It’s all about timing rather than trying to whack the ball as hard as possible. Allowing the energy to build so it’s at its peak at the point of impact is by far the best option you have to maintain consistency.

You will need to try to hit long irons straight and a lot of this will come into the loft that the long iron offers. Typically, the straighter the face, the more easy it is to miss wildly.
