 drill to play the back 9 and what do you know? My new saguto game came back and i shot 12 less on the back. Even with a series of 3 putts! My drives were back in the fairway, my irons were straight again! I took a sand wedge from 90 out, right at the pin, i hit it long and bounced off the green into the sand trap. My buddy made a comment and i said, "I don't even care, did you see that shot?" A similar approach on the next hole, my buddy was standing right next to me he said "i can't even see it.." i said, it's about to stick the green, boom!" 8 feet from the hole!
