I am considering shortening my irons by one half inch to increase my ball striking consistency. I am about 5 foot 9 inches tall so neither overly short or tall in stature. Other than the obvious change in swing weight and potentially lie angle, are there any potential downsides to this option? Also, where should I stop the process. I have no problem with my wedges and consider myself a pretty good wedge player, but as my irons get longer I seem to progressively worse with my ball striking. Thanks for your input.
