Hi, i am a 20+handicapper, and found that when i switched to wider sole irons, I had to "stab" downward more at the ball. The wider sole stops the club from digging into the ground. Try this: look at the back of the ball the entire time you take the club up to the backswing, keep looking at it when you start the swing, and try to drive the wide sole into the ground right behind the ball...hope that helps!
